Using A Serial Cable Connection; Connecting To A Windows-Based Computer - Kodak DC5000 User Manual

Using a Serial Cable Connection

The traditional means of connecting the camera to your computer is by serial
cable. When connecting the camera, it is a good idea to use a KODAK-specified
AC adapter (see page 4) to conserve battery power.

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 side of
the camera.
4
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.
