be improved by changing the conditions of the connection to the computer as follows,
so that the connection becomes high speed.
- Reconnect the USB cable.
- Connect the USB cable to the USB 2.0 port.
- Reinstall the driver.
- Change the USB cable to a cable supporting high speed transmissions.
- If a hub is used, change the hub to a model supporting high speed transmissions.
