Identifying the download target Before downloading a file to flash memory or disk, you must first identify the device targeted to receive the downloaded resources. This process of identifying the device target is sometimes referred to as Resource Data Collection mode. Any device you place into this mode becomes the target for all files supported by flash memory or disk that you download to the printer. You can select the download target through the data stream, from MarkVision, or by using the operator panel. To use the operator panel, select the Download Target menu item from the Setup Menu. Selecting Flash or Disk places the device into Resource Data Collection mode and prepares it to receive resources you want to download. After downloading resources, you must reset the Download Target to RAM. The printer does not write the files to the designated device until you complete this step. If you're using MarkVision to download resources, MarkVision automatically resets the download target. Downloading resources To download files: 1 Set the download target to the appropriate device.
