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.

Requirements for the USB Interface
• The USB interface can only be used to connect the camera to computers
purchased with Windows 98 preinstalled (clean installation). The USB ports on
computers running versions of Windows 98 upgraded from Windows 3.1 or

mice and keyboards, are connected. If this problem arises, detach the camera
and the other devices, and reconnect the camera only.
• Do not connect more than one camera to the USB ports of the same computer
at the same time. The cameras may not operate correctly.
Important
Please do not place your computer into standby mode while this camera is
connected to its USB port. If the computer is placed into standby mode while
the camera is connected to the USB port, do NOT disconnect the USB cable
from the camera or computer. Try to revive the computer. If the USB cable is
detached while the computer is in standby mode, some models of computer
may not return to active mode correctly. For instructions regarding the
standby mode, please consult the manual accompanying your computer and
operating software.
