Using A Serial Cable Connection; Connecting To A Windows-Based Computer - Kodak DC240 User Manual

Using a Serial Cable Connection

The most common means of connecting the camera to your computer is
by serial cable connection. When connecting the camera, it is a good idea
to use a Kodak-specified AC adapter (see page 5).

Connecting to a Windows-Based Computer

An RS-232 serial cable is provided so you can connect your camera to a
Windows-based computer.

1
Set the Mode dial to Connect.
2
Plug the appropriate end of the serial
cable into an available 9-pin serial port on
the computer.
Serial ports are usually labeled COM1
and COM2, or A and B. If your computer
has a 25-pin port, you need to use a 9-pin
adapter (available at your local computer
store) and attach it to the port before
attaching the serial cable to the computer.
If the ports are not labeled, see your
computer User's Guide for a diagram that
illustrates all of the external ports.

Open the serial/USB port door on the

Plug the other end of the serial cable into
the camera serial port.
5
Slide the POWER switch to the right to
turn on the camera.
If you get a message on your computer
stating that you are not connected, refer to
the Serial.PDF document installed with
the software, or the online help for
troubleshooting information.
