Explanation
(1) Only a 4-MB flash memory card can be formatted.
(2) The flash memory card can be roughly divided into the PC save area and the
writable character storage area. They can be formatted (initialized) either
separately or at the same time.
(3) When using a new flash memory card, the area to be used must be formatted
(initialized) before the PC interface command is saved or writable characters are
stored.
(4) After the flash memory card is formatted, the remaining memory is the PC save
area (895 Kbytes) and writable character storage area (3147 Kbytes). The
remaining memory is displayed on the LCD.
(5) When the flash memory card is used and the already stored data (PC interface
commands, writable characters, logos) is stored again, memory is consumed with
every storing unless the Flash Memory Format Command ([ESC] J1) is
transmitted.
(6) When the label issue operation is performed after the Flash Memory Format
Command is sent, the image buffer is automatically cleared.
(7) When storing of writable characters, logos, or PC interface commands is not
continued, the printer automatically enters the online mode (label issue operation)
after about 10 seconds. In this case, the image buffer is automatically cleared.
