Check the cable and make sure the connections are 
secure. Make sure the pins inside the connector are not 
bent.

AC adapter is connected.

. If you see the same screen, 
continue with step 5.

Select another port if necessary. In most cases, it is best 
to leave the 
Port
 setting at 
Auto
 because EPSON 
Photo!2 can detect the camera connection automatically. 
If you have a serial device connected to one port and an 
internal modem on the other, you can try COM3 or 
COM4.

Select a slower speed. EPSON Photo!2 automatically 
chooses the fastest speed that works with your system. 
This may actually be too fast for the configuration of 
your port. Try setting the speed to 
57600. 
You may 
need to experiment to choose the best speed.

your pictures, see Chapter 10 for more troubleshooting 
tips.
Importing Images Into Documents
Once your pictures are transferred and saved on your hard 
drive, you can import them into your applications. You may 
need to convert your images if you didn’t export them from 
the camera (as explained on page 3-3) and your application 
can’t import JPEG files. Or, you can use the Save As feature 
of Image Expert to convert image files.
NOTE
Your picture may display poor image quality after you import it. 
However, in most cases it will print correctly.
Follow these steps to import a PhotoPC 750Z picture into 
your document:
1
Start your application.
2
Open the document where you want to use the picture.
