The one exception is Windows NT 4.0, because it does not support the USB interface. A Windows NT 4.0 computer must have either an HP P1000/1100 or similar printer, or a memory card reader connected to its serial or parallel interface. You can then transfer images from the camera’s memory card to the computer via either the memory card slot in the HP printer, or the memory card reader.

The following three subsections explain how to transfer images to a computer depending on the PC Connect Mode setting on the camera and/or the operating system that is running on the computer:

ŠTo use the Digita Device setting to transfer images from your camera to a Windows Me, 98, or 2000 computer, see the first subsection below.

ŠTo use the USB Disk Drive setting to transfer images from your camera to either a Macintosh® computer running Mac OS 8.6 or better, or a Windows Me, 98, or 2000 computer, see the subsection on page 41.

ŠTo transfer images from the memory card to a Windows NT 4.0 computer, see the subsection on page 43.

Transferring Images Using the Digita Device Setting

If your computer is running Windows Me, 98, or 2000, you can transfer images from your camera to the computer by using the default Digita Device setting in the PC Connect Mode submenu. If your camera is running:

ŠWindows Me, you can then use the Microsoft® Scanner and Camera Wizard that is included on your Windows Me system to transfer the images from the camera to your computer.

ŠWindows 98 or 2000, you can then use the HP Photo Imaging Software that came with your camera to transfer the images from the camera to your computer.

To transfer images to your Windows Me, 98, or 2000 computer, do the following:

1Power off the camera if it is still on.

2Power on the computer if you haven’t already.

3Connect the rectangular end of the USB cable to the USB port on the front or back exterior of your computer (see Figure 22).
