First time CompactFlash card use on Windows
When a CompactFlash card is first installed under Windows, an ADD NEW HARDWARE
Wizard will appear. In most cases, the software will be loaded automatically. Otherwise,
it will be necessary to select a driver during the hardware setup. The correct driver to
select is - Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk controller.
Basic Operation
To avoid possible picture loss, it is recommended that you transfer picture files to
your computer hard drive before accessing or editing them.
Using transfer software supplied with your camera is not recommended for use with
the reader, as most of these programs are designed specifically for your camera.
Making changes to, or re-naming a file on the card may make the file unrecog-
nizable to the camera if the card is put back in the camera for viewing.
The Reader-20 does not make any changes to the card or files while the files are
being accessed or transferred. Files are copied or moved exactly as they are read
by the reader.
In order to view picture files, such as JPEG or TIFF formats, you will need a software
program (not included) that can view or edit these files. Most operating systems
include software that can view pictures. Some brands and models of digital camera
use proprietary formats for storing picture files and will require additional software to
view the pictures. Refer to your device manual for more information.
When transferring files to a common location on your computer, it is recommended
that you re-name the files to avoid overwriting previous pictures. Most cameras
number the picture files and begin at 001 when a blank card is inserted, which can
result in two or more files having the same name, prompting you to overwrite.
Accessing Files
The Reader-20 will appear as four Removable Disk drive icons in My Computer. The
driver CD contains a custom icon program that, if installed, will provide an icon identifying
the media type for each slot. All card slots can be used concurrently to transfer files from
card to computer or from card to card.
To copy files from your card to your hard drive or vice versa:
1. Double click the appropriate Removable Disk icon in My Computer.
2. Simply drag and drop folders or individual files to a desired location.
Once the files are safely copied to your computer, the files on the card can be deleted to
clear the card for more pictures.
Removing a Card
To prevent errors, close any open files residing on the card.
DO NOT remove the card while files are being accessed or transferred. This could
result in loss of data and/or damage to the card. Use the Eject command from the
file menu before removing the card. The red Access light will blink during card
access or file transfer.
To remove a card, simply pull it from the reader.
