Memory Card
If you want to use a memory card, you must insert it into the slot in the
printer’s rear plate before you switch on the power. The memory card
must be a CompactFlash card (8MB-1GB). CompactFlash cards marked
“CF+” will not work. You can use the CompactFlash card to expand the
printer’s storage memory ("card1:"). There are also three types of prepro-
grammed CompactFlash cards:
• Font Cards provide additional fonts that can be used as long as the
card remains inserted in the printer.
• Font Install Cards permanently install additional fonts in the printer,
which can be used even after the card has been removed.
• Firmware Cards automatically replace the printer’s fi rmware, usually
with an updated version.
CompactFlash cards are widely used for consumer’s computer products
like digital cameras. You can get a certain protection from theft by install-
ing an optional plate that covers an inserted CompactFlash card.
Note: Always switch off the power before inserting or removing
a memory card! The card will only fi t in one way. A memory
card is only detected if it is inserted before the printer is
started.
