Data stored on a RAM disk can be read. To read data on a RAM disk, proceed as follows.

1

 

Press the MENU key.

2

 

Press the

or

key repeatedly until RAM Disk

 

Mode > appears.

On

 

 

 

3

 

Press the

key.

 

 

4

 

Press the

or

key repeatedly until >Read Data

 

appears. The data name also appears.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

>Read Data

 

 

 

 

 

DataH001

 

 

5

 

Press the ENTER key. A blinking question mark (?)

 

appears before the data name.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

>Read Data

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

? DataH001

 

 

6

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Press the

or

key to display the desired data name.

7

 

Press the ENTER key. Processing appears and the

 

reading of data from the RAM disk starts.

 

 

Writing Data

When writing onto a RAM disk, a name is assigned to the file automatically. You can use the procedure explained later in this section to print a list of data names for confirmation.

1

 

Press the MENU key.

2

 

Press the

or

key repeatedly until RAM Disk

 

Mode > appears.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RAM Disk Mode >

 

 

 

On

 

 

 

3

 

Press the

key.

 

 

4

 

Press the

or

key repeatedly until >Write Data

 

appears.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

>Write Data

5

 

Press the ENTER key. A question mark (?) appears.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

>Write Data

?

 

6

 

 

 

 

Press the ENTER key. Processing appears, then

 

Waiting.

 

 

7

 

 

 

 

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

 

printer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The file is written onto the RAM disk 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 RAM 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.

8

 

Check that the message display has changed to

 

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

 

 

to the RAM disk and instructs the printer to auto- matically print out a RAM disk write information page as shown below.

WRITE INFORMATION

Figure 3-15

 

Partition Type:

Type of data written (currently

 

only type 2 is supported).

Partition Name:

The destination name of data

 

written to the card.

Write Partition Length:The size of the written data

 

on the memory card.

Others:

Error information.

When the RAM 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.
