Camera Communications

Problem

Cause

Solution

The computer cannot 
communicate with the 
camera.

The camera is not set 
to PC Connect mode.

Set the camera to PC 
Connect mode. See 
page 30.

The camera is not 
connected to a serial 
cable, or the cable is 
not connected to a 
computer serial port.

Connect the serial 
cable to the camera 
and computer port. 
See page 30.

The port setting in the 
software is set to an 
incorrect COM port.

Change the COM port 
setting to Auto-Search 
or to a specific COM 
port. 

The communication 
speed setting in the 
software is not 
adjusted.

Set the speed setting to 
9,600 bps. If 
communication is 
successful, gradually 
raise the speed to 
optimize 
communication time.

There is a conflict 
with another serial 
device, such as 
infrared 
communication, 
internal fax modem, or 
other communication 
system.

Refer to the serial 
device and/or 
operating system 
User’s Guide, or 
consult the computer 
manufacturer.

The software that 
generates frequent 
interrupts (such as a 
Web browser or 
e-mail software) is 
running.

Exit that software 
before starting the 
KODAK Software.
