1. Abstract
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.
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.
7.3.2. 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.

a) No Handshaking
The scanner attempts the communication regardless of the state of the
host computer.
Figure 10: No handshaking
b) BUSY/READY
The scanner and the host computer notify each other of their state and
whether they can receive data with BUSY/READY through an RTS line.
They can communicate state to each other through a CTS line when
connected as in the following figure.
Figure 11: Busy/Ready communication
The scanner stays ON (is able to receive data) except during certain parts
of the process, such as receiving data (buzzer command execution),
transmitting data, and menu processing. The scanner checks the CTS line
before transmitting data. When it is ON, the scanner transmits data. When
it is OFF, the scanner waits for it to turn ON within a set time. The scanner
will abort transmission with an error indication (buzzer) when the CTS line

follows, and the default setting is “indefinitely“ (I0).

When the CTS line (RTS signal on the host side) is turned OFF while
sending a TxD signal, the scanner transmits one character and waits.
When the CTS signal is turned ON while transmitting a character, the
character will be transmitted.

Note: When using loopback (wire connection) for RTS, CTS line of the
scanner in this setting, No Handshake is not enabled.
