USB 2.0  Interface 

The Rolera Bolt is powered and controlled through a Universal-Serial-Bus (USB) 2.0 digital interface. 
A single USB connection from the camera to the computer allows full control of the camera and rapid image 
data transfer from the camera to the computer. 

Cables 

A USB 2.0 interface cable is included with the camera. One end of this cable connects to the available USB port 
on the back of the camera; the other end of the cable plugs into one of your computer’s available USB ports or 
external USB hub. The USB cable is typically used both for data communication and for supplying power to the 
camera. 
If the computer used does not supply the necessary power requirements of the camera, a separate power 
connection exists on the back plate of the camera for external power input.

Imaging Software for Your Camera 

Industry Standard Imaging Applications 

The Rolera Bolt works with industry-standard Windows imaging software. 

QCapture Suite Software

The Rolera Bolt operates on both Windows based systems. QCapture Suite Software for both systems is 
available at 

www.qimaging.com

. The easy-to-use QCapture software gives you complete control over the 

camera’s settings and image capture functions. QCapture Suite also includes a TWAIN-compliant interface that 
allows many Windows image-editing applications to acquire images using QImaging cameras.
