Mounting the Card Slot as the Network Drive
Restrictions on Card Slot Use over a Network
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.
Insert a memory card into the card slot of the machine.
Check the current printer name.
You can check the current printer name on the LCD of the printer.
On Finder, click the Go menu and Connect to Server.
Input "smb://xxxxxxxxxxxx/canon_memory/", then click Connect.
For example, if the current printer name is "123ABC000000", then input "smb://123ABC000000/canon_memory/".
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.)
NoteThe 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.
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.
For example, a file name such as "abcdefg.doc" will be "ABCDEFG.DOC", while a name such as "AbcdeFG.doc" will appear the same.
The file is not actually renamed, but merely appears to be changed.
Disable the function to write files to a memory card from a computer to read files from a memory card over a network.
