Memory

The PTC-960XRF has internal memory, which
is used to store your organization’s application
program and the data you type into the PTC.

The amount of memory in your PTC determines
how much data you can type in before you have
to send it to a host computer or print it. Various
amounts of memory are available from Telxon,
and the amount actually installed in your PTC
has been determined by your organization’s
needs.
