Restrictions on Card Slot Use over a Network

In Macintosh, you cannot write data to a memory card in the Card Slot over a network. You can only read data from a memory card.

The Card Slot can be shared by multiple computers, if the machine is connected to a network. Multiple computers cannot access the Card Slot at the same time. While one computer connected over the network is reading from and writing to a memory card in the Card Slot, other computers cannot access the Card Slot.

When you access the network drive for the Card Slot over the network, file names consisting of less than eight lowercase letters (not including its extension) may be shown in uppercase.
For example, a file name such as "abcdefg.doc" may appear as "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.

When you access the network drive for the Card Slot over the network with the Read/write attribute setting of the machine set to USB enabled, you cannot access the network drive for the Card Slot properly. On the other hand, if this setting is set to LAN enabled, you cannot access it via USB. Make sure that the Read/write attribute setting is set properly depending on your connection type. Select Read-only mode to read via USB and over a network, although you cannot write files to a memory card in either way with this setting.

If you write files to a memory card over a network when the Canon IJ Network Scan Utility is not running, the Date Modified of the files will change. Make sure to start up the Canon IJ Network Scan Utility before you write files to a memory card over the network.
