Installing a CompactFlash Card (PF8t Only)
The PF8t comes with a 4 MB flash memory and 8 MB of SDRAM
memory. You can install the CompactFlash adapter accessory to use a
CompactFlash card to expand the built-in memory. For more
information, see “Accessories for the Printer” on page 74.
You send an M command to your printer from a terminal emulation
application, such as HyperTerminal to select which memory source to
use. You can only use one of these memory sources.
