Tips

formats such as CMYK JPEG, progressive JPEG, motion JPEG, and JPEG 2000/JBIG are
incompatible. If you would like to view non-JPEG images (such as BMP, PICT, GIF, PNG,
EPS, or TIFF) on your FotoShow Image Center, you will need to use a computer to
convert them to a compatible JPEG format. For more information on converting JPEG
images on a computer, see
“JPEG Guidelines”
section on pg. 48.
Using the FotoShow
™
Image Center For Portable Downloads
Your FotoShow™ Digital Image Center does not always need to be connected to a
computer or TV to be used. You can use your FotoShow Image Center as a portable
device for downloading photos from your digital film when you are on the road. For best
results when using your FotoShow Image Center alone, Iomega recommends that you:
• Like video tapes and floppy disks, your Zip
®
disks and digital film are sensitive to
light and heat. Keep your FotoShow
™
Image Center and media out of heat and direct
sunlight. Do not use your FotoShow Image Center in temperatures over 100° F/39° C.
Never leave the FotoShow device or media on your car’s dashboard.
• Keep your FotoShow
™
Image Center on a level surface when possible.
• Protect your FotoShow
™
Image Center from shock and vibration.
• Keep your FotoShow
™
Image Center out of direct sunlight that can cause damage to
Zip
®
disks, digital film, or the FotoShow Image Center. Direct sunlight may also cause
your Zip disk to eject unexpectedly from the FotoShow Image Center.
• Since the FotoShow
™
Image Center is still active when the power light is off, it will
consume up to 4 Watts of electricity. When using your FotoShow Image Center with
the auto adapter, always remember to disconnect it when it is not in use.
Using the FotoShow
™
Image Center With Your Computer
For more information on using your FotoShow
™
Digital Image Center with your computer,
please view the Zip
®
Drive Manual on the Zip disk that came with this device. The Zip
Drive Manual is standard HTML and can be viewed with Internet Explorer 4.0 or Netscape
Navigator 4.5 on either a Macintosh
®
or Windows
®
PC.
NOTE:
The COPY button and all video and audio connectors are disabled when your
FotoShow
™
Image Center is connected to a computer that is powered on. The EJECT
button may be disabled by some computer operating systems (i.e., Mac
®
OS or Linux).
CAUTION!
Never connect your FotoShow
™
Image Center to a computer while you are
copying images from your digital film as this may result in an incomplete copy.
Connecting the FotoShow Image Center to a computer shuts down all of the Image
Center’s functionality, except for the Zip
®
drive, which may prevent your digital film from
being copied successfully.
