On a Macintosh, always drag the memory card icon on the desktop into the trash to eject the card before you turn off the scanner or unplug the USB cable. Otherwise, you may lose data from the memory card.
Make sure the memory card access light is not flashing.
Pull the memory card out of its slot.
Caution:
Do not remove a memory card when the memory card access light is flashing or you may lose data from the memory card.
