Question number FAQ-1181
Can files be opened using USB as an external memory like the LA-5500?
The USB cannot be used as external memory because it does not support the storage class.
The USB specifications of the LA-1400/4400 series are described in the manual as 'Communication Device Class/Printer Class'. This refers to a 'virtual COM port connection', which uses USB hardware to perform RS-232C communication. Therefore, similar to RS-232C connections, a program is required (it also appears as if a COM port has been added on the PC side).
