2.5.RAM DISK

The RAM DISK function can be used when the total printer memory is 12 MB or more. A RAM DISK can be set up as a visual media device by setting a given amount of the total printer memory as the RAM DISK. This can then be used for reading and writing data just as with a memory card. Note however that data written to the RAM DISK is lost if the printer is reset or its power turned off. RAM DISK settings can be made from the printer's control panel.

☛The RAM DISK is set from the printer's user memory. The printer's printing speed may therefore drop or insufficient memory errors result depending on the value of the RAM DISK setting.
