Inserting memory cards

Press the  On button to turn on the CX6500.

Open the memory card slot cover.

Make sure the memory card light beside the memory card slot is off, then insert a memory card as far as it can go into the appropriate slot.

Note:
You can load only one memory card at a time.

Close the memory card slot cover.

Caution:
  • Do not try to squeeze the memory card into the slot. Memory cards cannot be fully inserted into the card slots.
  • Loading a memory card incorrectly may damage the CX6500, the memory card, or both.
  • Keep the memory card slot cover closed while the memory card is loaded. This protects the memory card and the slot from dust and static; otherwise data on the memory card may be lost, or the CX6500 may be damaged.
  • Depending on the memory card loaded in the CX6500, the static charge on the memory card may cause it to malfunction.

Note:
If the memory card is inserted incorrectly, the memory card light does not go on.

If the images are stored on the memory card, the following message appears. Press the D or OK button.

Ejecting memory cards

Make sure that all the print jobs are finished and the memory card light is not flashing.

Open the memory card slot cover.

Make sure that the CX6500 is not accessing the memory card (the memory card slot light is not flashing), then eject the memory card by pulling it straight out of the slot after printing is finished.

Caution:
  • Do not remove the memory card or turn off the CX6500 while the printing or while the memory card light is flashing. Data on the memory card may be lost.
  • If you are using the CX6500 with a computer which has Windows 2000 or XP installed, never turn it off or disconnect the USB cable with a memory card inserted in the card slot; this may destroy data on the memory card. See Disconnecting or Turning off the CX6500 for details.
