Optional flash memory card or printer hard disk In order to store forms on the printer, an optional flash memory card or printer hard disk must be installed. Once installed, use Forms Manager to interact with the optional flash memory card drive or printer hard disk. Use Forms Manager to: • Store forms on the flash memory card or printer hard disk. • Erase all forms from the flash memory card or printer hard disk. • View all forms currently stored on the printer. Note: The printer may have a standard printer hard disk installed. If not, an optional printer hard disk must be installed in order to store forms. Capturing raw data for data mapping Capturing raw data is necessary in order to properly map data to forms. For additional information on capturing raw data, see the documentation that came with Forms Manager. To capture raw data: 1 In Forms Manager, go to Printer Properties and set the Printer to Data Capture mode. 2 Send the data file to the printer. 3 Refresh the printer in Forms Manager. The data file is now listed, and you can select to retrieve it. Printing forms from a flash drive The Create Flash File option in Forms Manager is used to add one or more Formsets to printers that are not attached to the network. The Flash file allows Forms Manager to communicate with these printers. The Flash file that is created contains everything needed to add the Formset(s) to the printer. Once created, the file can be saved to a flash drive and then accessed through the USB port on the printer. See the Forms Manager documentation for more information on creating Flash files. Notes: • If formsets on the flash drive and in the printer memory or hard disk contain the same activation conditions, then the formsets on the flash drive will be used when those conditions are met. • This function is supported only by devices with a port for a flash drive.
