1. Abstract
This manual provides specifications for the OPC-3301i handheld Bluetooth 1D CCD scanner.
2. Overview
The OPC-3301i is a handheld 1D scanner with a built-in CCD imager that enables high speed scanning
of standard linear (1D) symbologies. The scanned data is output via Bluetooth.
・ All bar code data scanned is transmitted to a host device through the Bluetooth interface.
・ The scanner can work with many Bluetooth-enabled host devices, such as PCs, tablet PCs and
smart phones.
・ Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Profile) and HID (Human Interface Device Profile) are implemented.
・ The scanner can read bar codes from LCD screens.
・ This scanner is equipped with a vibrating function that can signal certain events to the users even
in noisy environments. Additionally it has a buzzer and a LED indicator.
・ A single red LED aiming line toward a target bar code can help the users find the appropriate
scanning position.
・ Special antimicrobial treatment is applied to the chassis, and alcohol can be used to wipe the
scanner clean (except for the scanning window and the logo panel).
・ The power source is 3.7 V 1100 mAh (typ.) lithium-ion battery.
・ A dedicated charging cradle CHG-3201 is supplied for recharging and easy storage of the
scanner.
・ The scanner is Apple MFi certified.

8.9. Auto Trigger
When the scanner is placed in a dedicated stand (sold separately) which contains a magnet, it can
detect this magnet and enters auto trigger mode. The scanner starts scanning automatically when it
detects a change in brightness that occurs when a bar code label is presented in front of it.

8.9.2. Auto Trigger Operation
The scanner has an optional auto trigger mode in which it starts to read a bar code
automatically when it detects one.
When auto trigger mode is enabled, the scanner tries to detect bars at regular intervals and
when it detects 18 or more bars, it enters read mode in which it tries to decode a bar code.
When the scanner continues to detect bars after the reading has been done, it will assume
those bars are from the same bar code as the previous one and will not attempt to read it.
When the detecting conditions are not met, the scanner will perform the intermittent scanning
again until the next bar code is detected.
