USB
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a relatively new method for your camera to
communicate with the PC. A USB connection is faster than an RS-232 serial
connection increasing the maximum data transfer rate to 12 Mb/sec.
USB requires special computer hardware and software features including a USB
enabled motherboard, USB connections, and a version of WINDOWS 95 (called
Win95B or OSR2). Most computers manufactured prior to January 1997 do not
meet these requirements, but most computers manufactured since then often meet
these requirements.
☞ USB is not currently supported in the WINDOWS NT 4.0 environment.
This method should only be used by the advanced computer user.
To determine if your computer supports a USB connection:
1 Verify that a USB connector is present.
This connector is normally on the back of the computer.
2 Click the right mouse button on the My Computer icon on your computer’s
desktop.
3 Click on Properties in the pop-up menu.
4 Verify the operating system is 4.00.950b or greater.
5 Click the Device Manager tab.
6 Verify that the Universal Serial Bus Controller is present, without any yellow

7 Click on Universal Serial Bus Controller.
8 Verify that a controller and USB Root hub are listed.
