via an external USB hub.
•Depending on the computer and the status of its
operating system, the reader/writer may not

refer to the “Troubleshooting” section. (Page17)
•After disconnecting the USB cable, wait at least
5 seconds before reconnecting it. (Otherwise, the

one computer, the reader/writer is not guaranteed
to operate simultaneously with some types of
USB device.
•You cannot access two or more memory cards
simultaneously on a single computer by
connecting additional memory card devices.
Remove any memory cards from the reader/
writer or turn off the other devices.

message may appear, indicating that a hi-
