Writing Data

Data can be written to a memory card until no space is left for storing. When writing to a memory card, 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.

To write data to a memory card, proceed as follows.

First check that the memory card is properly formatted. Oth- erwise, the >Write Data message to be explained below will not be shown on the message display.

If the memory card inserted in the memory card slot is not formatted, the >Format will automatically appear on the dis- play. See Formatting on page 3-39.
