3.9 Operating the Storage Device
The printer supports three types of storage device: memory
card, option hard disk (HD-10), and RAM disk. The memory
card and option hard disk are installed into the dedicated
slots of the printer. The RAM disk is an allocated part of the
printer’s memory. If the optional hard disk is installed in the
printer, the e-MPS function will be available. For details, see
e-MPS on page 3-20.
The basic operations of each storage device are the same.
This section mainly explains the operation of the memory
card.
3.9.1 Using the Memory Card
The printer is equipped with a slot for a memory card. By
inserting a memory card into the printer, the following
operations become available.
• Formatting Memory Card
• Reading Font Data
• Reading Data
• Writing Data
• Deleting Data
• Printing a List of Data Names
For details about the handling of the memory card, see A.3.1

memory card.
