Refer to the following whenever Viewer operations are not what you expect.
Memory Devices
Viewer Troubleshooting
ProblemCause and Required Action
Viewer does not appear when I 
connect USB memory to the Data 
Projector’s USB port. 
The USB memory you are connecting may have a format that cannot be 
recognized by the Data Projector. Connect the USB memory to your 
computer to check if its file system is FAT or FAT32. If it isn’t, reformat the 
USB memory to FAT or FAT32. Note that doing so will delete all of the data 
currently in USB memory.
If the Data Projector cannot recognize the USB memory even though its 
file system is FAT or FAT32, the US B memory itself may be incompatible. 
Try using different USB memory.
 “Off” may be selected for the Data Projector’s “Plug and Play” setting. Use 
the procedure in the “Configuring Advanced Projector Settings” section of 
the User’s Guide on the CD-ROM to change the “Plug and Play” setting to 
“On”.
Some folders and/or files are not 
displayed in the file menu. All the folders and/or files contained in 
a folder will not be displayed if there 
are more than 999 folder and/or files in side the folder. If this happens, reduce 
the number of folders and/or files in the folder.
There are multiple devices 
connected to the Data Projector via 
a USB hub or USB card reader, but 
some of the devices are not 
recognized. The Data Projector can recognize up to four drives. If the number of 
connected drives is greater than four
, the Data Projector will not recognize 
the fifth and subsequent drives. Connect memory devices while ensuring that 
no more than four drives are connected.
When I connect my digital camera 
to the Data Projector via USB, 
digital camera memory contents do 
not appear. 
The digital camera’s USB mass storage class setting may not be 
configured correctly, or you may need to perform some operation on the 
camera. Consult the user documentation for your digital camera for 
information about the required settings and operations.
 The digital camera may not support USB  mass storage class. If it does not, 
you will not be able to use Viewer to view digital camera memory contents.

Performing a Presentation Using the YC-400/YC-430 Document Camera
This section explains how to  connect the CASIO YC-400/YC-430 Mu lti Projection Camera (document 
camera) to the Data Projec tor in order to project the images of documents placed on the document 
stage of the document camera. The Data Projector’s built-in application named YC Camera is used to 
project document images.
Important!A YC-400 document camera  can be connected to the Data Projector only if it is running firmware 
version 1.1 or higher. Fi rmware updating software is includ ed on the CD-ROM that comes with 
the projector. For more information, see “Installing the Software” (page 8).
YC Camera is an application built  into the Data Projector that makes it possible to  control the YC-400/
YC-430 document camera from the Da ta Projector. With the YC Camera application you can project 
the image of documents placed on the document stage of the document camera. Connecting the 
document camera to the Data Proj ector’s USB port and turning on the document camera will cause 
the YC Camera application  to start up automatically.
Connecting the Document Cam era to the Data Projector
This section provides the basic steps you need to perform in order to connect the document camera 
to the Data Projector and project the image of documents placed onto the document camera’s 
document stage.
Important!The procedure below assumes that the Data Projector’s plug-and-play fe ature is turned on 
(which is the initial defa ult setting). If you have turned off plug-and-play, turn it back on before 
performing the procedure below. For more details about the plug-and-play setting, see “Setup 
Menu Contents” in the User’s Guide.
 The resolution of recorded im ages is fixed at 4 megapixels when a YC-400/YC-430 Document 
Camera is connected to the Data  Projector. The resolution setting cannot be changed in this 
case.

application automatically. When the YC Camera  application starts up, the Data Projector will 
project an image of the document stage along  with a dialog box for adjusting the document 
camera position.
 If the document camera is positioned correctly, position adjustment will end automatically and 
the dialog box will close. At this time the monitor screen (the image being picked up by the 
document camera) wi ll be projected.
