Writing Data

When writing to a hard disk, a name is assigned to the file au- tomatically. You can use the procedure explained later in this section to print a list of data names for confirmation. To write data onto a hard disk, proceed as follows.

First check that the hard disk is properly formatted. Other- wise, the >Write Data message to be explained below will not be shown on the message display.

Press the ENTER key. Processing appears, then

 

Waiting.

In this state, send the file from the computer to the

 

printer.

 

 

 

 

The file is written onto the hard disk and given a

 

 

destination name (also referred to as a partition

 

 

name) which the printer automatically assigns one

 

 

after another as follows:

 

 

DataH001 (first data),

 

 

DataH002 (second data),

 

 

DataH003 (third data)...

 

 

In the example above, if the file TEST.TXT is the

 

 

first data to be written onto the hard disk, the

 

 

destination name will be DataH001.

 

 

As the printer receives data, the message display

 

 

changes to Processing, then when the end of the data

 

 

is received, the message display changes to Waiting.

Check that the message display has changed to

 

Waiting, then press the GO key. This writes file to

 

 

the hard disk and instructs the printer to automatically print out a hard disk write information page as shown below.

WRITE INFORMATION

Figure 3-13

 

Partition Type:

Type of data written (currently

 

only type 2 is supported).

Partition Name:

The destination name of data

 

written to the hard disk.

Write Partition Length:The size of the written data

 

on the memory hard disk.

Error information.

When the hard disk write information page is printed, the message display returns to Ready.

If the writing was not completed successfully, an error code appears on the message display. For details, see Error Messages on page 4-6. If this happens, press the GO key. The message display returns to Ready.
