Restrictions on Card Slot Use over a Network
The Card Slot can be shared by multiple computers, if the machine is connected
to a network. Multiple computers can read files from a memory card in the Card
Slot at the same time. However, while one computer is writing a file into a
memory card, other computers cannot access the same file.
If your computer joins a domain, the Card Slot may not be mounted as the
network drive.
If you use the memory card stored the large size files or many files, a large
amount of card access may be generated. In this case, the operation in the
memory card may be impossible or slow. Operate after the
Access lamp of the
machine is lit.
When you access the network drive for the Card Slot over the network, file
names consisting of eight or less lowercase letters (not including its extension)
may be shown in uppercase.
For example, a file name such as "abcdefg.doc" will be "ABCDEFG.DOC", while
a name such as "AbcdeFG.doc" will appear the same.
The file is not actually renamed, but merely appears to be changed.
When the Read/write attribute setting of the machine is set to Writable from USB
PC, you cannot access the network drive of the Card Slot. On the other hand,
when this setting is set to Writable from LAN PC, the Card slot is not detected via
USB. Make sure that the Read/write attribute setting is set properly depending
on your connection type. Select Not writable from PC to read files from a
memory card via USB and over a network, although you cannot write files to a
memory card in either way with this setting.
For details on how to change the machine setting, refer to
Changing the
Machine Settings on the LCD .
When the Read/write attribute setting of the machine is set to Writable from LAN
PC, you can write files to a memory card from a computer connected to a
network. Note that it may increase the risk that the data on the memory card is
infected by computer viruses or accessed illegally.
It is recommended to use the access control function of the machine or connect
