Files added directly to the Filestore—those files not contained within a folder or subfolder—are said to re-
side in the root directory (similar to copying a file to the C:\ drive on a computer). You can create folders
and subfolders as required to organize files required for your specific marking operation.
In stand-alone mode, double-clicking on a file in the Filestore loads it into Flyer RAM as the current mark
file and also displays the mark file on WinMark Pro’s Drawing Canvas.
A Storage Capacity message area, located at the top of the Flyer Files window, provides total file storage ca-
pacity in kilobytes (kB) and indicates filespace used and remaining free file storage space in Flyer memory.
A Status message area, located at the bottom of the window, provides information about the requested op-
eration. When a Reformat File System or Reboot Flyer command is issued, the Status message indicates
the state of the head. A “Filestore data retrieval successful” message after a format or reboot operation indi-
cates the head is ready for operation.
As shown in Figure 4 -3, an indicator appears in the Status message area during extended file operations
as files are downloaded to, or uploaded from, the head. Allow Flyer to complete the requested file
operation before proceeding.

Valid file types
Although you can save any file type to the Flyer Filestore, Flyer recognizes only four file types for marking
operations. These file types are: (1) mark files with an .mkh extension, (2) custom date code data files with
a .dat extension, (3) TrueType
®
fonts with a .ttf extension, and (4) a master control file named “master.ctl”.
See Master Control File mode in the Configuration section for details on using a master control file.
Saving files
When a file is open in WinMark’s Drawing Editor on the Drawing Canvas, click the Save Current File to
Filestore button, to save the currently active WinMark Pro mark file directly to the Filestore.
Important Note: When the Filestore contains a file with the same name as the file you are saving, the
existing file in the Filestore is overwritten without warning.
Note: The WinMark Pro Hardlock (USB or parallel port type) must be installed on the computer run-
ning WinMark before this operation is allowed to proceed.
Copying files
To copy an existing file within the Filestore, select the file and drag it to the appropriate folder or subfolder.
Note that a plus (+) sign appears below the file to indicate it is being copied. Flyer’s menu structure allows
files with the same name as long as they are stored in a different folder or subfolder.
