Connecting the camera to your computer
You can connect your PhotoPC 3100Z to a Windows
or Macintosh computer using the included USB cable.
Before connecting your camera, make sure that the
USB driver is installed in your computer (except for
Windows 2000 and Macintosh OS 9). For installation
instructions, see “Installing the Software for Windows
Users” on page 5-3 or “Installing the Software for
Macintosh Users” on page 5-5.
Note:
❏
Make sure the camera’s batteries have enough power
before connecting the camera to your computer. If the
PhotoPC 3100Z turns off automatically while
connected because of low battery power, your computer
may function improperly. EPSON highly recommends
using the optional AC adapter whenever you connect
the camera to your computer.
❏ When the camera is connected to the computer, you
cannot use the buttons on the camera, and the camera’s
automatic power save feature is disabled.
❏ Although you can connect the USB cable at any time,
EPSON recommends connecting it in the manner
described below to secure the connection.
❏ If the EPSON software does not recognize the camera
when it is connected, see the Troubleshooting chapter
in the online EPSON Digital Camera Software User’s
Guide included on your CD-ROM.
To connect the camera, follow the steps below.
1. Turn on your computer.
2. Plug the cable connector into the USB port on your
computer or USB hub.

Caution:
