Introduction
The EPSON Image Authentication System™(IAS) lets
you check the authenticity of photos taken with your
EPSON PhotoPC®
700, 750Z, 800, or 850Z camera.
IAS detects when even a single bit of digital data in a
picture has been altered. Because IAS doesn’t change the
file format, it has no effect on your ability to store and
display pictures, or to use them in other applications.
Important:
Your software license agreement permits you to
upload the IAS software to only one EPSON digital
camera per software copy or license purchased.

Uploading IAS to Your Camera
EPSON Image Authentication System verifies the
authenticity of pictures taken only after the IAS program
is uploaded to your camera.
You can use this procedure both to upload IAS to your
camera and to verify that IAS is loaded on a camera.
Before you start, make sure you have the serial cable or
USB cable that came with your camera. Also, either use
an AC adapter or make sure your camera has a fully
charged set of batteries.

Turn off the camera and LCD screen, then follow these
steps:
1. Locate your computer’s serial or USB port.
Note:
If you are connecting the camera to a serial
interface and your computer has two ports,
connect your camera to COM1.
2. If you are using the serial cable, align the connector
with your computer’s serial port, and plug it in. Then
tighten the screws.

6
If you are using the USB cable, plug the connector
into the USB port on your computer or into a port
on a USB hub.
Note:
Although you can use a USB hub, it’s best to
connect the camera directly to the computer’s USB
port.
