USB (Universal Serial Bus)

SWPP Photographic Glossary

USB, or Universal Serial Bus, is a peripheral connector standard that allows devices such as printers, scanners, and digital cameras to be connected or disconnected from a computer without powering it down. The computer automatically detects the connected device and prompts for software installation if required.

Photographers and digital artists rely on USB connections for fast, convenient data transfer between devices. Understanding USB technology ensures efficient workflow, seamless device integration, and the ability to connect multiple peripherals—up to 127 at once—for enhanced productivity.
