The file is written onto the RAM disk 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 RAM disk, the destination

name will be DataH001.

As the printer receives data, the message display

changes to

the RAM disk and instructs the printer to automatically

print out a RAM disk write information page as shown

below.

Partition Type:

Type of data written (currently

only type 2 is supported).

Partition Name:

The destination name of data

written to the card.

Write Partition Length:

The size of the written data on

the memory card.

Others:

Error information.

When the RAM disk write information page is printed,

the message display returns to

If the writing was not completed successfully, an error

code appears on the message display. For details, see
