Memory Card Operations 3

Initializing a Memory Card

Initializing a Memory Card

Perform the procedure in Figure 3-3 to initialize (format) a memory card. Memory cards can also be formatted at a PC if it is equipped with a memory card reader. (Formatting at a PC uses the format utility supplied with the memory card reader.)When the memory card is formatted, a standard DOS file system and directory are put into the memory on the card. To exit at any time (formatting not completed), press the Ckey.

Note

Any scan data that may be stored in the internal memory waiting to be written to a valid memory card (see paragraph 3-8 Changing the Memory Card During Scanning) will be lost when formatting a memory card.

Selecting the INITIALIZATION mode. Insert the memory card to be initialized. Press the FILES key to access the FILES menu. Press the up/down arrow keys until Init is displayed, then press the ENTER key. The menu changes to Init. If an error message appears, see Table 3-1.

Verifing the INIT mode. To verify the selection of the initialization mode, press the up/down arrow keys until yES is displayed in the Init menu, then press the ENTER key. To exit the procedure, select no and then press the ENTER key. If yES is selected, the menu changes to SUrE.

Initializating the memory card. Press the up/down arrow keys to select yES or no in the SUrE menu, then press the ENTER key. "yES" will initialize the memory card, erasing all previous data (if any); "no" cancels the procedure. If Err 1 CArd appears, the small switch on the card may be in the write-protect position. Reposition the switch and repeat this procedure.
