Connecting to a Windows-Based Computer

An RS-232 serial cable is provided so you can connect your camera to a
Windows-based computer. When connecting the camera, it is a good idea
to use a Kodak-specified AC adapter. For details about available
accessories, ask a dealer of Kodak products, or from our Website at
http://www.kodak.com/go/accessories.

1

Set the Slider switch to Connect.

2

Plug the appropriate end of the serial
cable into an available 9-pin serial port on
the computer.

Serial ports are usually labeled COM1
and COM2, or A and B. If your computer
has a 25-pin port, you need to use a 9-pin
adapter (available at your local computer
store) and attach it to the port before
attaching the serial cable to the computer.

If the ports are not labeled, see your
computer User’s Guide for a diagram that
illustrates all of the external ports.

3

Open the serial port door on the side of
the camera.

4

Plug the other end of the serial cable into
the camera serial port.

5

Turn on the camera.

If you get a message on your computer
stating that you are not connected, refer to
the Serial.PDF document installed with
the software, or the online help for
troubleshooting information.
