Bluetooth Options
•
Bluetooth-HID
- This connection mode is the most common and is normally supported by host devices
(computers, tablets and smartphones). Bluetooth-HID mode works as if a Bluetooth keyboard were
attached to the host device. This means that all data scanned will be as if typed. It is important that
there is a blinking cursor ready to accept your scanned data. Any text field is a valid place to scan a
barcode.
•
Bluetooth-SPP
- This connection mode can be complicated and is only recommended for advanced
users or users who have a dedicated application that manages connections to the scanner. It may also
be necessary when pairing with older host devices that do not support Bluetooth-HID mode.
•
Apple MFi
- This Bluetooth mode is a serial connection mode similar to Bluetooth-SPP though in
a proprietary format devised by Apple. It allows two-way communication with the scanner from
an iOS application that implements Opticon’s iOS SDKs (an example of which is called OPNTerm
which can be downloaded from the Apple App Store). The associated APIs allow iOS developers to
create their own OPN-3102i applications or integrate the OPN-3102i into their existing application.
Please contact support@opticonusa for the SDK

Feedback Options
•
Vibrate Only
- The OPN-3102i will only vibrate to alert the operator of a successful scan.
•
Buzzer Only
- The OPN-3102i will only beep to alert the operator of a successful scan.
•
Buzzer & Vibrate
- The OPN-3102i will both beep and vibrate to alert the operator of a successful scan.
Bluetooth Disconnect / Reconnect
• When connected, a Bluetooth connection can be broken by holding the trigger key for 5 seconds. This
will prolong battery life in some situations.
• When disconnected, a Bluetooth connection can be reestablished by holding the trigger key for 3
seconds. Barcode data stored when disconnected will be automatically transmitted.
