USER menu settings to be saved in the “Memory
Stick”
Settings for items on all pages of the USER menu are saved
in the “Memory Stick” as a user file. However, you can
select the items which are not to be saved in the “Memory
Stick.”
Use the items LOAD CUSTOM DATA, LOAD OUT OF
USER, BEFORE FILE PAGE and USER LOAD WHITE
on the USER FILE2 page of the FILE menu.
If data cannot be saved
If one of the following error messages appears during or
after the save operation, then the data was not saved.
Setting the file ID
Before data is saved to a “Memory Stick,” it is useful to set
a file ID for the “Memory Stick” to identify it.
When data is saved to a “Memory Stick,” the file ID is
saved to the “Memory Stick” together with the data.
Set the file ID before saving data in the “Memory Stick.”
Otherwise, the file ID is not saved with the other data.
Proceed as follows:
?P00 USER SAVE
DISPLAY MODE : ALL
001.NEW FILE
002.NEW FILE
003.NEW FILE
004.NEW FILE
005.NEW FILE
ESC
P00 USER SAVE
DISPLAY MODE : ALL
001.NEW FILE
002.NEW FILE
003.NEW FILE
004.NEW FILE
005.NEW FILE
ESC
P00 USER SAVE
SAVE OK? YES NO
DISPLAY MODE : ALL
001.NEW FILE
002.NEW FILE
003.NEW FILE
004.NEW FILE
005.NEW FILE
ESC
When a file number is
shown as “NEW FILE,”
this means that the file is
empty. When data is
stored in a file number,
the file name appears.
