1. Abstract

This manual provides specifications for the PX-20 portable 2D barcode data collector.

2. Overview

The PX-20 is a very compact data collector with a built-in 2D barcode scanner. Due to its
compact size and its Bluetooth capabilities, the PX-20 is the ideal companion scanner for
mobile devices like the iPhone/iPad and Android telephones and tablets. The supported
Bluetooth profiles are HID (keyboard emulation) and SPP (serial port emulation) Special
support is added for iOS devices that allows for the use of the on-screen keyboard, while
the PX-20 is connected. Additional to the Bluetooth wireless capabilities, the PX-20 also has
a 1MByte storage space for off-line use. The USB interface can then be used to download
the data. This is then again either as HID (keyboard emulation) or VCP (serial port
emulation). The PX-20 is fully programmable, using Opticon’s easy to use development
tools that are available for free.
