SZM-D - OPERATION MANUAL
check if the Driver was installed correctly (no Windows error messages should appear).
Should any error message appear on your PC, you will find a "\Troubleshooting" folder on your CD
which shows how to solve any problem which Windows could give.
2.0 SOME NOTES
You should know that your Windows PC needs to install a Driver before capturing images from the
camera: after installing the driver from the CD, Windows needs to recognize the camera before using it.
Often a PC has some ports on the front and some on the back: the ports on the back are usually
faster. We suggest to use these ones.
All our cameras, even though they may have an external connection, do not need any external power
supply because it comes from the USB cable of your PC.
If you connect the camera into another USB port, Windows needs to recognize its Driver again even if
it has alredy done this operation for the first USB port.
Generally, every time you use a peripheral device and after that you connect your Camera, then Win-
dows needs to recognize the Driver again.
It may happen sometimes that Windows doesn't recognize a Camera using one of your PC USB
ports, while gives no problem using another port.
To prevent any installation problem we have put on the CD all the software and drivers in specific fold-
ers with an appropriate names.
