Understanding memory cards

Understanding memory cards

If your digital camera uses a memory card to store photos, you can insert the memory card into the printer to print or save your photos. The printer steps you through the process.

For more information on how to print files from a memory card, see “Printing from a memory card” on page 26. For more information on how to save files from a memory card to your computer, see “Chapter 5 Saving photos” on page 53.

Types of memory cards

The printer can read CompactFlash Association (CFA) certified Type I & II, IBM Microdrive, and SmartMedia memory cards. These cards are manufactured by several vendors and are available in a variety of storage capacities. You can purchase memory cards where you purchased your digital camera or at most computer supply stores.

Caution:

Using another type of memory card may damage the memory card,

 

the printer, or both.

 

 

Inserting a memory card

Once you have taken photos with your digital camera, you can print them immediately or save them directly to your computer using the printer. Before you insert a memory card, be sure the printer is turned ON.

Note: The printer can only access one memory card slot at a time.

When the memory card is inserted correctly, the card slot indicator light illuminates. The LCD screen displays Reading for a moment, shows the number of photos found on the memory card, then displays ALL PHOTOS – 1 copy – Index.

1000 specifications

The HP 1000 was a series of minicomputers produced by Hewlett-Packard from the early 1970s through the late 1980s. Originally introduced in 1973, the HP 1000 aimed to provide high-performance computing capabilities within the reach of small to medium-sized businesses and specialized industries. This machine was distinctive not only for its advanced technology but also for the versatility it offered in various applications.

One of the standout features of the HP 1000 was its architecture. The system utilized a 16-bit word size, which allowed for efficient processing and execution of instructions. The HP 1000 employed a unique architecture known as the "Hewlett-Packard 1000 Microprogrammed System," which enabled it to execute a broad range of instructions efficiently. This made the HP 1000 particularly well-suited for data processing applications, scientific calculations, and high-level computing tasks.

The HP 1000 series was fully modular, allowing users to customize and expand their systems as needed. It supported various input/output devices, memory sizes, and even offered options for solid-state disk drives, which were cutting-edge for that time. The system’s modularity not only provided flexibility but also enhanced maintainability, enabling users to swap out components without significant downtime.

Another key aspect of the HP 1000 was its support for a wide range of programming languages, including FORTRAN, COBOL, and BASIC. This made it appealing to a variety of users, from engineers who needed to perform complex calculations to business analysts focused on data management. Additionally, the HP 1000 was designed to run multiple jobs simultaneously, making it a precursor to modern multitasking operating systems.

Networking capabilities were also an essential characteristic of the HP 1000. The system could be connected to various peripherals and terminals, increasing its functionality in a networked environment. This helped businesses leverage the power of shared resources, facilitating collaborative projects and data sharing across departments.

In conclusion, the HP 1000 series played a significant role in the evolution of computing technology. Its modular design, robust architecture, support for multiple programming languages, and networking capabilities made it a versatile tool for a wide range of applications. For over a decade, the HP 1000 series marked an important chapter in the history of computing, laying the groundwork for advancements in minicomputer technology that would follow.
