# Install Opticon Drivers & Application on a Computer

We use Opticon OPN2001 barcode scanner for refiling and other tasks that involve scanning barcodes.

On our computer we need two things: drivers and application to be able to download data from OPN2001.

Open the .zip file, **USB Drivers Installer**, then the .exe file and click on "Yes" to allow the application to make changes on your computer.

When the window open, uncheck all except "OPN/OPR/MDI/OPI/OPH/M5/M6 Drivers.

Open the .zip file, **OPN200x Setup 2.19**, then the .exe file and click on "Yes" to allow the application to make changes on your computer.

Click on "Next" > "I Agree" > Destination Folder should be on the C drive > "Next" > "Install" > "Do you want to create a shortcut on the desktop?" > "Yes" > "Finish"

With the application open, uncheck all the boxes under "Display" if they are checked.

Close the application.

Do a test scan of couple barcodes then plug in OPN2001 and download the data to make sure it works.
