Working with Memory Cards
Using the Printer Memory Card
Usage of printer memory card is recommended whenever faster label printing is required. A memory
card boosts performance because there is no need to transfer large bitmap images or custom font
files to printer over and over again. Every element that is needed on the label is already stored on the
memory card.
Let's take a look at how you can prepare and use your memory card.
1. First of all, go through the user manual of your memory card. Memory cards are sensitive
devices and misuse could damage the card as well as your printer.
2. Insert memory card into Slot 1. The slots are usually located at the back of the printer.
Switch on the printer.
3. Start the application NiceMemMaster, memory card manager. If the icon for Nice-
MemMaster is not shown in the labeling software folder in the Start menu check your
installation. Reinstall the labeling software if necessary.
4. We'll assume that memory card is empty or safe to delete. First step is, to let Nice-
MemMaster know what type of card is inserted in printer. Click Print Setup in
Card menu. Select your thermal printer from the list. If your printer is not listed, you
will have to install the appropriate NiceDriver. Click button Properties then click button
Memory to open dialog box Printer memory. Here we have to activate the memory
card in Slot 1. Look at section Slot 1. In field Type select Memory Card, leave field
Connected file intact. Keep clicking OK until you return to NiceMemMaster.
Note:
NiceMemMaster works only in conjunction with NiceDrivers.
5. We will format the memory card and prepare it for downloading our data. Be careful, if
the card contains any previously downloaded elements, they will be deleted. Click For-
mat from Card menu or click . Formatting will take a few seconds.
6. Next step is to build a list of fonts and graphics that we want to store on memory card.
The information about these fonts and graphics is stored in memory card file (.MMF).
Let's make a sample memory card file. Select New from Card menu, or click .
Name the file Sample and click OK. In dialog Card setup type in description and select
proper card size in kilobytes. You can always return to this dialog by selecting Memory
card information in Card menu or clicking .
On the left side of the NiceMemMaster windows is place for inserting fonts; on the right
side is a place for graphics files. To add a font select Add from Font menu or right-click
Fonts side of the window. Select font to be downloaded and its style and size. Next
dialog allows you to select only the required characters in this font. Only selected char-
acters will be downloaded to memory card. Use this option if you are running low on kil-
obytes on memory card. Let's add the whole font in our sample. Next we we'll add some
