Press the or key to display the desired data name.
Press the ENTER key. Processing appears and the
reading of data from the hard disk starts.
Writing Data
When writing to a hard disk, a name is assigned to the file au-
tomatically. You can use the procedure explained later in this
section to print a list of data names for confirmation. To write
data onto a hard disk, proceed as follows.
First check that the hard disk is properly formatted. Other-
wise, the >Write Data message to be explained below will
not be shown on the message display.
Press the MENU key.
Press the or key repeatedly until Hard Disk >
appears.
Press the key.
Press the or key repeatedly until >Write Data
appears.
Press the ENTER key. A question mark (?) appears.
Press the ENTER key. Processing appears, then
Waiting.
In this state, send the file from the computer to the
printer.
The file is written onto the hard disk and given a
destination name (also referred to as a partition
name) which the printer automatically assigns one
after another as follows:
DataH001 (first data),
DataH002 (second data),
DataH003 (third data)...
In the example above, if the file TEST.TXT is the
first data to be written onto the hard disk, the
destination name will be DataH001.
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.
Check that the message display has changed to
Waiting, then press the GO key. This writes file to
the hard disk and instructs the printer to automati-
cally print out a hard disk write information page as
shown below.
Figure 3-13
Partition Type: Type of data written (currently
only type 2 is supported).
Partition Name: The destination name of data
written to the hard disk.
Write Partition Length:The size of the written data
on the memory hard disk.
Others: Error information.
When the hard disk write information page is
printed, the message display returns to Ready.
If the writing was 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.
