Vivitar ViviCam 2750 user manual

2.Install the application software. Insert the CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. From Windows 95/98 select Start, Run, type d:\setup, Enter (or OK). (If your CD drive is identified by a drive letter other than d:, use that letter in place of the d) Follow the screen instructions to complete the installation.

Hardware/Physical Installation -

1.If you plan to connect to your PC by serial connection, plug the included serial data cable into an available 9 pin COM port on the back of your PC. These ports are located at the back of your computer. Look for a connector that is D- shaped, has two rows of (male) pins, with a total of nine pins. Most desktop computers have two COM ports, whereas most notebook computers have one COM connector. While most desktops have two serial ports, many times your mouse, or possibly an external modem will occupy one of them. It is further possible that your computer may have a 25 pin male serial connector. If this is the case, you may purchase a 25F to 9M at a local electronics or computer store.

Note: Do not purchase a “null modem” to use as a 25 to 9 adapter.

2.Open the data port door on your ViviCam 2750, and connect the molded-green stereo mini-jack plug into the camera. Plug it into the port marked “digital”.

Now that your driver, application, and cables are installed, the final step is to make the camera-to-PC connection.

1.Turn on your camera.

2.Launch (Start) your image editing application software. (Start, Programs, MGI…)

3.After your application is up and running, perform the following steps. (In the following case MGI PhotoSuite SE is used as an example. Other Twain programs are similar but not exactly the same.)
