1.0 - Introduction The CortexOPOSTM service object allows Code barcode readers to interface with Windows PC applications that use the OPOS standard to communicate with peripherals. By default, the driver installation will create an OPOS device that will work for all USB-connected Code barcode readers. The CortexOPOS installer will also install the CortexOPOSTM Device Manager. The Device Manager gives users more advanced options, which include configuration for RS232-connected devices—including modems and multiple devices con- nected at the same time. The CortexOPOSTM service object supports USB and RS232 connections between the reader and the host computer. RS232 connection between the modem and host computer is also supported. Bluetooth con- nections are not supported at this time. 2.0 - Hardware Requirements Component Requirements Computer PC/AT compatible Hard Disk In addition to the capacity recommended for the OS, the hard disk must have at least 10 MB space available Memory A minimum of 94 MB of memory is required, and an additional 256 MB is recommended 3.0 - Software Requirements Component Requirements Operating System PC/AT compatible 4.0 - CortexOPOS TM USB Device Types There are two different ways to set up a Code USB reader for OPOS: Type Description Generic CortexOPOS TM device (default) This is an OPOS-registered device that is not tied to any particular Code barcode reader. It will communicate with any connected Code barcode reader (CR1000, CR5000, etc.) Hardware-specific CortexOPOS TM device This is an OPOS-registered device that is tied to a single physical Code barcode read- er serial number. CAUTION: If this type of device is configured using the CortexOPOS TM Device Manager, and the reader is replaced (even if it is with the same reader model—but not the exact same physical reader), the OPOS system will not be able to communicate with the reader. Note: The concept of generic vs. hardware-specific devices is only relevant to USB-connected devices. When an RS232 CortexOPOS TM device is created, it will communicate with any Code barcode reader that is connected to that RS232 port—as long as the reader is correctly configured.

5.1 - Download the OPOSinstaller.zip file available from codecorp.com/downloads. 5.2 - Run the CortexOPOSSetup executable, and press Next when the screen below opens. 5.3 - Accept the Terms & Conditions and select Next. 5.4 - You can specify a generic CortexOPOS TM device be created during installation. Keep the check- box checked if you want the device created and designate a device name in the text box. Uncheck the box to skip the device creation step (device will need to be created later in Device Manager). Select the desired options and click Next. (Note: If a generic CortexOPOS TM device has been created previously, this screen will not be shown.) 5.5 - Select Install, then Finish to complete the installation process. At this point, the CortexOPOS TM service object is installed. Prior to using a Code barcode reader with the OPOS software, it must be configured for OPOS operation (see Section 6 or 7). 5.0 - Installation If a generic device was created as part of the instal- lation, the OPOS software application should be able to connect to a properly configured device. If a generic device was not created, then the CortexOPOS TM Device Manager application must be used to configure a Code device for use with OPOS.
