- SETUP FOR COM3 AND COM4
-
- If you connect the QuickTake camera to COM3 or COM4 and experience
- communication problems, you need to check the Windows Ports control
- panel settings. (The Control Panel group is located in the Main window.)
-
- 1. Open the Windows Ports control panel.
- 2. Select COM3 or COM4. (Repeat this process for both COM ports.)
- 3. Click the Settings button.
- 4. In the dialog box that appears, click the Advanced button.
- 5. In the Advanced Settings dialog box, make sure the settings are:
- - COM1 3F8 IRQ4
- - COM2 2F8 IRQ3
- - COM3 3E8 IRQ4
- - COM4 2E8 IRQ3
- 6. Click OK.
- If you changed the settings, you must restart Windows for the new settings
- to take effect. When you click OK, a message lets you choose to restart
- now or delay the restart.
-
- If you are using several serial devices with your computer, make sure that
- the line IRQSharing=ON exists in the [386enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI
- file.
-
- Consult the manual that comes with your computer (or card) if the above
- settings do not work.

- PICT QUICKTAKE(.QTK) FILE FORMAT
-
- The PICT QuickTake(.QTK) is not the Macintosh standard PICT(.PIC) file
- format. You will not be able to open QuickTake(.QTK) images with PICT(.PIC)
- supported applications. Our recommendation is to save it in JPEG or TIFF
- format to transfer images to other applications.

-
- SHARING QUICKTAKE IMAGES WITH A MACINTOSH COMPUTER
-
- To transfer QuickTake images from a Macintosh to a Windows computer:
- 1. Make sure PC Exchange (or a similar program) has been installed on the
- Macintosh.
- 2. Insert a DOS formatted disk into a floppy disk drive on the Macintosh.
- 3. Copy the Macintosh QuickTake files to the disk, and move them to your
- computer.
- NOTE: You can only transfer images that are in PICT QuickTake or TIFF format.
-
- To transfer QuickTake images from a Windows computer to a Macintosh:
- 1. Make sure PC Exchange (or a similar program) has been installed on the
- Macintosh.
- 2. Insert a DOS formatted disk into a floppy drive on the Windows computer.
- 3. Copy the QuickTake files to the disk, and move them to the Macintosh.
- NOTE: You can transfer PICT QuickTake images (with the QTK extension).
- Next, so you can open the images on the Macintosh, you need to assign the
- file type:
- 4. Open the PC Exchange control panel on the Macintosh.
- 5. In the dialog box that appears, click Add.
- 6. In the "DOS Suffix" box, type .QTK.
- 7. In the scrollable list, find TeachText, SimpleText, or your favorite
- image editing application and select it.
- 8. Choose PICT from the "Document Type" pop-up menu.
- 9. Click OK. The first PC Exchange dialog box reappears, and the QTK
- file type has been assigned to the selected application as a PICT file
- type. Now you can open and view the files in any Macintosh application
- that reads PICT. In addition, if you open an image in the QuickTake
- application, you can save it in the other file formats available on the
- Macintosh (PICT, JPEG, and TIFF).
-
- NOTE: If you are transferring Macintosh files to a Windows computer on a
- network, only transfer images that are in PICT QuickTake or TIFF format.
- If you are transferring Windows files to a Macintosh on a network, only
- transfer images with the QTK extension.

-
- PRINTING SLIDE TABLES
-
- Before you print a slide table, be sure to use the highest resolution
- available for your printer. When you choose the Print command, the dialog
- box that appears shows the current setting for print resolution.
-
- To print full-size images you can use any resolution.
