README.TXT Version 1.1.35 050223 NOTE: During installation, a copy of this file is placed on your hard drive in the installation folder. ============================================== MEDICAPTURE IMAGE TRANSFER WIZARD (mcwiz.exe) ============================================== This Readme file provides a brief overview of how to use the MediCapture Image Transfer Wizard to transfer images from your MediCapture USB flash drive to your computer. For complete documentation, refer to the "MediCapture Image Transfer Wizard User Guide" which is available in the Support section of the MediCapture web site at www.medicapture.com. ============================================== Important Note ============================================== You must use the Image Transfer Wizard to copy images from your flash drive to your computer. DO NOT TRANSFER IMAGES FROM YOUR FLASH DRIVE BY "DRAGGING AND DROPPING." This is because, in addition to transferring the images, the wizard also converts them to a format that is usable on your computer. THE "RAW IMAGES" ON YOUR FLASH DRIVE ARE NOT USEABLE ON YOUR COMPUTER UNTIL THEY HAVE BEEN PROCESSED BY THE WIZARD. ============================================== Quick Start ============================================== 1. When you finish capturing images using your MediCap USB100 or USB150 image capture device, press the Save To USB Memory button on the front panel. This saves the images to your flash drive. The green light under the Save button will blink while the images are being transferred. AFTER the blinking stops, remove the drive from the front panel. 2. Insert the flash drive in the USB connector of your computer. 3. On your computer, browse to the flash drive. To do so, double-click on My Computer and locate the flash drive. It will have a name like MEDICAP-USB. Double-click on it, then double-click on SETUP.EXE. This will open a window that installs the wizard (mcwiz.exe) on your computer. Follow the installation prompts. (IMPORTANT NOTE: You only need to do this step the first time you use the wizard. After that, you can skip this step.) 4. Locate the MediCapture Image Wizard icon on your desktop. Double-click on it to open the wizard. The wizard will guide you through the process of transferring images to your computer. ============================================== Tips ============================================== - For complete documentation including detailed descriptions of the wizard windows and a troubleshooting FAQ, see the "MediCapture Image Transfer Wizard User Guide" which is available in the Support section of the MediCapture web site at www.medicapture.com. - If you cannot locate SETUP.EXE (Step 3 above), go to the Support section at www.medicapture.com and download the MediCapture Image Transfer Wizard. - If the USB connector on your computer is in the back, you can plug in the cable supplied with your MediCapture USB flash drive so that you do not need to reach behind the computer each time you want to connect the drive. If the USB connector on your computer is easily accessible, you do not need to use the USB cable. - In the Advanced Options window of the wizard, you can select an image format (for example, JPEG or DICOM). (You access this window from the Select Images window.) To set your selected format as the default, click the Set Defaults button in the Advanced Options window. Then the wizard will continue to use the same format every time you transfer images. - It’s a good idea to regularly use the wizard to move images off your flash drive and onto your computer. This will free up memory space on the flash drive so you can capture more images. To move images off of the USB flash drive, use the check box labeled "Delete images from my USB flash drive after copying them." This checkbox is in the Image Destination window of the wizard. ============================================== System Requirements ============================================== MediCapture USB flash drives require the Windows operating system and support for a USB connection.
