Iomega FotoShow Digital Image Center - Manual (Page 17)

9.When the data transfer is complete the Copy will glow green if the transfer was
successful, red if there was a disk or drive error, or flash red if your disk is full.
This copy may take a few moments. Your FotoShow
™ Image Center is not only
copying your digital film, but also preparing your photos to be viewed on the TV.
CAUTION! Your FotoShow ™ Image Center is compatible with 3.3v SmartMedia ™ memory
cards only. Using a 5v SmartMedia card with your FotoShow ™ Image Center may cause
irreparable damage to either the SmartMedia card or the FotoShow Image Center.
NOTE: There are two locations to which your files may be copied. JPEG files will be
copied to an album titled “Album <date>.” Any non-JPEG files will be copied to a folder
titled “Camera_Misc.” Non-JPEG files will not be visible on your FotoShow
™ Image Center.
You must have a computer to view the contents of the Camera_Misc folder.
Portable Downloads the Quick Way
The FotoShow ™ Image Center provides a quick way to transfer all of the contents of your
digital film from expensive IBM ® Microdrives ™ , CompactFlash ™ cards or 3.3v SmartMedia ™
cards to inexpensive Zip ® disks. This method is ideal, when you are away from home,
because it copies the content of your digital film. Using this method, the FotoShow Image
Center does not prepare the photos for display on TV which saves valuable time between
photos. Follow these steps to transfer your photos quickly.
1.If your FotoShow ™ Image Center is on, turn it off by pressing the POWER button on
your remote control. Make sure the power light on the front of your device is off.
NOTE: The POWER button enables and disables the software only. When the
software is active (the power light is on), your FotoShow ™ Image Center not only
copies the files but prepares them to be displayed on the TV. When the software is
inactive (the power light is off), your FotoShow Image Center will simply copy all of
the files from your SmartMedia
™ card, CompactFlash ™ card, or Microdrive ™ .
2.Insert your 3. 3v SmartMedia ™ card, CompactFlash ™ card, or Microdrive ™ into the
appropriate FotoShow ™ card reader slot. See page 45 for more information.
3.The yellow light in the COPY button will flash momentarily, make sure it has quit
flashing before proceeding to the next step. If the light in the COPY button turns
solid red, eject the media and try again.
4.Insert a PC-formatted Zip ® disk into the FotoShow ™ Zip drive.
5.Press the COPY button.
6.After a brief pause, the light in the COPY button will flash green while your data is
being transferred.
7.When the data transfer is complete the Copy will glow green if the transfer was
successful, red if there was a disk or drive error, or flash red if your disk is full.
NOTE: This copy method does not prepare your photos for display on the TV. There will
be a slight delay as the FotoShow ™ Image Center prepares your images for display the
next time you insert your Zip ® disk.
