MEMORY FUNCTIONS
You can use the memory to store your most frequently used text files. The text remains in the

edited or printed without changing the originally stored file. When a file is no longer needed or
more space is necessary, the

When inserting new batteries, be sure to insert the new ones within five minutes of
