Removing the memory card
Users can force the ejection of memory cards inserted in the card slot, by pressing the Eject button next to
the slot. However, in order to protect the data on the memory card, remove the card using any of the
following timings/methods:
- While the Access lamp is not lit, press the Eject button to remove the memory card.
- If the memory card is removed while the Access lamp is blinking or on, the data on the card is not assured.
- When the printer is not connected to a host computer, power off the printer with the Power button and after
the Access lamp is unlight, remove the memory card.
- Remove the memory card together with the adapter, not the memory card only.
- When the printer is connected to the host computer, from the host computer, select “Eject disk” to unlit the
Access lamp, and then remove the memory card.
(Turning off the printer makes it possible to turn off the Access lamp, however in this case, a warning
message of incorrect disk removal may be displayed in the connected host computer.)
When a Windows PC is used and the drive of the memory card is displayed in Explorer, close the window
prior to the removal of the memory card.
(If the window is not closed prior to the memory card removal, the following phenomenon will appear in the
host computer.)
WindowsMe/98:
A blue background screen appears. This can be recovered by following the
instructions in the display.
Windows2000/XP: A warning is displayed, and the ejection operation cannot be executed.
