message will appear in the display and you will not be able to exe-
cute the operation.
• If there is not enough capacity left on the USB flash memory device
to save the data, an appropriate message will appear in the display
and you will not be able to save the data. Erase unwanted files from
the USB flash memory device to make more memory available
(page 79), or use a different USB device.
