Storing Image Files on a Computer
The following describes the procedure for storing image files stored in the built-in memory or on a CF memory card
onto a computer’s hard disc and for erasing the files from the computer’s hard disc.
• For image files stored in the built-in memory, connect the copyboard to the computer using the USB cable included
in the copyboard package.
• Image files stored on a CF memory card can be stored onto the computer’s hard disc using either a USB cable or
a commercially available PC card adapter or CF card reader/writer.
• Computer procedures described here are for reference purposes only, and differ according to the computer’s
operating system. For details, refer to the computer’s operating instructions or help files.
• Applicable operating systems: Microsoft Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP
Applicable computers: Computers with full IBM PC/AT compatibility on which one of the above operating systems
is installed and operating normally
Storing/Deleting Directly with USB Connections
(from built-in memory or CF memory card)
Connect the USB cable.
Use the included USB cable to connect the
copyboard’s USB connector to the computer’s
USB port.
Notice:
• Even if the POWER indicator is off, the com-
puter automatically recognizes the copyboard
when the USB cable is connected.
Note:
• When using Windows 98SE and connecting the copyboard and computer for the first time using USB
connections, be sure to install the dedicated Windows 98SE driver on the computer before connect-
ing. (page 37)
For Windows Me, 2000 and XP, the USB driver is installed automatically. (page 39)
• The built-in memory should be used to store the copyboard information only. Do not use it as tempo-
rary storage for computer data. When a large volume of data has been written, the process can take
several minutes until completion.
Formatting of the built-in memory of the copyboard from the personal computer is not possible. Also
note that formatting the CF memory in the NTFS format is not supported.
• When TIFF files made with the M-5 are opened with the Image Viewer of Windows 98SE and Me,
horizontal lines might appear.
In view of this, please use the supplied PLUS Image Viewer or other viewer software.
• To customers using Windows 2000
When file processing (deletion and file movement) of the built-in memory is performed with file Ex-
plorer or another utility, please wait more than 20 seconds before performing subsequent the copyboard
operations or disconnecting of the USB cable. (It can take 20 seconds or longer to complete the file
process in the built-in memory.)
• During memory storage with the copyboard, please do not disconnect the USB cable or access the
built-in memory. Doing so could result in the operation of the personal computer becoming unstable.
Please do not perform operations of the copyboard during access of the built-in memory from the
personal computer. Doing so could result in excessive time being taken for the response, or opera-
tion might not be possible.
