USB

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a relatively new method for your camera to
communicate with the PC. A USB connection is faster than an RS-232 serial
connection increasing the maximum data transfer rate to 12 Mb/sec.

USB requires special computer hardware and software features including a USB
enabled motherboard, USB connections, and a version of WINDOWS 95 (called
Win95B or OSR2). Most computers manufactured prior to January 1997 do not
meet these requirements, but most computers manufactured since then often meet
these requirements.

USB is not currently supported in the WINDOWS NT 4.0 environment.

This method should only be used by the advanced computer user.

To determine if your computer supports a USB connection:

1

This connector is normally on the back of the computer.

2

Click the right mouse button on the My Computer icon on your computer’s
desktop.

3

Click on Properties in the pop-up menu.

4

Verify the operating system is 4.00.950b or greater.

5

Click the Device Manager tab.

6

7

Click on Universal Serial Bus Controller.

8

9

Double-click on USB Root hub.

10
