Determining what your computer supports

Checking for USB support

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a relatively new method for your camera to
communicate with the PC. A USB connection is faster than an RS-232 serial
connection, increasing the maximum data transfer rate to 12 Mb/sec.

USB requires special computer hardware and software features, including a USB
enabled motherboard, USB connections, and WINDOWS 98. Most computers
manufactured prior to January 1997 do not meet these requirements.

To determine if your computer supports a USB connection:

1

Verify that a USB connector is present.

This connector is normally on the back of the computer.

2

Right-click the My Computer icon.

3

Click on Properties in the pop-up menu.

4

Verify the operating system is WINDOWS 98.

5

Click the Device Manager tab.

6

Verify that the Universal Serial Bus Controller is present without any yellow
or red indicators.

7

Click on Universal Serial Bus Controller.

8

Verify that a controller and USB Root hub are listed.

9

Double-click on USB Root hub.

10

Verify that device status is “The device is working properly.”

If all of the above conditions are met, your computer supports a USB
connection.
