The Reader Status and Setting block shows the CameraConnect Pro’s current opera- tional mode, as well as indicating if a card is present or the sockets are empty. The parallel port modes displayed are SPP (standard), PS/2 (simple bidirectional), EPP (enhanced parallel port), and ECP (extended capabilities port). The PS/2 listing will be shown by a system with a bidirectional printer port configured in standard mode. SPP mode is a standard unidirectional printer port. EPP and ECP are the two other modes for parallel ports.
EPP mode is the preferred setting for the CameraConnect Pro. Your printer port mode can be configured through your system BIOS setup utility. See your computer system user’s manual for information on setting your printer port mode through the system BIOS setup.
Note: Setting your printer port to EPP or ECC/EPP mode will also facilitate the best transfer speeds in most cases.
The Card Information block will show the type of card inserted (SmartMedia or ATA Flash/CF), its size in Megabytes, and if write protection is enabled. The card you have may not offer this feature and the Card Write protection area will always show “No.”
Remember that the utility screen will not automatically update when you insert or remove a card from one of the CameraConnect Pro’s slots. If you insert or remove a card, be sure to click on the Refresh button to update the screen.
