Connecting the Reader/Writer to a Computer

Simply connect the reader/writer to a computer using the supplied USB cable.

1Start the computer.

2Connect the smaller connector of the USB cable to the USB port on the rear of the reader/writer.

3Connect the larger connector of the USB cable to the USB port on the computer.

The computer recognizes the reader/ writer as a removable disk, and the reader/writer is ready for use.

Notes

•Do not connect to the USB port on the computer via an external USB hub.

•Depending on the computer and the status of its operating system, the reader/writer may not operate or may become unstable. If this occurs, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section. (Page 17)

•After disconnecting the USB cable, wait at least 5 seconds before reconnecting it. (Otherwise, the reader/writer may not be recognized.)

•When two or more USB devices are connected to one computer, the reader/writer is not guaranteed to operate simultaneously with some types of USB device.

•You cannot access two or more memory cards simultaneously on a single computer by connecting additional memory card devices. Remove any memory cards from the reader/ writer or turn off the other devices.

Notes for Windows

•On some computers, a message may appear asking you to insert the operating system disc. When this happens, follow the computer’s instructions.

•On some computers, the USB Mass Storage will function at reduced speed message may appear, indicating that a hi- speed USB device has been connected to a USB port which does not support hi-speed USB. If your computer has multiple USB ports, try connecting to a different port. Otherwise, close the message and continue using the reader/writer with the current port.
