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 or seal.

  • 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 photos to it or delete photos from it. To update the information displayed, wait until the memory card light stops flashing, then eject and reload the memory card.

Inserting a Memory Card

Make sure the scanner is turned on.

Open the memory card slot cover.

Make sure the memory card light is off and no cards are in any of the slots. Then insert your card into the correct slot. For details, see Compatible Cards and Inserting Positions.

    The memory card light flashes and then stays on.

Close the memory card slot cover.


Caution:
  • Only load your memory card as shown in the table in Compatible Cards and Inserting Positions or you may damage your scanner, memory card, or both. If you insert a card incorrectly, you see an error message on your screen. Click Cancel, then remove the memory card and insert it correctly.

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

  • Always close the memory card slot cover to protect your memory card from static electricity. If you touch the inserted memory card, it may cause the scanner to malfunction.

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