1.0 - Introduction
The CortexOPOSTM service object allows Code barcode readers to interface with Windows PC applications
that use the OPOS standard to communicate with peripherals. By default, the driver installation will create
an OPOS device that will work for all USB-connected Code barcode readers. The CortexOPOS installer will
also install the CortexOPOSTM Device Manager. The Device Manager gives users more advanced options,
which include conguration for RS232-connected devices—including modems and multiple devices con-
nected at the same time.
The CortexOPOSTM service object supports USB and RS232 connections between the reader and the host
computer. RS232 connection between the modem and host computer is also supported. Bluetooth con-
nections are not supported at this time.
2.0 - Hardware Requirements
Component Requirements
Computer PC/AT compatible
Hard Disk In addition to the capacity recommended for the OS, the hard disk must have at least
10 MB space available
Memory A minimum of 94 MB of memory is required, and an additional 256 MB is
recommended

Operating System PC/AT compatible
4.0 - CortexOPOSTM USB Device Types
There are two different ways to set up a Code USB reader for OPOS:
Type Description
Generic CortexOPOSTM
device (default)
This is an OPOS-registered device that is not tied to any particular Code barcode
reader. It will communicate with any connected Code barcode reader (CR1000,
CR5000, etc.)
Hardware-specic
CortexOPOSTM device
This is an OPOS-registered device that is tied to a single physical Code barcode read-
er serial number. CAUTION: If this type of device is congured using the
CortexOPOSTM Device Manager, and the reader is replaced (even if it is with the same
reader model—but not the exact same physical reader), the OPOS system will not be
able to communicate with the reader.
Note: The concept of generic vs. hardware-specic devices is only relevant to USB-connected devices.
When an RS232 CortexOPOSTM device is created, it will communicate with any Code barcode reader that is
connected to that RS232 port—as long as the reader is correctly congured.

5D008736_04 CortexOPOS User Manual
5.1 - Download the OPOSinstaller.zip le available
from codecorp.com/downloads.
5.2 - Run the CortexOPOSSetup executable, and
press Next when the screen below opens.
5.3 - Accept the Terms & Conditions and select
Next.
5.4 - You can specify a generic CortexOPOSTM device
be created during installation. Keep the check-
box checked if you want the device created and
designate a device name in the text box. Uncheck
the box to skip the device creation step (device
will need to be created later in Device Manager).
Select the desired options and click Next. (Note:
If a generic CortexOPOSTM device has been created
previously, this screen will not be shown.)
5.5 - Select Install, then Finish to complete the
installation process.
At this point, the CortexOPOSTM service object is
installed. Prior to using a Code barcode reader with
the OPOS software, it must be congured for OPOS
operation (see Section 6 or 7).
5.0 - Installation
If a generic device was created as part of the instal-
lation, the OPOS software application should be
able to connect to a properly congured device. If a
generic device was not created, then the
CortexOPOSTM Device Manager application must be
used to congure a Code device for use with OPOS.

8.0 - Conguring a CR2700 with CRA-A271 Bluetooth Inductive
Charging Station
To congure a CR2700 for use with CortexOPOSTM, rst connect the CR2700 to the Bluetooth Inductive
Charging Station by scanning the Quick Connect Code located on the front of the Bluetooth Inductive
Charging Station. Then scan the following barcode.
To restore the original conguration, scan the Reset Bluetooth reader to factory defaults M20390
barcode from the online conguration guide at codecorp.com/support/cong-guides.
9.0 - CortexOPOSTM Device Manager
The CortexOPOS™ Device Manager provides options for more advanced congurations. If only one Code
barcode reader will be connected to the host computer, and it will be connected using USB, then the
default conguration is all that is necessary. The CortexOPOS™ Device Manager permits conguration
of RS232 devices, multiple generic devices, or hardware-specic devices (one or more). All USB devices
must either be generic or hardware-specic; types cannot be mixed.
Note: If you have more than one USB device enumerated with the host, there is no guarantee which device
will be connected. The driver will connect to the rst device returned by the operating system while enumer-
ating USB devices.
6.0 - Conguring a Reader for
USB Communication
Scan the following barcode to congure the reader
for OPOS mode using USB communication.
*Use M10009_01 for CR1000, CR1400, CR5000,
and CR8000. Use M20307_01 for CR8200, CR1500,
CR1100, and CR950.
To restore the original conguration, scan the
Reset to USB Factory Defaults barcode from the
online conguration guide at
codecorp.com/support/cong-guides.
7.0 - Conguring a Reader for
RS232 Communication
Scan the following barcode to congure the reader
for OPOS mode using RS232 communication.
**Use M10467_01 for CR1000, CR1400, CR5000,
and CR8000. Use M20308_01 for CR8200, CR1500,
CR1100, and CR950.
To restore the original conguration, scan the
Reset to RS232 Factory Defaults barcode from the
online conguration guide at
codecorp.com/support/cong-guides.

12.0 - Using the Microsoft POS for .NET Sample Application
Microsoft provides the Microsoft Point of Service for .NET or Microsoft POS for .NET library that includes
a sample application that can be used with OPOS drivers—including the CortexOPOS™ driver for Code
barcode readers—to test communication with OPOS devices. This software can be downloaded from
Microsoft at microsoft.com/en-us/download.
12.1 -Install the Microsoft POS for .NET software.
12.2 - Open the TestApp.exe sample application
(close any other OPOS applications, including
CortexOPOS™ Device Manager, and any other Code
applications).
12.3 - Make sure you have a properly congured
Code reader connected to the computer. Expand
the Scanner block in the left pane, and select the
device name specied for the connected Code
Reader (Code Barcode Reader by default).
12.4 - Press Open, then Claim to connect to the
reader.
12.5 - Check the DeviceEnabled, the DataEventEn-
abled, and the Decode Data checkboxes. Scan a
barcode and see the results in the bottom window.
