When the scanner is changed between HID and USB-COM mode, allow the Windows operating
system a little time to reload the drivers for the scanner.

OPOS Driver

The HP Wireless Barcode Scanner by default is shipped in the human interface device (HID)
keyboard emulation mode. In order to use the barcode scanner with OLE for Retail POS (OPOS)
drivers the scanner must be put into USB COM (OPOS) mode.

For your convenience the bar code to put the HP Wireless Barcode Scanner into USB COM (OPOS)
mode or into HID keyboard emulation are located in this document. Refer to the HP Wireless Barcode
Scanner Programming Reference Guide (PRG) for complete list of barcodes. The document can be
found on the HP Point of Sale System Software and Documentation CD that comes with the scanner
or the softpaq that is located on the HP support web site.

Scan the following bar code (USB COM OPOS) in order to put the HP Wireless Barcode Scanner into
the mode to be used with the OPOS drivers.

2 Product Features

HP Wireless Barcode Scanner

With rich feature sets and extensive model options, the HP Wireless Barcode Scanner represents the
premium level of data collection equipment for general purpose applications. The HP scanner has
enhanced optics with improved motion tolerance, allowing codes placed on fast-moving objects to be
easily and quickly captured, creating the ideal scanner for tasks requiring high throughput like those
found in retail and light industrial environments. The scanner includes the following features:

● Omni-Directional Operation: To read a symbol or capture an image, simply aim the scanner

and pull the trigger. The HP Wireless Barcode Scanner is a powerful omni-directional scanner,
so the orientation of the symbol is not important. The “Green Spot” for good-read feedback helps
to improve productivity in noisy environments or in situations where silence is required. When
using the product with the cradle at a 45° position, the aiming pattern can work as an aiming
system to aid in positioning the bar code for quick and intuitive reading.

1D and 2D Symbol Decoding: Reliably decodes all standard 1D (linear) and 2D bar codes,

●

including:

GS1 DataBar™ linear codes

◦

◦ Postal Codes (China Post)

Stacked Codes (such as GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked, GS1 DataBar Stacked, GS1

◦

DataBar, Stacked Omnidirectional)

The data stream — acquired from decoding a symbol — is rapidly sent to the host. The scanner
is immediately available to read another symbol.

Imaging: The scanner can also function as a camera by capturing entire images or image

●

portions of labels, signatures, and other items.
