card reader (purchased separately). The memory card
reader acts just like a floppy disk drive or CD-ROM drive. In
addition, some computers and HP Photosmart printers have
memory card slots built into them, and you can use these
memory card slots as you would use a regular memory card
reader to save images to the computer.
