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 memory card given a

 

destination name (also referred to as a partition

 

name) which the printer automatically assigns one

 

after another as follows:

 

DataS001 (first data),

 

DataS002 (second data),

 

DataS003 (third data)...

 

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

 

first data to be written onto the memory card, the

 

destination name will be DataS001.

 

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 memory card and instructs the printer to au- tomatically print out a memory card write informa- tion page as shown below.

WRITE INFORMATION

Figure 3-17

 

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 memory card write information page is printed, the message display returns to Ready.

If the writing is 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.

9

Repeat above steps until you have transferred all data

(files) that you want to write to the memory card.

Each time you finish writing data, a memory card write information page is printed from the printer showing the information explained in step 8 above, but pertaining only to the data just written. To see all data contained in the memory card at once, print a list of data names as explained. See Printing a List of Data Names on page 3-40.

Deleting Data

It is possible to use the printer to delete data from a memory card one by one.

To delete data from a memory card, proceed as follows. Check that the memory card contains data. Otherwise, the >Delete Data menu will not appear on the message display.
