4.  Connect the large end of the USB cable to a USB 

port on the PC. 

5.  Insert an unlocked (writable) memory card into a 

suitable memory card slot. If both slots are occupied, 
the scanner will take the following priority when 
storing the scanned images: 
 
SD (MMC) > CF > xD > MS/MS Pro/MS Duo 

 

For example, if both SD and CF cards are inserted, 
the scanner will store the scanned images onto the 
SD card only. 

 

6.  Press the Power button; the power indicator light 

blinks.  

Note

:  For more information, refer to “Indicator 

Lights” on page 9. 

 

The 

PhotoLink

 Scanner will be recognized by 

the computer as a removable disk (Windows system). 
You should see a drive named “PDSCAN” in Windows 
Explorer (see below figure). Within the drive there’s a 
folder called “Photo1” into which your scanned images 
are stored. Now, you are ready to view or edit the files 
on the memory card. 

Notes

:  

 

If the memory cards are subsequently removed 
and re-inserted, the scanner will only recognize 
the card first inserted. For example, if you 
remove and re-insert the CF card after the SD 
card, only the SD card will be recognized. 

 

Do not remove the memory card while the 
computer is accessing the files on it.
