Windows-based control software (IP Link File Manager) or via the MGP Pro web pages

Busy!!!

The time the MGP Pro

takes to save an image varies depending on the image file size. For example, a
1024x768 pixel image takes about 150 seconds to save. A very large image combined
with a high output resolution could take as long as 5 minutes.
After 20 seconds, the MGP Pro displays the default cycle, but the Menu and Next
buttons continue to blink until the image capture is complete.

NOTE: The unit continues to respond to commands while it is saving an image

However, the response time is longer. Attempting to save or recall another
background image during this process is not recommended.

If you want to recall a background file for the output display, press Next within
