The USB dongle (OPA 1001) acts as an HID keyboard interface and is supported on
Microsoft Windows 2000 through Vista.

Installing the Dongle
Connect the USB dongle to the host computer directly or through a commercially
available extension cable.
The Windows standard HID device driver is installed automatically when
connecting the USB dongle to the host computer’s USB port.
During initialization, the LED turns orange. The dongle LED turns green after it is
initialized and a connection is made.

Connecting the Scanner
1. Connect the USB dongle to the host computer and make sure a green LED is
blinking.
2. Press the trigger key to start the reading operation.
3. Scan the IEEE address barcode label “A4xxxxxxxx” on the USB dongle to
register the scanner. The connection is complete and you can start barcode
reading.
6. Scanning a Barcode
1.
Remove the scanner from its cradle (if it is docked).
2.
Press the trigger switch. The scanner's LED emits a beam of light to start the scanning.
Note: If the scanner is not charged or the battery's charge is low, the scanner will not
function.
3.
Aim the light beam at the target barcode.
4.
The scanner will beep if the scan has been successful. The OPI 4001 Handheld Scanner
will not beep if it does not scan a barcode and the light beam will turn off after 3 seconds
of pressing the trigger.
Note: The aiming pattern does not indicate an exact scannable width or distance
between a scanner and a barcode.
