Description

Learn how to save character data on the Mk2600.

Solution

Files and Folders

You can save character data that you have created in files in the printer's internal memory. When you save a file, you have to assign it a file name; the purpose of the file name is to allow you to quickly identify the data that is stored in that file.

The printer also has three preset folders; when you save a file, you can save the file in one of these ten folders. In other words, a folder can be viewed as a container or holder of files. Naturally, multiple files can be stored in a folder*.

Although files can be deleted, folders cannot. Initially, the folders are named Folder 1 to Folder 10, but you can rename these folders as desired.

*One folder can hold up to 99 files, assuming each file contains approximately 60 characters.
