Basic Structure (page 63)

In this mode, you can save data to and load data from memory cards and SCSI storage devices, such as hard disks and removable cartridges. The File mode also provides various functions for managing your data and SCSI devices.

With the File Utility software (on the included CD- ROM), you can use a computer to manage data stored to memory cards or SCSI devices — even use it to transfer data between the computer and the memory card/SCSI device.

■File types that can be saved from the MOTIF to the memory card/SCSI storage device
