Error Messages and Troubleshooting

This section lists some common error messages and operational problems that might be encountered when using the CameraConnect Pro and offers suggestions for their correction. If you have difficulties when trying to share the printer port with several external devices, it is suggested that you obtain a separate parallel port card for some of your devices. Generally, two external parallel port peripherals can share the same port with little difficulty but if there are three, four, or five external devices on one printer port, problems are much more likely. The only solution in this case is to remove as many devices as possible and move them to a separate printer port.

Some Common Error Messages

The above error message is likely to be issued when the card placed in the Camera- Connect Pro is not recognized. This message can also be seen when there is no card in the CameraConnect Pro. Likely causes are: The card is not formatted, has no CIS (Card Information Structure), or the card is not an ATA Flash Card (the Camera- Connect Pro will only operate with ATA Flash, Compact Flash, or SmartMedia de- vices).

The message shown above is issued by Windows NT 4.0 when a SmartMedia device is removed from the CameraConnect Pro after the copy process appeared to end. The ‘busy’ light had stopped flashing and the copy process looked to be finished. How- ever, Windows NT had not finished writing to the device. When using Windows NT 4.0, wait 10 seconds after the ‘busy’ light stops flashing before removing a device from the CameraConnect Pro.
