Installing the CompactFlash Card (PF8t Only)
The PF8t is supplied with 4 MB flash memory and 8 MB of
SDRAM memory. The built-in memory can be expanded by
using a CompactFlash card if more memory is required for your
application. You will need to purchase and install a
CompactFlash adapter to use a CompactFlash card.
You can select which memory source you want to use. Use
Windows HyperTerminal to send an ESim M command to the
printer to select your memory source. You can only use one
memory source.
ESim memory allocation commands are:
M0 Select built-in memory
M1 Select CompactFlash memory
MF Format the CompactFlash card
For more information on ESim commands, refer to the ESim for
the PC4 and PF8 Bar Code Label Printer Programmer’s Reference
