Restrictions on Card Slot Use over a Network
You cannot write data to a memory card in the Card Slot over a network. You can only read data from a memory card.
Using the Card Slot over a network is supported by Mac OS X v.10.7.x, Mac OS X v.10.6.x, Mac OS X v.10.5.x, and Mac OS X v.10.4.11.
In Mac OS X v.10.7.x, Mac OS X v.10.6.x or Mac OS X v.10.5.x, you cannot mount the Card Slot as the network drive using IJ Network Tool or access to the Card Slot using MP Navigator EX over a network.
The Card Slot can be shared by multiple computers, if the machine is connected to a network. Multiple computers can read files from a memory card in the Card Slot at the same time.
If your computer joins a domain, the Card Slot may not be mounted as the network drive.
If you use the memory card stored the large size files or many files, a large amount of card access may be generated. In this case, the operation in the memory card may be impossible or slow. Operate after the Access lamp of the machine is lit.
When you access the network drive for the Card Slot over the network, file names consisting of eight or less lowercase letters (not including its extension) may be shown in uppercase.
For example, a file name such as "abcdefg.doc" will be "ABCDEFG.DOC", while a name such as "AbcdeFG.doc" will appear the same.
The file is not actually renamed, but merely appears to be changed.
Select Not writable from PC on Read/write attribute setting of the machine to read files from a memory card over a network.
 Note - If the following occurs when using the network drive for the Card Slot over a network, see Cannot Use the Card Slot.
- Cannot access the Card Slot after the network setup of the Card Slot is complete

Cannot Use the Card Slot- Check 1: Is the icon of the Card Slot displayed?
To use the Card Slot over network, you have to mount the Card Slot as the network drive of the computer. When the Card Slot is mounted, the CANON_MEMORY icon appears on the desktop. (If you are using Mac OS X v.10.7.x and Mac OS X v.10.6.x, the icon appears in the Computer window on the Go menu of Finder.)
If the icon is not displayed, mount the Card Slot.
- Check 2: Is the memory card inserted in the Card Slot?
Make sure that a memory card is inserted in the Card Slot. If it is not inserted, insert it.
- Check 3: Is Read/write attribute set to Not writable from PC?
You can read data on the memory card over network, but cannot write data to it. To read data on the memory card over network, set Read/write attribute in Device user settings to Not writable from PC.
Check 4: To share the printer's Card Slot with multiple computers over a network, set Set memory card sharing in Other settings under LAN settings to Enable.
- Check 5: Was the memory card removed without ejecting the icon of the Card Slot?
Before removing the memory card from the Card Slot, be sure to eject the canon_memory (or CANON_MEMORY) icon by dragging it into the trash. If the memory card has been removed without ejecting the icon, files on the memory card may not be displayed or accessed when you insert it in the Card Slot again. In this case, restart the computer.

- On Finder, click the Go menu and Connect to Server.
- Input "smb://xxxxxxxxxxxx/canon_memory/", then click Connect.*
"xxxxxxxxxxxx" is the string of 12 alphanumeric characters of the Default Name. For example, if the Default Name is "0000000847B6/canon_memory", then input "smb://0000000847B6/canon_memory/".*
