Writing data
Deleting data
Formatting hard disk
Printing a list of data names (partitions)
When an optional hard disk is inserted into the printer for the first time, it 
must be formatted before use. If the optional hard disk is not formatted, the 
>Format
 menu will automatically appear on the message display.
The operations of the optional hard disk are the same as those of the 
memory card. See the relevant sections in Using the Memory Card on 
page 2-51
.
When data is written to the hard disk, the name automatically given to the 
corresponding file will be DataH001 (for the 1st file), DataH002 (for the 2nd 
file), DataH003 (for the 3rd file), etc.
Using the RAM Disk
The RAM disk is a memory space shared within the printer memory that 
can temporarily store print jobs. The stored print job can then be used to 
print multiple copies of the job reducing the total amount of time required 
to print the whole job. It acts similar to the hard disk except that the data is 
effective only when the printer is powered up.
To use the RAM disk, activate and enter the desired size of the RAM disk 
in the manner described below. The maximum RAM disk size can be 
calculated as follows:
Maximum RAM disk size = Total printer memory -36MB
For example, if the total memory installed in your printer is 256MB, you can 
set 220MB of RAM disk. If you attempt to set the RAM disk size beyond 
this restriction, the printer automatically rounds it down so that the size is 
always 36MB less than the total printer memory. Once the RAM disk size 
is set, the printer must be reset.
To activate RAM disk in the printer's memory, first you must set the RAM 
disk mode to On and set the desired data size for the RAM disk as 
described in the following section. This allows you to perform the following 
operations on the RAM disk.
Reading data
Writing data
Deleting data
Printing a list of data names (partitions)
The operations of the RAM disk are the same as those of the memory card. 
See the relevant sections in Using the Memory Card on page 2-51. When 
data is written to the RAM disk, the name automatically given to the 
corresponding file will be DataH001 (for the 1st file), DataH002 (for the 2nd 
file), DataH003 (for the 3rd file), etc.
