Opticon Data Collectors

Using Opticon Data Collectors with Surpass Cloud

Your Opticon data collector scanners can be used to scan barcodes for physical inventory. You use Opticon's software to read the barcodes from the scanners and create a file that can be uploaded to Surpass Cloud's Resources : Inventory : Take Inventory page for processing.

Setup

The setup steps need to be performed only once on each computer that will be used.

1. Download and install the Opticon software

• For OPH-1004, OPH-1005 and DCL-1530: http://wiki.opticonusa.com/techsupport/en/NetO

Download and install the file named Net032 as shown below:

2. Connect scanner to your computer

3. Note which COM port your scanner is using

Check Windows Device manager for this. If you aren't sure or can't find it in Device Manager, you can try different COM port settings in Step 6 until you find the one that works.

4. Create a Folder on your computer for Surpass Inventory files

Example: C:\Surpass Inventory

5. Open Net032 and select Tools > Options

6. Change settings

Change the following three settings (leave the other settings at the default values) and click Apply:

• COM port - The COM port to which your scanner is connected.
• Baudrate - 115200.
• IrDA - Tekram compatible

7. Set the Receiving Directory

Click Download.

Then set the Receiving Directory to the folder you created in Step 4 (e.g. C:\Surpass Inventory) then click OK.

8. Save the settings

Select File > Save As and save the file on your Desktop as Surpass Inventory Downloader.nsf.

9. This will be the file to open each time you want to perform inventory.
