Introduction
With the OKIPAGE Flash SIMM (Single In-line Memory
Module) card installed in your printer, you can store
information such as downloaded fonts, bar codes, form
overlays and macros. These are stored in “flash” memory,
which means that they are not erased when the printer is
switched off.
Use the OKI Image Creator and NetFlash software utilities on
the CD included in this kit, to download flash memory fonts
and macros, etc.
!Fonts, forms or bar code images are not provided with this kit.
Follow the instructions in this guide to install the Flash
SIMM in your OKIPAGE printers and install the Image
Creator and NetFlash utilities in your computer. Operating
instructions for the Image Creator and NetFlash utilities are
located on the CD included in this kit.
!Your OKIPAGE printer accommodates only one Flash SIMM. Be sure to insert the SIMM into the socket
specified in the following sections.
