Saving the Image on the Sheet
Images drawn on the sheet can be stored either in the built-in memory or on a CF memory card.
This is a black and white copyboard. Images drawn in color are stored in black and white.
Ⅵ Saving sheet images in the built-in memory
Preparations: Check that the POWER indicator is lit. If it is off, press the POWER button.
Press the FEED/STOP button to move the sheet image you want to
save to the front.
• There is no need to perform this operation to save the image that is currently
at the front.
• When the FEED/STOP button is pressed, the sheet scrolls one page’s worth
to the left (or upwards) (this takes about 12 seconds), then stops automati-
cally. To stop in the middle, press the FEED/STOP button again. (page 25)
Press the MEMORY button to store that image in the memory.
• The sheet scrolls one page’s worth to the left (or upwards), scanning starts,
and the image is stored in the built-in memory.
• The MEMORY indicator blinks slowly while the image is being stored in the
memory.
● If the indicator blinks intermittently
The indicator blinks intermittently (warning) when there is not enough free data
space left in the built-in memory.
* Either clear the built-in memory (see “Clearing the built-in memory” on page
25) or insert a CF memory card with enough free space on it, then press the
MEMORY button again.
If the indicator starts blinking intermittently (warning) after scrolling
* The memory may run out of space while the file is being stored. In this case,
the data that was scanned is still in the memory when the indicator starts
blinking intermittently.
* To store the data in a file, insert a CF memory card with enough free space
on it, then press the MEMORY button.
* Note that the data is discarded when the memory clearing procedure is
performed or when the FEED/STOP or POWER button is pressed.
* To save the same image again, bring that sheet surface back to the front,
then press the MEMORY button.
Notice:
• If a CF memory card is inserted into the card slot, the data is stored on the CF memory card, not in the built-in
memory.
• The edges of the image on the sheet surface are not stored. See “Scannable area” on page 21.
• Some parts may not be read or their density built-in in the data may change (patchy letters, thin lines, portions
where marker lines overlap, etc.).
• To save image files stored in the built-in memory onto a computer, see page 26.
• The maximum capacity of the built-in memory is about 1.8 MB, that is between 15 and 20 files (the amount
of data per file depends on the drawings on the sheet).
• Do not press the FEED/STOP button while the image is being scanned (while the MEMORY indicator is
blinking slowly). Doing so will cancel the data saving procedure and the data will be discarded.
• To move the sheet surface, press the FEED/STOP button after scrolling has stopped.
• The date of file property is fixed at January 1, 2004.
This can be changed using the “M-5 setup utility” software.
The diagrams used in the explanations below show the
copyboard installed in the horizontal position.
