OPN-2001 Companion Application - Configure Beeper

How can I prevent accidentally swiching off the beeper sound when scanning a barcode?

The OPN-2001 has many features and options. Most of them need to be set through settings-barcodes or through software commands with the Opticon OPN2001 Companion Application.

Sometimes the Beeper of the OPN-2001 is accidentally switched off. With the default factory settings this is possible by pressing the large scan button for 10 seconds, without actually scanning a code.

Before starting the procedure explained below first make sure to switch back-on the beeper!
Information how to do this using the scan button functions can be found here.

The question is: how to prevent accidentally swiching off the beeper?

For this you will need the Opticon OPN2001 Companion Application. This tool can be downloaded free of charge here. Read the instructions provided on this page and through the installer.

After correct installation of the Opticon USB drivers and the Companion Application connect your OPN-2001 and start the Companion Application.
