The selected file is sent to the printer via the serial interface. For a correct printout, you
must ensure that the settings in the option menu are correct for the connected printer (see
Section 5.1.8.13).
You can select how many copies are to be printed.
The prompt ’Copies: ’ followed by the currently set value, is displayed and you can use
the following key combinations to change the number of copies:
[SPC+1] or {Cursor up} increments the value by 1.
[SPC+4] or {Cursor down} decrements the value by 1.
[SPC+2] or {Page up} increments the value by 10
[SPC+5] or {Page down} decrements the value by 10.
[SPC+3] or {Ctrl + Cursor left} increments the value by 100.
[SPC+6] or {Ctrl + Cursor right} decrements the value by 100.
[ESC] aborts the action.
[Enter] confirms the input and starts the print operation.
You can print up to 200 copies in one operation. The default setting for the number of
copies is 1.
When you confirm your input with [Enter], the print operation is started. It can be aborted at
any time by pressing [SPC+7 8] or {Ctrl + Tab}.
It is also possible to start a print operation directly from the file list by pressing [SPC+ 1 2 3

date and time at which it was most recently accessed. You can exit this display by
pressing the [ESC] key, which will return you to the file list.
Please note!
Older firmware versions do not save the date and time correctly. In these cases, the data
displayed under this menu item will be nonsensical. However, the correct date and time
will be displayed for all recently transmitted files.
