VIPER 4+ FILE MAINTENANCE
File Maintenance can be defined as the process of archiving specific files from the Viper 4+ and deleting
files that are no longer needed. It is recommended that the user perform this maintenance at the end of
each day. If this is not possible, maintenance should be performed at least once a week.
File maintenance ensures that the Viper 4+ system can perform at optimal efficiency by removing files
that are no longer needed. Regular file maintenance also safeguards valuable information from being
lost if a file is damaged or corrupted since files will be archived on a personal computer or laptop for
future reference.
All Viper 4+ job files are stored in memory. The storage location for these files is of a fixed size and will
hold a large, but limited number of files. File maintenance should be conducted on a regular basis to
ensure enough storage space is available for future jobs.
Files can be loaded onto the Viper 4+ or downloaded from the Viper 4+ using an external USB drive.
Insert the USB drive into the USB connector located in the left side of the Viper 4+.
Note: Do not leave the USB flash drive in the USB connector while operating the machine. Insert the
USB flash drive into the USB connector only to perform file maintenance.
