The parameters are read from a memory card and written to the drive by pressing the [F2] key.
The terminal will enter the DIRECTORY screen from which an existing parameter filename can be
selected or entered. Refer to the sections entitled “Select a filename” and “Enter a filename”.
When the filename has been obtained, the TRANSFER: PARAMETERS screen similar to that
shown in Figure 78
(except the operation will show “FILE TO DRIVE”) will be displayed, showing
the filename, indicating the operation you are about to perform and showing the current status of
the operation.
The screen will then ask you to confirm the operation. Press the [F8] key to proceed, or the [F9]
key to abort. An aborted transfer or one which failed may be restarted by pressing the [F4] key.
To select or enter a different filename, press the [F7] key.
