Connecting the Device to a PC

1. 

Open “MCR for Windows” from the Start Screen or Start Menu.

2. 

Connect the device with the supplied USB cable to your computer.  
The USB driver installation will start automatically.

IMPORTANT

 

- Make sure to install the supplied software “MCR for Windows” before connecting the 

MCR-4TC to the computer.

 

- The USB device driver must be installed before trying to carry out USB communication. 

After installing the USB device driver, your computer will be able to detect and 
recognize any MCR-4TC unit that is connected with a USB communication cable.

 

- When connecting a MCR-4TC to a PC, connect only one unit at a time. If you connect 

multiple units at the same time, they may not be recognized properly.

USB Communication Cable 

(US-15C)

IMPORTANT

For the installation procedure of the software “MCR for Windows”, see p.44.

When the USB driver installation completes, on the upper right corner 
of the software screen, you will see an icon showing the PC and 
MCR-4TC connected via USB.

IMPORTANT

If you don't see this icon, the USB driver may not have been installed correctly. Please 
see [Help for Unit Recognition Failure] in the Help menu, and check the USB driver.
