Chapter 17 Troubleshooting

17.16 Memory Card
Troubles

Description:

The printer cannot read a memory card.

Possible Causes and Suggested Remedies:

• Wrong type of memory card.

- The memory cards must either be ﬂ ash memory cards, or

PC memory cards complying with the JEIDA-4 standard.
PCMCIA-cards may not work properly.

• Protection switch on DOS-formatted card incorrectly set.

- Check that the write protect switch on the memory card is

enabled. If so, try another similar memory card.

• No card inserted at startup.

- The card must be inserted before the power is switched on or

the printer is rebooted.

• Bad connection.

- Pull out and push back the card a few times to eliminate poor

contact or oxidation between card and adapter.

Note! The printer must be switched off.

• Error in content of the card.

- If you have access to a PC equipped with a card reader, list

the memory content of the PC memory card to see if it is cor-
rect.

- In case of a SRAM card, the information stored may have got

lost due to some malfunction in the card’s battery backup or
an empty battery.

- If you can communicate with the printer via a PC, you

could see what ﬁ les are stored in the memory card and
the size of them with the aid of Intermec Fingerprint com-
mands FILES "rom:" (non DOS-formatted cards), or FILES
"card1:" (DOS-formatted cards.)

• Hardware error.

- Inspect the memory card for mechanical damage.

- Examine the memory card adapter on the CPU board for

breakage or bad soldering.
