Chapter 17 : Connecting the MPC2500 to your computer
The MPC2500 supports the USB mass storage class. When you connect the MPC2500 to a PC that supports USB mass storage
class, the PC will recognize the memory card (the Internal Hard Disk (option)) in the MPC2500 as a removable media drive.
You can transfer the data between the recognized memory card /the Internal Hard Disk (optional) and the PC.
You can save the data on the memory card /the Internal Hard Disk (optional) to the PC, or you can load the data from the PC
to the memory card /the Internal Hard Disk (optional) .
You need Windows 2000/Me/XP or later version, or MacOS 9.x/10.x or later version.
Note : The computer cannot recognize the MPC2500's internal memory directly. To save the data in the internal memory to the computer, you
need to save the data to the memory card first / the Internal Hard Disk (optional). Also, the data from the computer will be saved to the memory
card / the Internal Hard Disk (optional). To use the data in the MPC2500, load the data from the memory card / the Internal Hard Disk (optional).
