Specifications Manual

1. Abstract

This document provides master specifications on the OPL 2724 wireless barcode scanner
(hereafter referred to as “scanner”).

2. Overview

This scanner uses wireless barcode technology. Scanned data is transferred to the designated
device via wireless communication (Bluetooth V1.2). Short-wavelength red laser beams
enhance the visibility of scanning lines for easier aiming under adverse lighting conditions.

To start a scan, press the trigger switch. Do not allow the scanner to directly touch the surface
of a barcode when scanning. Code options, read options, and communication settings can be
configured by sending commands or by reading barcode labels.

If the OPL 2724 is disconnected because it is out of range or the Bluetooth device is not
available, scanned data will be saved in the built-in scanner memory. The OPL 2724 uses two
AAA alkaline batteries as its power supply.

Notes

1. This product complies with Bluetooth standards. The device that communicates
with this product must support the same SPP. For other Bluetooth devices with
other profiles we cannot guarantee a connection before the products have been
tested.

2. The communication speed and range of the product may vary due to obstacles
and radio wave conditions between this product and the device to which it is
connected. Conditions on the host device may also affect the communication
speed and communication range of the scanner.

3. The prospective distance may vary based on environmental characteristics. Also
note the following frequency description.

9.1.1.

Frequency Band

This product uses the 2.4 GHz frequency band. Scientific, medical, and industrial
devices, including microwaves, wireless security (camera) systems and W-LAN
use the same frequency band as this scanner. Other radio stations also use this
frequency for mobile object identification, including local private radio stations that
require a license (for example, manufacturing lines at factories), specific power­saving radio stations requiring no license, and amateur radio stations.

Interference from other devices may affect the communication speed or
communication range of this scanner or vice versa.
