12. NOTES ON USING NETWORK FUNCTION
12.1 PROTECTION OF DATA IN ATA CARD
Before turning the printer OFF, press the [PAUSE] key of the printer. Check if the printer is in a pause
state and the “ON LINE” LED goes off, then turn the printer off.
In the network function using the ATA card (FTP, HTTPD, e-mail), if the printer is turned OFF while it is
writing data to a file, the file system on the ATA card will be damaged, and data may be lost. Therefore,
when the printer does not access any files, the printer should be turned OFF.
By pressing the [PAUSE] key of the printer, the printer enters a pause state and the “ON LINE” LED
goes off. Until the printer enters the online mode again, the printer does not access any files.
If the [PAUSE] key is pressed while the printer is accessing files, the “ON LINE” LED does not go off
until the printer completes accessing files. If a large sized e-mail (approx. 300 KB) is sent to the printer
when the printer’s mail function is set to ON, the “ON LINE” LED may not go off after 30 or more
seconds have elapsed. Pay attention to the timing when turning the printer OFF.
12.2 REMAINING FREE SPACE ON ATA CARD
In the Web printer function, if a print job is sent when the ATA card does not have enough remaining
free space, an error message will be displayed. If the ATA card has no remaining free space (0 byte),
the CGI itself does not work, and an error message, which indicates the Web page cannot be displayed
on the Web browser, is displayed. (The message may not be displayed depending on the Web browser
setting.) In this case, the [Delete] button on the spooler function screen cannot work either. To delete a
file from the ATA card, use the FTP function.
12.3 COPYING FILES TO ATA CARD
A client PC equipped with the PCMCIA interface, can be used for writing/reading files to/from the ATA
card. However, when the ATA card is checked on the printer, there may be damaged files, depending
on the model. When damaged files are found, the FTP function should be used for writing/reading files
to/from the ATA card.
