It is recommended to update your device's FW to the latest version. Latest FW versions already have YSoft USB card reader preregistered, so it is not required to perform registration procedure.
The USB card reader has to be set to the USB keyboard mode.

Navigate to Toshiba service menu and set 3500 (write this number and press green Start button) to 60001.
