(See section 4. 3. 5) 35 Chapter 6 ­ Serial Connection using the Twain Driver 6. 1 Summary of Camera-to-PC Connectivity: Options There are three methods by which you may move images from your V2800 camera to your PC. The following discussion is intended to sort out some of the confusion in selecting which method is best and easiest for you. This balance of this chapter focuses upon the first method ­ Serial data connection using the Twain driver. Serial Connection ­ Connecting a digital camera to a PC using a serial data connection was the first method used by digital camera manufacturers to download images to a PC. It remains the most commonly used method. It can also be the most frustrating aspect of owning a digital camera. Connecting a digital camera to a PC using a serial data connection is perhaps the most challenging (sometimes-frustrating) aspects of consumer digital imaging today and is a leading cause of product returns. Note: If your camera and PC will not connect then your serial ports must be examined. You can inspect your computers ports using the device Manager Tab of the Windows (Start, Settings, Control Panel, System, Device Manager. ) For assistance in enabling or setting your ports, consult your PC system manual or manufacturer. In some cases, changes may need to be made to your System BIOS. Please consult a knowledgeable PC expert before attempting any such changes or modifications. Note: Serial data connections are sometimes referred to as RS-232. Serial ports are often called COM ports in your system BIOS and operating system. Why serial connections?Serial connections were (and continue to be) used simply because virtually every PC in the world has a least one, and often, two serial ports. Whether or not these serial ports are working, enabled, and free (from other devices) is where problems arise. If your serial ports are working and free then you will most likely have no problems. The advantage to serial connectivity is that there is no added cost or need for any elaborate accessories, other than perhaps a simple adapter. Serial connections are disadvantaged by interruptions, often by other software (TSRs, communications programs, etc. ) or even by electronic noise. Under all circumstances, serial connections are relatively slow, being limited in data transfer rate. [. . . ] · Check the camera for basic operations. · Can you take a picture, and review it on the LCD display?If the camera operates, captures images, and displays images on the LCD, the camera is functioning correctly. If you cannot get your camera and PC to connect, please consult your PC manufacturer, or consult a local PC technician and have your serial or USB ports checked. [. . . ]
