USB Guidelines
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is an interface designed to make it easy to connect mice,
keyboards, joysticks, printers, and other devices to your computer. Because of its ease of
use, USB has become a means for connecting high speed storage devices, such as the
FotoShow
™ Zip ® 250 drive.
CAUTION! Windows NT ® 4.0 users—Always turn off the computer to connect or disconnect
the Zip ® 250 ™ drive.
Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal and reliable performance of your Zip ® USB
drive and other USB devices.
You can...
• You can use your Zip ® USB drive on either a Mac ® with built-in USB running Mac OS
8.6, or 9, or on a Windows ® PC with built-in USB running Windows 95, Windows 98,
Windows Me, Windows NT ® 4.0, or Windows 2000. (Some USB controllers or
motherboards may not support all types of USB devices.) If you are using Windows
95 or NT 4.0, see “Special Notes for Windows 95 and NT 4.0 Users” on page 67.
• You can connect or disconnect your USB device while your computer is on if you are
using a Mac ® , Windows ® 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, or Windows 2000.
• You can optimize your Zip ® USB drive’s performance by disconnecting other USB
devices when using your Zip drive. The performance of all USB devices decreases as
additional USB devices are connected.
• You can ensure maximum performance by connecting your Zip ® drive directly to one
of the USB connections on your computer instead of a USB hub or keyboard.
• You can improve the reliability of your Zip ® USB drive by unplugging and reconnecting
the power supply after a system crash or hang.
• You can avoid some system lockups by waiting at least 30 seconds after connecting
or disconnecting any USB device. (This allows the system to re-enumerate the USB
bus.) Do not connect, disconnect or use any other USB device during this time.
