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 t o a mem ory card. For i nformation about

• check digit algorithms

• MPCL packets

• copying a format from a computer to a memory card

refer to your System Administrator’s Guide.

printer. You can insert the card before you turn on the printer,
or when you want to use a format. You’ll see a me ssage as

• cop yi ng infor m ation from the me m or y c a r d

The printer can still read information from a memory card
when the write-protect switch is on.
