Using a memory card reader

If you are using a memory card in your camera, you can simply remove it from the camera and put it in a memory card reader (purchased separately). The memory card reader acts just like a floppy disk drive or CD-ROM drive. In addition, some computers and HP Photosmart printers have memory card slots built into them, and you can use these memory card slots as you would use a regular memory card reader to save images to the computer.

Transferring images to a Windows computer using a memory card reader

1.Remove the memory card from your camera and insert it into the memory card reader (or the memory card slot in your computer or printer).

2.Right-click on the My Computer icon on your desktop, then select Explore from the menu.

3.A screen appears that shows a list of disk drives under My Computer. The memory card shows up as a removable disk drive. Click on the + sign just to the left of the removable disk.

4.Two directories (folders) appear under the removable disk. Click on the + sign next to the folder called DCIM, and a subdirectory for your camera should appear. When you click on the subdirectory under DCIM, the list of your images should appear on the right side of the Explorer screen.

NOTE: You may have more than one folder in your DCIM directory. If you cannot locate the images, check all the folders in the DCIM directory.
