Connecting Picture Porter to your computer
1.
Connect Picture Porter to your computer using the included USB cable.
Note:
It is recommended that you use the AC adapter when Picture Porter is
connected to your computer. This will ensure a stable power supply and prevent data
corruption resulting from insufficient or unstable power from the computer USB
port.
2.
Turn on Picture Porter and wait for it to boot up.
3.
Picture Porter will display ‘Mass Storage Device’ and an USB icon at the bottom
of its screen to indicate that it is connected to your computer. While it is
connected to the computer, the buttons on Picture Porter will be disabled.
Once connected, your computer will automatically recognize* Picture Porter and
show five devices on your computer:
•
One hard drive (with device label ‘P_Porter’)
•
Four removable devices (corresponding to the supported memory card
formats)
You can access these five devices just as you would any other storage device on your
computer.
* For Windows 2000 (SP 2 and earlier), Windows 98/SE, and Mac OS 8.6, the device driver
from the Resource Disc must be installed for the computer to recognize and connect Picture
Porter. Refer to
Section 7 Driver Installation
for details.
Note
: Insert the memory card AFTER Picture Porter has been successfully connected
to the computer and all drives are properly mapped in order to ensure accurate drive
mapping.
