Image Loading and Distribution
The entry-level Imagestore 750 provides storage for up to 4000 full-screen
images with their associated keys. Each animated clip is counted as one

maximum of full-screen images in the library.
Images (.oxt), animations and Easytext (.oxa) files saved to a USB stick from

manual user guide.
