2.6. Operating a Memory Card
2-17
Formatting a Memory Card
Formatting allows data to be written to the card. A new memory card must be formatted before it can be used
in the printer.
☛ Formatting destroys any existing data on the memory card.
First check that the memory card is writable (for example that the memory card is not write-protected, and
its internal battery is not exhausted).
When the formatting operation is successfully completed, the printer automatically prints out a formatting
information page as shown below.
The printout (example above) includes the following information.
Card size: The total size of the memory card memory in bytes.
Data size: The size the printer uses for its system in bytes.
Remaining size: The size remaining in the memory card for storing data in bytes.
Printing a list of data names
The printer prints a list of all data names (referred to as partitions) stored in a memory card for reference.
(Printing a list is also available for a font card.)
The printout (example above) includes the following information.
Partition (data) number: Reference number for each written data.
Name: The destination name of the written data as assigned automatically by the printer.
Size: The size of the written data in bytes.
Type: The type of the written data i.e., whether it is host data (Data) or font data (Font).
Card size: The total capacity of the memory card in bytes.
Data size: The total size of the data stored in the memory card in bytes.
Remaining size: The size of the capacity remaining in the memory card for storing further data, includ-
ing the amount of memory that the printer uses for its system (approximately 70 bytes).
Current terminating string: The PRESCRIBE 2e command that terminates a writing operation when writing to mem-
ory card using the PRESCRIBE 2e RWER W command; usually WRED.
