■ PortSelect the communication port on a computer from the following.
USB:

Communicate by connecting the USB port of a computer to the USB interface of the target device.

Ethernet:Communicate by connecting the Ethernet port of a computer to the Ethernet interface of the target
device.

Serial:Communicate by connecting the serial port of a computer to the USB interface of the target device.
When the Serial is selected for the communication port, an external memory device inserted in the target
device cannot be accessed. However, when Use Bluetooth communication is selected, an external
memory device inserted in the target device can be accessed.

■ Product Series
Displays the connectable devices based on the Target Device and Port settings.
■ USB Port Settings
This option can only be set when USB is selected for the Port.
Timeout:

Specify the time to (5000 to 32767 milliseconds) wait for a response from the target device.

Retry Cycles:

Specify the number of times to execute a reconnection when the target device cannot communicate
with the external device. When the number of reconnect attempts reaches the number of times set
here, a communication error is displayed.
