First Things First
Loading Images on a Computer
Images stored in your camera can be uploaded to your
computer by using the supplied RS-232C digital
connector and graphic-editing software. Load the CD
ROM’s software and the TWAIN driver from the 3.5”
floppy disk(s) following all directions. Once the
software is installed properly, the computer can send
and receive information to the digital camera.
To upload images to your computer:
1. Turn the power of the camera and
the computer off.
2. Plug one end of the serial cable
into the COM port of the computer
(Macintosh users need to use the
supplied serial cable and plug into
an ADB port.
3. Lift the connector cover of the
camera.
4. Plug the other end of the serial cable into the
camera’s DIGITAL port.
5. Turn on the camera and computer, then launch
the graphic-editing software. Once the proper
TWAIN driver has been selected, images can be
transferred to and from the camera and computer.
• For more information about selecting the proper
TWAIN driver, see Working with Images in this
manual.
• Computer baud rate can be set to 9600, 19200,
38400, 57600, or 115200.
• The camera turns off after no communication with
the computer for approximately thirty minutes with
the AC adapter and two minutes with batteries (see
Auto Power-Off). To turn the camera on again, press
the POWER button.
