7 Installing drivers
7.1 USB-VCP drivers
To be able to communicate with the barcode readers using USB-VCP, you will need to have Opticon’s USB driver
installed on your PC. This driver can be found on our website on the 'Service and Support' page.
www.opticon.com/SERVICE-AND-SUPPORT.aspx
The driver can be found in the section called 'Software' and then selecting the OPN2004, OPN2005, OPN2006 or
PX20 on the following page.
USB Drivers Installers.exe
USB-VCP driver for Windows 2000 , Windows XP (32bit) & Windows Vista/7 (32bit)
USB-VCP driver for Windows XP (64bit) & Windows Vista/7 (64bit)
After installing the USB driver, you can connect your barcode reader to USB using the mini-USB cable. Windows will
then automatically install a virtual COM port on your PC, which can be selected in various applications, like Appload,
Hyperterminal, OseComm32 and NetO32.
8 Using the Mass Storage Device (MSD) interface
When the USB-MSD interface has been selected (see chapter 3.1) the barcode reader will behave like a read-only
USB thumb drive when connected to USB.
Since version RFx3793x the file system has been made read-only (write protected) due to issues with Windows 8.1
and Windows 10, causing the file system to become corrupt when the device was disconnected without performing
a safe removal. This is due to the incorrect creation of a ‘system volume information’ folder on the FAT12 file system
by Windows.
When using Windows 8.1 and 10. To prevent data-loss, make sure you enable the Windows option: ‘Do not allow
locations on removable drives to be added to libraries’ before considering re-enabling full access using the options
below :
Any scanned barcodes will be stored in a comma separated value file called ‘SCANNED.TXT’, which can be copied
from the barcode reader using a file browser.
