Connecting to Other Devices
If connection to your computer is
unsuccessful...
Normally, you don't need to install a driver in order to connect
the HP207 to your computer. However, if some problem
occurs, or if the performance is poor, using the Roland
original driver may solve the problem.
For details on downloading and installing the Roland original
driver, refer to the Roland website.

driver. For details, refer to "Changing the USB Driver Settings
