Disconnecting The Cable With Windows - Minolta DiMAGE Scan Elite II Instruction Manual

Disconnecting the cable with Windows

With Windows 2000 or Me, always close the utility software before dis-
connecting the IEEE 1394 or USB cable while the computer and scanner
are on. Before unplugging the IEEE 1394 cable with Windows Me, com-
plete the "Unplug or eject hardware" operation by double-click on the of
"Unplug or eject hardware" icon on the task bar (see page 87).
CAUTION
• Never connect or disconnect the IEEE 1394 or USB cable while the computer, DiMAGE Scan
Elite II, or other devices are operating or transferring data.
• Do not connect or disconnect the cable while the computer is starting up or shutting down. The
computer or scanner may not operate properly.
• The scanner should be connected directly to the computer's IEEE 1394 or USB port. Attaching
the computer to an IEEE or USB hub may prevent the scanner from operating properly.
• An interval of at least five seconds is required between disconnecting and connecting the scan-
ner.
• When using an IEEE 1394 or USB storage device, it is not recommended to save scanned data
directly to the device. Save the data on the computer's hard disk before transferring the data to
the storage device.
• The unused port should always be covered with its protective cap. When the scanner is not in
use for extended periods, unplug the cable and reinsert the port cap.
