MemoryFrame User’s Manual

8.Connecting a USB Card-Reader to MemoryFrame

If you have a Camera that is not compliant with the USB Mass Storage specification, you can still bypass your PC by using MemoryFrame directly with USB memory-card readers that support the USB Mass Storage Specification (see Chapter 12).

Important! To transfer slideshows from the Memory Card Reader directly to your MemoryFrame, you first need to prepare your MemoryFrame for communicating, as described in the section below.

Preparing MemoryFrame to Communicate with Card-Readers

The MemoryFrame is a single function device; this means that it cannot be managed or communicate with a card reader while it is displaying a slide show. In all cases, you must stop the slideshow by pressing the Menu Button. This will place the MemoryFrame in the Menu System mode that is required to communicate with the USB memory-card- reader.

Important! Make sure that the memory-card is already inserted into the card reader before connecting the USB cable to the MemoryFrame.

Next, connect the MemoryFrame directly to the USB memory-card reader using the USB cable that was provided by the card-reader manufacturer (i.e. the cable that came with your reader).

To do this with a USB memory-card reader, connect the USB connector of the card-reader’s USB cable to the “Camera” connector of the MemoryFrame. See Figure 15.
