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.
