Writing Format for CD-R Media

Writing to CD-R media is made in multisession type (Model 1) and ISO-9660 (Joliet)-

compliant format.

Files or folders whose name includes an unsupported character code or is too long (file/

folder name must be less than 8 characters, and the extensions must be less than 3

characters), the names are automatically changed as explained below.

File name: EPSONXXX.JPG

Folder name: EPDIRXXX

NOTE 1 :

001-999 numbers are applied to XXX in ascending order.

2:

An unsupported character-code used in the extension is replaced with an underbar.

3:

During a single backup operation, the number of automatic change of file/folder names

is limited to 999 times. When it exceeds, no more files/folders that contain an

unsupported character-code cannot be backed up.

4:

If a file or folder name that is automatically changed due to an unsupported character

code is already exists in the medium, the change is cancelled and the file or folder cannot

be backed up.

Writing Format for DVD-R Media

Writing to DVD-R media is made in UDF 1.50 (ISO9660 Bridge) format. The file

name length and the path length have the following limitations.

File name length: Max. 255 bytes

Path length: Max. 1023 bytes

NOTE:

Characters available for a folder and file name are capital alphanumeric and

underbars. Characters other than those are replaced with underbars.

Operation After Backup to CD-R/DVD-R Media

The CD-R/DVD-R is automatically ejected from the external device.

Backup Restrictions

Browsing an external device from a PC cannot be made.

The printer and an external device must be directly connected with a USB

cable. Connection via a HUB is not supported.

A connection with a PC must have been disconnected before starting a backup

in order to establish exclusive access over the medium to be backed up. There

is no need to physically disconnect the PC (disconnect the USB cable).

Partitioned media cannot be used for backup.

Writing backup data stored in a medium back to a memory card or other

media cannot be made because it may destroy the data in a DSC.

Since the printer does not have calendar function, created date and time of

backup files is the date and time initially assigned or updated by a device

other than the printer.
