4.1 USB Operation
To use the OptiScan II controller via the USB connection the user will need to install the USB
connection software. This can be found in the USB folder on the CD.
The following setup is required for USB communication with the OptiScan II controller in
Windows XP. If you are not running XP, please consult the Readme file on the CD or
contact Prior. There is no setup required for RS232 communication.
Typical Installation
1. Select an open USB port on the PC and connect the OptiScan II using the cable
provided. Note that the following configuration will apply only to the specific port you
have selected. It is recommended that a hub not be used.
2. Switch OptiScan II on. Windows XP should detect the device and display the ‘Found
new hardware’ message bubble, which after a moment will report that ‘Your new
hardware is installed and ready to use.’ Note that setup is not yet complete.
3. Insert P

when prompted.
