Memory card copying precautions

Keep the following in mind when copying files between your memory card and computer:

  • Check the documentation that came with your memory card and any adapter you may be using for any handling guidelines.

  • Do not eject your memory card or turn off the scanner while the memory card light is flashing or you may lose data.

  • Make sure that your memory card is not write-protected. Many memory cards have a write-protect switch.

  • Do not copy files to a memory card while you are printing from the memory card.

  • The scanner display does not update information about your memory card after you copy files to it or delete files from it. To update the information displayed, wait until the memory card light stops flashing, then eject and reload the memory card.

  • When you are using EPSON File Manager to access photos on your memory card, do not remove the memory card until after you close File Manager.

  • Load only one memory card at a time. Eject your memory card before inserting another one.

  • If a digital camera is connected to the scanner, disconnect it before you insert your memory card.

  • Make sure you check which direction the card should be inserted, and if the card needs an adapter make sure you attach the adapter before inserting the card. Otherwise, you may not be able to remove the card from the product.
