Chapter 3 Writing on the Luminex
Writing Jobs
The Luminex stores steno notes, timestamps, job dictionaries, audio files and J-Defines on the Data
SD card. The Luminex also saves steno notes, timestamps and audio files to the Backup SD card;
and saves steno notes and timestamps to memory.
The Backup SD card is not designed to be removed from the Luminex unless, in a rare occurrence, it
is necessary to locate a job that cannot be found in memory or on the Data SD card. The Backup SD
card must be in the Luminex in order for the steno machine to operate. Never remove the Backup SD
card while the Luminex is On.
