This manual provides specifications for the OPV 1001 laser multi-barcode scanner.
2. Overview
The OPV 1001 outputs laser beams in multiple directions (4 lines each in 5 directions) to
scan barcodes. For non-contact scanning, a barcode needs to face the scan window of the
OPV 1001.
For periods of inactivity, the power saving mode (laser disabled, motor off) can be set using
commands or menu barcodes. Power saving mode will be automatically disabled when the
brightness in front of the scanner is changed; for example, when an object is placed in front
of the scanner.
You can use a dedicated stand (an accessory, sold separately) to adjust the height and
angle of the scanner.
Opticon
OPV 1001
The feature settings of the OPV 1001 are configured either by scanning menu barcodes or
by sending commands.
The OPV 1001 outputs scanned data through any of the following interfaces: RS-232C,
Keyboard Wedge, or USB.

7.3. Scan Area and Resolution
7.3.1. Scan Area
The scannable area depends on the barcode type (PCS, resolution, length,
etc.) and the direction of the barcode surface. However, the barcode should be
set within the following area.

Figure 1: Scan area
Note: Binary codes are more likely to cause scanning errors than multi-level
codes. To minimize problems, fix the length of binary codes.
Depth of Field
The depth of field is measured from the edge of the scanner. The scanning
range is within the circular arc centered on the scan origin.
