Use these basic guidelines when storing files in your printer's flash memory.
♦
Your printer has volatile RAM (packets deleted when the printer is off) and flash
memory (packets saved when the printer is off).
♦
Flash memory must be formatted before any packets can be saved. See "
Formatting
Flash Memory
" for more information.
♦
Formats, graphics, and check digits can be saved in flash (a copy is automatically
placed in RAM). Any packets saved in flash cannot exceed the memory available in
RAM.
♦
There is not a 1-to-1 ratio between the RAM memory (formats, graphics, and check
digits) in your printer and the memory in your PC. For example, a file that is 5K in
Windows may require 15-20K to store in your printer.
♦
Use temporary storage for graphics that are only used once or twice. However, if you
have a logo that is used on multiple formats, save the graphic in flash.
♦
Each line in a packet requires the same amount of memory. The smaller the format,
the less memory required to save it.
The flash memory options are in the table below.
