Understanding
What’s a USB port?
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) port is an easy way to connect a new device like the
ImageMate USB 2.0 Reader/Writer to your computer. Connecting a device to the USB
port doesn’t require that you open your computer to install an add-in card or set
complicated switches. You just plug it in and get started.
How do I find the USB port?
The USB ports are often located on the front or back of your PC, or on a USB hub. On a
laptop computer or a Macintosh, the USB port may be located on the side. The USB port
looks like this.
What is the difference between Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and Full Speed USB 1.1?
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 supports the transfer of data up to 480 megabits per second (Mbps),
and Full Speed USB 1.1 supports data transfer up to 12 Mbps. Hi-Speed USB 2.0
provides a dramatic improvement in data transfer performance compared to Full Speed
USB 1.1. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1 ports. The ImageMate USB 2.0
Reader/Writer supports both USB 2.0 and USB 1.1.
