Note: • Memory Stick/PRO, SD/MMC and xD-Picture Card shares the same slot.
• When cards are inserted in the two slots at once, the slot which will be accessed first is determined according to the priority shown in the table.
• To select a card that has been inserted in a non-active slot, first remove the card in the active slot.
• In memory card direct printing mode, the image files in the active slot are valid and have assigned frame numbers. The number of images will not change if a card is inserted in another
nonselected slot.
• When the card inserted in the slot is accessed from the PC, only one drive is displayed at a time as a removable disk* and only the card that is in the active slot can be accessed via the
removable disk. A card that has been inserted into a non-selected slot cannot be accessed.
(This is for Windows. For Macintosh, the card in the active slot will be mounted on the desktop.)
• Does not support 5V type of memory cards.
• When a memory card is being accessed, do not touch the memory card.
• For detailed information on the supported file system and formatting the memory card, refer to “1.7.2 Memory Card Direct Print Function (p.31)”.
