¾ Active Memory Bank
Only the application program and font file that need to be activated immediately can be
downloaded to the active bank. The new font file may not be shown in the program list if
application programs take all banks, but you can view font information in the System Menu.
Active bank:
1. Select the active program (may be an empty bank) by pressing the corresponding number (that is 7)
and then [Enter].
2. Connect cable and wait connecting…
3. If the downloaded program is an application, it will replace the active program and come into effect
immediately. If it is a font file, then the current active program is still in use.
Note: No font file will replace the active application program.
4.2.2 Activate
The list shows the entire spare programs stored in the terminal. From the list, you can select
from 01 to 06 and activate one of them.
¾ Activate an application program
The selected program will be copied to the active memory bank and replace the current one.
When <New Program Start> screen prompts “Press [ESC] to clear file”, it means the file
system in the SRAM will be cleared out by pressing [ESC]. Then there will be no data
(transactions, settings, etc.) stored in the terminal when the new program comes into effect.
To keep the data, simply press any other key.
¾ Activate a font file
The selected font file will be copied to the active memory bank and replace the current font
or system font. However, the active application program will remain intact.
