RAM Disk Mode (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:
When the RAM disk is activated = The maximum RAM disk size is 4MB 
(when no options are attached)
When the optional memory is installed = The maximum RAM disk size is 
1/2 of the total optional memory installed
To activate RAM disk in the printers 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.
1Press  Z while  Device Common >  is displayed.
2Press U or  V repeatedly until  >RAM Disk Mode >  appears.
3Press [OK]. A blinking question mark ( ?) appears.
4Select  On or  Off  using  U or  V.
5Press  [OK].
6Press  [MENU] . The display returns to  Ready.
NoteThe printer supports three types of storage device; CF card, 
optional hard disk, and RAM disk. The CF card and optional hard 
disk are installed into the dedicated slots of the printer. The RAM 
disk is an allocated part of the printer’s memory.
IMPORTANT The RAM disk can not be used when an optional hard 
disk is installed.
The RAM disk stores data only temporarily. When the printer is reset 
or turned off, the stor ed data will be erased.
The RAM disk allows some Job Box functions to be used.
The RAM disk is allocated from the printer memory available to users. 
If the size of the RAM disk is set too large, the printing speed may 
decrease or the memory  may become insufficient.
