Click the Test Connection button. If you see the
camera information as shown on the previous page,
the camera connection is complete. If you see an error
message, you may need to change your port and speed
settings.

Adjusting Port Settings

You can manually change the port or communication
speed if EPSON Photo! is unable to detect the camera or
download photos. Follow these steps:
1
Open the Setup screen as described on page 3-4.
2
Click the arrow to change the port setting. You can
choose Auto, COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4.
NOTE
In most cases, it is best to leave the Port setting on Auto
because EPSON Photo! can detect the location of the camera
automatically. When you change the port setting, you lose the
connection between the camera and your computer.
3-6 Connecting to Your Computer
If possible, you should keep the camera connected to
the COM1 or COM2 port on the computer.
If you have a serial device connected to one port and
an internal modem on the other, you can try COM3 or
COM4. If you get an error message, see page 12-3 for
more information.
3
Click the arrow to change the speed setting.
NOTE
EPSON Photo! automatically chooses the fastest speed that
works with your operating system. This may actually be too
fast for the configuration of your port. If you get an error
message while trying to download photos, you may need to
choose a slower speed. For more information see page 12-4.
