## Inserting memory cards

| Open the memory card slot cover.

| Insert a memory card as far as it can go into the appropriate slot.

|  | Note:

You can insert only one memory card at a time.

| Close the memory card slot cover.

Do not try to squeeze the memory card into the slot. Memory cards cannot be fully inserted into the card slots.

Incorrect loading of a memory card may damage this scanner, memory card, or both.

Keep the memory card slot cover closed while the memory card is loaded, which protects the memory card and the slot from dust and static; otherwise data on the memory card may be lost, or this scanner may be damaged.

Depending on the memory card loaded in this scanner, the static charge on the memory card may cause this scanner to malfunction.

|  | Note:

If the memory card is inserted incorrectly, the card access light does not go on.

Do not insert a card adapter without a card, or eject only the card from the card adapter. If you do so, the scanner cannot read the card properly.

To use a CompactFlash, Microdrive or xD-Picture card: Insert the card with its obverse side (where the mark is printed) facing the right. To use other card: Insert the cards with its groove part facing down.
