3.2. USB Dongle (OPA 1001)

A dongle is a mechanism for ensuring that only authorized users can copy or use specific
software applications. Common mechanisms include a hardware key that plugs into a
parallel, serial, or USB port on a computer and that the software application accesses for
verification before continuing to run.

The USB dongle (OPA 1001) contains the receiver port for the handheld scanner. For the
scanner to function, you must connect the dongle between the scanner and the host
computer’s USB port. The OPA 1001 dongle supports USB version 1.1.

Note: When installing the scanner on the PC, if the position of the IEEE address
label makes the barcode unreadable, move the label onto the PC so the barcode
can be read.

USB dongle included with the scanner.
