Kyocera FS-1200 manual Formatting a Memory Card, Printing a list of data names

2.6. Operating a Memory Card

Formatting a Memory Card

Formatting allows data to be written to the card. A new memory card must be formatted before it can be used in the printer.

☛Formatting destroys any existing data on the memory card.

First check that the memory card is writable (for example that the memory card is not write-protected, and its internal battery is not exhausted).

When the formatting operation is successfully completed, the printer automatically prints out a formatting information page as shown below.

The printout (example above) includes the following information.

Card size:The total size of the memory card memory in bytes.

Data size:The size the printer uses for its system in bytes.

Remaining size: The size remaining in the memory card for storing data in bytes.

Printing a list of data names

The printer prints a list of all data names (referred to as partitions) stored in a memory card for reference. (Printing a list is also available for a font card.)

The printout (example above) includes the following information.

Partition (data) number:	Reference number for each written data.
Name:	The destination name of the written data as assigned automatically by the printer.
Size:	The size of the written data in bytes.
Type:	The type of the written data i.e., whether it is host data (Data) or font data (Font).
Card size:	The total capacity of the memory card in bytes.
Data size:	The total size of the data stored in the memory card in bytes.
Remaining size:	The size of the capacity remaining in the memory card for storing further data, includ-
	ing the amount of memory that the printer uses for its system (approximately 70 bytes).

Current terminating string: The PRESCRIBE 2e command that terminates a writing operation when writing to mem- ory card using the PRESCRIBE 2e RWER W command; usually WRED.
