1.6. Memory Card
A memory card is a microchip card containing, for example, nonresident fonts and/or macros, forms, etc. The
printer reads the contents of the card into its internal memory when power is switched on. The presence of
this data in the printer memory can be confirmed on the status printout.
☛ The maximum card capacity that can be used is 32 Megabytes. The type of the memory card to be
used must be of either flash memory card (+5V type) or SRAM-type and conform to the PCMCIA 2.1
(JEIDA 4.2) standards. Please use memory cards recommended by us.
The memory card slot is located at the bottom right of the printer.
To insert and use a memory card:
1.
Switch printer power off.
☛ Do not insert or remove a memory card while power is on. If the memory card is removed while the
printer is on, damage could result in the printer's electronics or the memory card.
2.
Insert the memory card in the slot. Insert it face up,
connector end first. Push it in all the way.
3.
Switch printer power on. The printer reads the contents of the memory card during its power-up
sequence. The information (nonresident fonts, etc.) on the memory card is now available for use.
If the memory card information is deleted from the printer's memory during the printing process, it can be
reread by using the mode selection function explained on the last page in this manual.
To Remove the Memory Card:
1.
Switch the power off.
2.
Remove the memory card from the slot.
