Operating the Storage Device

The printer supports three types of storage devices: CompactFlash card, 

Microdrive, and RAM disk.
The printer is equipped with a slot for a CompactFlash card and a 

Microdrive. By inserting a CompactFlash card or Microdrive into the 

printer, the following operations become available. For details about the 

handling of the CompactFlash card and Microdrive, see 

.

The following procedure assumes use of a CompactFlash card. The similar 

procedure can be applied when using the Microdrive.

Activating the RAM Disk

The RAM disk is a memory space shared within the printer memory that 

can temporarily store print jobs for electronic sorting. The stored print job 

can then be used to print multiple copies of the job reducing the total 

amount of period required to print the whole job. It acts similar to the 

option Microdrive except that the data is effective only during the printer 

is powered up.
To set up the RAM disk, the option Microdrive must not be installed.
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 - 9 MB
For example, if the total memory installed in your printer is 96 MB, you 

can set 87 MB of RAM disk. If you attempt to set the RAM disk size beyond 

this restriction, the printer automatically round it down so that the size is 

always 9 MB less than the total printer memory. Once the RAM disk size is 

set, the printer must be reset.
By default, the RAM disk is not activated (Off). To confirm the RAM disk 

size or activate the RAM disk, proceed as follows:

Press the MENU key.

Press the   or   key repeatedly until RAM Disk Mode > appears.
