Mounting the Card Slot as the Network Drive
The card slot must be mounted to use it over a network.
To mount the card slot as the network drive, follow the procedure below.
1. Insert a memory card into the card slot of the machine.
2. Check the current printer name.
You can check the current printer name on the LCD of the printer.
3. On Finder, click the Go menu and Connect to Server.
4. Input "smb://xxxxxxxxxxxx/canon_memory/", then click Connect.
For example, if the current printer name is "123ABC000000", then input "smb://123ABC000000/
canon_memory/".
5. Make sure that the card slot is mounted.
When the card slot is mounted, the following icon appears on the desktop. (If you are using Mac
OS X v.10.6.8, the icon appears in the Computer window on the Go menu of Finder.)
Note
The authentication screen may appear. If it appears, you do not need to input the
password.
If you cannot mount the card slot with the method above, input the IP address of the
machine instead of the current printer name, and try again. For example, "smb://
192.168.1.1/canon_memory/". If you mount the card slot with the IP address, you have to
remount it whenever the machine's IP address changes.
Restrictions on Card Slot Use over a Network
• You cannot write data to a memory card in the card slot over a network. You can only read data
from a memory card.
• The card slot can be shared by multiple computers, if the machine is connected to a network.
Multiple computers can read files from a memory card in the card slot at the same time.
• If your computer joins a domain, the card slot may not be mounted as the network drive.
• If you use the memory card stored the large size files or many files, a large amount of card
access may be generated. In this case, the operation in the memory card may be impossible or
slow. Operate after the Access lamp of the machine is lit.
• When you access the network drive for the card slot over the network, file names consisting of
eight or less lowercase letters (not including its extension) may be shown in uppercase.
