4–9 Downloading 1000e/1200e/1400e Application Files
Publication 2711E-6.8 – January 1998
Download Option Description
Format Storage All files downloaded to the terminal occupy space,
even if they are erased. The only way to free up
space is to format the terminal storage. If Format
Storage is checked, it will automatically do this if
there is not enough space to accommodate the
downloaded file. Clear the check box if you want to
be warned before the terminal storage is
reformatted (or if you want to be able to select
another storage location if the selected one is full).
The default is No.
Important: The terminal storage can hold more
than one application file. If you check Format
Storage, all files in the selected storage will be
removed. Ensure you have backups of any files
you do not want to delete. See the directions for
uploading files in Chapter 3 for instructions on
backing up files.
