Using the Memory Card
A memory card is a device used to store formats, check digit
algorithms, and MPCL packets. You can copy information
from a computer to a memory card. For information about
• check digit algorithms
• MPCL packets
• copying a format from a computer to a memory card
refer to your System Administrator’s Guide.
To use a format from a memory card, insert the card in the
printer. You can insert the card before you turn on the printer,
or when you want to use a format. You’ll see a message as
the printer loads the formats stored on the card.
Write-protect Switch
The write-protect switch prevents the printer from
• copying information from the memory card
• writing information to the memory card
• deleting information from the memory card.
The printer can still read information from a memory card
when the write-protect switch is on.
