Introduction
The EPSON Image Authentication System™
(IAS) lets you check the authenticity of photos
taken with your EPSON PhotoPC®
700 or
EPSON PhotoPC 750Z 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 affect 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.

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 that came with your camera. Also, either
use an AC adapter or make sure your camera has
a fully charged set of batteries.

with your computer’s serial port, and insert
