The clean white design and compact dimensions make this product appear state-of-the-art. And rightly so, as the CCD engine is powerful and the data transfer is fast. The OPN-4000i allows businesses to integrate barcode scanning into their processes or services with a simple and accurate companion. Some of the applications include sales and service, point-of-sale in retail, inventory management, asset tracking, visitor registration, and inventory. Clearly, there is a wide audience for such a versatile product. This device is a CCD scanner with a very intuitive interface, lightweight, and fits in the palm of your hand. Thanks to Bluetooth, the device is capable of transmitting data in real-time. The scanner comes in two versions: version i and version n. The n is the pure OPN-4000i in all its glory, while the i is the OPN-4000i with a special addition; it is Apple MFi certified. This means it can connect with Apple products like the iPhone, iPod, and iPad. If a Bluetooth connection cannot be established, the OPN-4000i stores the data on the device until a connection is reestablished or when it is plugged in with a USB cable. Operating the scanner is incredibly simple. No special training is required, as users only need to press a trigger button to operate it and a reset button for error control.
