Troubles

Description:
The printer cannot read a memory card.
Possible Causes and Suggested Remedies:
• Wrong type of memory card.
- The memory cards must either be fl ash memory cards, or
PC memory cards complying with the JEIDA-4 standard.
PCMCIA-cards may not work properly.
• Protection switch on DOS-formatted card incorrectly set.
- Check that the write protect switch on the memory card is
enabled. If so, try another similar memory card.
• No card inserted at startup.
- The card must be inserted before the power is switched on or
the printer is rebooted.
• Bad connection.
- Pull out and push back the card a few times to eliminate poor
contact or oxidation between card and adapter.
Note! The printer must be switched off.
• Error in content of the card.
- If you have access to a PC equipped with a card reader, list
the memory content of the PC memory card to see if it is cor-
rect.
- In case of a SRAM card, the information stored may have got
lost due to some malfunction in the card's battery backup or
an empty battery.
- If you can communicate with the printer via a PC, you
could see what fi les are stored in the memory card and
the size of them with the aid of Intermec Fingerprint com-
mands FILES "rom:" (non DOS-formatted cards), or FILES
"card1:" (DOS-formatted cards.)
• Hardware error.
- Inspect the memory card for mechanical damage.
- Examine the memory card adapter on the CPU board for
breakage or bad soldering.
