The OptimusR Series has various ways of communicating with a host device.  Depending on the model of 
Optimus, it can communicate via RS232, USB, or Wi-Fi connection.  The OptimusR can store data in the unit or 
send data real time via a Wi-Fi connection.  The OptimusR has the ability to utilize a RS232 or USB connection to 
communicate to a host device for both application program downloads and data uploads.  The OptimusR includes 
either a USB or RS232 cable.  In order to begin an application download or data transfer the following steps 
would need to be followed. 
 

1.  Remove the Optimus cradle, the power supply, and either the USB or the RS232 cable from the box. 
2.  Plug the power supply into a power outlet and insert the other end into the cradle.  The red LED on the 

cradle will illuminate if the power supply is connected correctly. 

3.  Follow steps a, b, or c 

a.  For the RS232 cable, plug the 9 pin serial connector into a serial port on the host device.  Plug 

the opposite end into the communication port of the cradle. 

b.  For the USB cable, plug the USB end of the cable into an appropriate communication port on the 

host device and the opposite end of the cable into the communication port of the cradle*. 

c.  For the Wi-Fi, connection to communicate with the host device the settings on OptimusR and the 

host device must be configured correctly.   

4.  Power up the Optimus and select the Utilities option.  This will open additional menu options.   
5. Select the Transfer Files option. 
6. Select Get Program on the next menu.  The unit is now ready to download an application program. 
7.  Place unit in cradle and download the appropriate application program. 
8.  Once the Optimus has received the application program, the unit is ready for scanning and collecting data. 

 

 

Note: There are OptimusR models available that do not include the cradle.  Models that do 

not include a cradle as an accessory can have the power supply and the 
communication cable connected directly to the unit.
