Connecting the Camera to a Computer

There are three interfaces that can be used to connect the camera to a computer. Once a

connection is established using one of the three interfaces, you can start the software

and begin to load the camera images. (➔ p. 15 or 28)

Connecting to a USB Port (➔ p. 8)

If your computer is equipped with a USB port such as that shown below, you can

connect the camera to it with the supplied USB cable.

• The USB interface transfers data more rapidly than the serial interface and can start

the image loading software automatically.

• The camera will not operate correctly with a USB port controlled by the Windows 95

or Windows NT 4.0 operating system.

Connecting to a Serial Port (COM Port) (➔ p. 13)

If your computer is equipped with a serial port such as that shown below, you can

connect the camera to it with the supplied serial cable.

Connecting via a CF Card Reader or PC Card Slot (➔ p. 14)

If your computer is equipped with a CF card reader or PC card slot, you can place the

camera’s CF card into either device to establish a direct connection.
