KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE™ DC220/DC260 Zoom Camera
RS-232 Serial

Although not fast (maximum data transfer rate of 115 kb/sec), an RS-232 serial connection is supported by the vast majority of PC computers. The serial port option is available on both the WINDOWS 95 and WINDOWS NT 4.0 Operating Systems.

RS-232 connectors are the standard ports located on the back of the PC. They are usually labeled A and B. The typical computer user should use this method of communicating with the camera.

To determine if your computer supports an RS-232 connection:

1. Click the right mouse button on the My Computer icon on your computer's desktop.
2. Click on Properties in the pop-up menu.
3. Click the Device Manager tab.
4. Double-click on the Ports device in the displayed list.
5. Verify that there is at least one Communication Port.

   If at least one Communications Port is present, your computer supports an RS-232 Serial connection.

Connecting via a serial cable

The camera can connect to a computer using the serial cable included in your camera package.

To connect to your computer with a serial cable:

1. Plug one end of the serial cable into a COM port on the back of your PC.

   

   Note: If your computer has a 25-pin port, you need to use a 9-pin adapter and attach it to the port before attaching the serial cable to the computer.

2. Open the serial port on the side of your camera.
3. Plug the other end of the serial cable into the camera's serial port.

   

4. Turn on the camera.
