The Reader Status and Setting block shows the CameraConnect Pro’s current opera-
tional mode, as well as indicating if a card is present or the sockets are empty. The
parallel port modes displayed are SPP (standard), PS/2 (simple bidirectional), EPP
(enhanced parallel port), and ECP (extended capabilities port). The PS/2 listing will
be shown by a system with a bidirectional printer port configured in standard mode.
SPP mode is a standard unidirectional printer port. EPP and ECP are the two other
modes for parallel ports.

EPP mode is the preferred setting for the CameraConnect Pro. Your printer port
mode can be configured through your system BIOS setup utility. See your computer
system user’s manual for information on setting your printer port mode through the
system BIOS setup.

Note:

Setting your printer port to EPP or ECC/EPP mode will also facilitate the
best transfer speeds in most cases.

The Card Information block will show the type of card inserted (SmartMedia or
ATA Flash/CF), its size in Megabytes, and if write protection is enabled. The card
you have may not offer this feature and the Card Write protection area will always
show “No.”

Remember that the utility screen will not automatically update when you insert or
remove a card from one of the CameraConnect Pro’s slots. If you insert or remove a
card, be sure to click on the Refresh button to update the screen.
