Writing Data
Data can be written to a memory card until no space is left for
storing. When writing to a memory card, a name is assigned
to the file automatically. You can use the procedure explained
in the section
Printing a List of Data Names (Partitions) on
page 1-48
to print a list of data names for confirmation.
To write data to a memory card, proceed as follows.
First check that the memory card is properly formatted. Other-
wise, the >Write Data message to be explained below will
not be shown on the message display.
If the memory card inserted in the memory card slot is not for-
matted, the >Format will automatically appear on the mes-
sage display. Format the memory card. See
Formatting a
Memory Card on page 1-48
.
Press the MENU key.
Press the or key repeatedly until Memory
Card > appears.
Press the key.
Press the or key repeatedly until >Write
Data appears.
Press the ENTER key. A question mark (?) appears.
Press the ENTER key. Processing appears, then
Waiting.
In this state, send the file from the computer to the
printer.
As the printer receives data, the message display
changes to Processing, then when the end of the
data is received, the message display changes to
Waiting.
Check that the message display has changed to
Waiting, then press the GO key. This writes the file
to the memory card and instructs the printer to au-
tomatically print out a memory card write informa-
tion page as shown below.
The file is written onto the memory card given a
destination name (also referred to as a partition
name) which the printer automatically assigns one
after another as follows: DataS001 (first data),
DataS002 (second data), DataS003 (third data)...
Partition Type: Type of data written
(currently only type 2 is
supported).
Partition Name: The destination name of data
written to the card.
Write Partition Length: The size of the written data on
the memory card.
Others: Error information.
When the memory card write information page is
printed, the message display returns to Ready.
If the writing is not completed successfully, an error
code appears on the message display. For details, see
Error Messages on page 4-6
. If this happens, press
the GO key. The message display returns to Ready.
Repeat above steps until you have transferred all data
(files) that you want to write to the memory card.
Each time you finish writing data, a memory card
write information page is printed from the printer
showing the information explained in step 8 above,
but pertaining only to the data just written. To see all
data contained in the memory card at once, print a list
of data names as explained. See
Printing a List of
Data Names (Partitions) on page 1-48
.
Deleting Data
It is possible to use the printer to delete data from a memory
card one by one.
To delete data from a memory card, proceed as follows. Check
that the memory card contains data. Otherwise, the >Delete
Data menu will not appear on the message display.
Press the MENU key.
Press the or key repeatedly until Memory
Card > appears.
