Specifications Manual
1. Abstract
This manual provides specifications for the OPL-9813 barcode data collector.
2. Overview
The OPL-9813 is a barcode data collector that contains a compact laser module.
This data collector offers efficient scanning performance that is suitable for various business
environments and is able to store scanned data and data configured via keyboard input.
Infra-red radiation communication is one of communication functions of the OPL-9813.
Stored data can be sent to the host computer by IrDA Ver.1.2-compliant infra-red radiation
communication (using a dedicated cradle).
The OPL-9813 is a laser data collector with a GPS (Global Positioning System) feature and
clock function. Those extra features of the OPL-9813 make it possible to add location data
and a time stamp to scanned barcode data.
