The PF8t is supplied with 4 MB flash memory and 8 MB of SDRAM
memory. You can expand the built-in memory using a CompactFlash
card if your application requires more memory. You will need to
purchase and install a CompactFlash adapter to use a CompactFlash
card.
You can select which memory source you want to use. Use Windows
HyperTerminal to send an ESim M command to the printer to select
your memory source. You can only use one memory source.
ESim memory allocation commands are:
M0 Select built-in memory
M1 Select CompactFlash memory
