Camera Control Pro 2 (available separately) and photographs
saved directly to the computer hard disk instead of the camera
memory card.
Connecting to the Computer
Before connecting the WT-4, select [MTP/PTP] for the [USB] option
in the camera setup menu (pg.7) and confirm that the host
computer is running.

Print Mode / Copying Network Profiles to the Camera
Operating the WT-4 for Computer
Print Mode
Print mode allows you to print JPEG pictures taken with your
camera from a printer connected to a network computer via the
WT-4. The printer normally used with your computer is set as the
printer which will be operated via the WT-4. To configure a
different printer, conduct the following steps (to change the
settings to a different printer, it is not necessary to use a USB cable
to connect the camera to your computer).
The computer’s OS settings will be applied for print quality and
paper type at the time wireless transmission is configured. To
change these settings, conduct step 4 for Macintosh; for Windows,
change the OS printer settings before printing.

Creating an ftp Server
The WT-4 can be used to upload pictures to ftp servers created
using standard ftp services included with Windows Vista (32-bit
Ultimate/Business/Enterprise editions), Windows XP Professional
(Service Pack 1 or later), and Mac OS X (version 10.3.9 or version
10.4.10). Under Windows, Internet Information Services (IIS) are
required to configure ftp servers (IIS is included in the standard
install of Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows Vista Business,
Windows Vista Enterprise, and Windows XP Professional; for
information, contact Microsoft). Mac OS X versions 10.3.9 and
10.4.10 also support ftp services. Be sure to use characters
supported by the WT-4 (pg.153) when specifying such settings as
user ID, password, and folder names.
