Making the Camera Settings

Normally, when the camera is connected to a PC, you can immediately access the camera using the Web browser or the PC. This is because various general settings have been made for the factory default settings.

However, depending on the PC or LAN used, operation may not proceed smoothly with the settings as they are.

In this case, refer to the appendix “Camera Settings When Connected to a PC” (p.156) and change the settings to suit the PC or LAN used. (As a certain amount of knowledge about the LAN is required, you are recommended to consult the person in charge of the network before making any changes.)

COM Port Settings for Windows 98/ME

The USB driver for Windows treats the camera as equipment that uses the COM port virtually.

For Windows 98/Me, if the COM port conflicts with other equipment, the camera may fail to be detected even when the driver has been correctly installed.

In this case, change the COM port used by the following procedure.

A Connect the camera to the PC using the USB cable and turn the camera on.

B Start the device manager.

Select [Settings] → [Control Panel] from the [Start] button. Double click on the [System] icon in the window that opens. Select the [Device Manager] tab from the [System Properties] dialog box, and open [Ports (COM/LPT)] from the list.

C Set [RICOH Camera Port] of [Ports (COM/LPT)] and click on [Properties].

D Change to another COM number (COM 5 - 9) at the [Port Select] screen.

An [*] will be attached to the port that is used by the camera.
