Preface
Thank you for purchasing the Olympus SmartMedia USB reader. The SmartMedia card
reader is designed to read/write data from SmartMedia cards, when connected to
Windows 98 based computers with a USB port, and Apple Macintosh computers running
OS 8.1+ with a native USB port. To get the most from your card reader, carefully read the
instructions found in this manual before use.
Features:
The SmartMedia reader is equipped with a standard USB cable and connector for
Universal Serial Bus, the most advanced and easy to configure computer interface for
peripherals. The reader allows you to access data on SmartMedia cards generated by
digital cameras and other digital devices utilizing SmartMedia memory cards.
SmartMedia cards are accessed through the card readers the same way as a floppy drive,
or removable media drive. Using Windows 98 the media is accessed using a drive letter
in "My Computer," and on a Macintosh computer the media appears as a mounted
volume on the desktop. The SmartMedia reader enables the user to quickly download
images to their computer without the need to connect the digital camera directly to the
computer.
Please Note:
Changes may be made to this product and/or manual without notification.
