Connecting Methods
The camera can be connected to the PC by one of the following methods.
Decide which method you will use. (Connect the camera after the software has
been installed.)
■ Connecting the Camera Directly to the PC
This method is for connecting the camera and the PC on a one-to-one basis.
● By USB Cable
If the PC has a USB port, you can connect the camera to the PC easily using
the USB cable supplied with the camera.
● By Serial Cable
If the PC has no USB port, connect the camera to the PC using the serial cable.
Important
Note
• If you use the serial cable to connect the camera to the PC, the data
will take longer to transmit than when connected by the USB cable or
LAN. If possible, you are therefore recommended to use the USB
cable or LAN.
Note
• The serial cable used for the serial connection is a special cable for
this camera. To obtain this cable (and the conversion cable for the
Macintosh serial port), inquire at your nearest dealer.
