1. Precautions on Usage
Handle the device with the following in mind so as to enable the functions of it to be fully utilized.
(1)Before usage, make sure that the power cord is firmly connected to an outlet. Avoid connecting or
disconnecting the connector during operation or while the power switch is turned on.
(It may result in a failure.)
(2) Since the card reading part is equipped with an optical lens, never insert a screwdriver or the like.
(Otherwise, reading may be disabled.)
If card feeding is disabled due to clogged dust or the like in the card feeder, open the top cover to
remove it. (Refer to "11. Cleaning".)
(3) Allow an interval of at least 5 seconds between turning the power switch on and off.
(Otherwise, a failure may result.)
(4) Be sure to ground the device so as to prevent noise or static electricity from damaging the device.
Also, do not touch the metallic part of the device during card feeding operation.
If the device is used without being grounded or the metallic part is touched, malfunction or an elec-
tric shock may result.
(5)Do not place the device in a place subject to direct sunlight or near a heater. Also be careful not to
allow sudden temperature change, moisture, dust or excessive shock around the device.
(Otherwise, a failure like wrong paper feeding, reading or operation may occur.)
(6)When the device is not in use for long periods, insert the paper feeding roller protection card between
the paper feeding roller and the separation pad to prevent the roller material from deteriorating.
(7) If the paper feeding roller becomes soiled with powder from card paper or pencil, the roller and the
card may slip.
In order to prevent it, clean the paper feeding roller at proper intervals. (Refer to "11. Cleaning".)
(8)If the exterior of the device is soiled, slightly wipes with soft cloth wetted with water or neutral
detergent. Note that wiping with cloth wetted with volatile chemicals like benzine or thinner may
cause deforming or decoloring.
1.Precautions on Usage
(9)When connecting by RS-232C, consult with the distributor.

the paper feeding roller and the separation pad to prevent the roller material from deteriorating.
(7) If the paper feeding roller becomes soiled with powder from card paper or pencil, the roller and the
card may slip.
In order to prevent it, clean the paper feeding roller at proper intervals. (Refer to "11. Cleaning".)
(8)If the exterior of the device is soiled, slightly wipes with soft cloth wetted with water or neutral
detergent. Note that wiping with cloth wetted with volatile chemicals like benzine or thinner may
cause deforming or decoloring.
1.Precautions on Usage
(9)When connecting by RS-232C, consult with the distributor.
(10) Use only the USB cable and power cord that came with the device.

4.Installing the USB Driver
4-A Before Installation
To use a USB interface connection, load the supplied CD-ROM, and install the driver by following
the installation procedure in this chapter.
Be sure to install the USB driver before inserting the SR-450 into the computer's USB port. The
driver cannot be installed properly if the SR-450 is inserted into the USB port first.
Notes
• If you accidentally connect the SR-450 before performing the installation, delete the falsely-
identified driver from "Add or Remove Programs".
• To install the driver, you must log in as a user with administrator privileges.
Operating Environment
* • The OS must be preinstalled.
• The software may not work for certain computer models and configurations.
•Operation is not guaranteed for systems with an upgraded OS, add-on USB interface, self-
built computers, built-to-order computers, and in emulator environments (such as VirtualPC).
• Operation is not guaranteed for connections that pass through a USB hub.
• A drive capable of reading CD-ROMs is required for installing the software.
4. Installing the USB Driver
The USB driver must be installed to use this product over a USB interface connection. If using this
product over a RS-232C connection, the driver does not need to be installed, and the procedures in this
chapter are not necessary.
