About the “Memory Stick”

What is “Memory Stick”?

“Memory Stick” is small, lightweighted, and next-generation IC storage media with a larger capacity than a floppy disc. You can use the

“Memory Stick” to exchange data among “Memory Stick” compatible devices. In addition, you can use the

“Memory Stick” as a removable external storage device to save your data.

Types of “Memory Stick”

Following types of “Memory Stick” are available for versatile purposes.

• “Memory Stick”: “Memory Stick” can store all types of data except for the one that requires the

“MagicGate” copyright protection technology.

• “Memory Stick (with memory

select function)”: “Memory Stick

(with memory select function)” incorporates multiple 128MB memory units, which can be selected by a user via a mechanical switch on the reverse side of the media. Each memory unit can be used to categorize various types of data.

You cannot select multiple memory units together or continuously.

• “MagicGate Memory Stick” :

“MagicGate Memory Stick ” employs the “MagicGate” copyright protection technology.

• “Memory Stick PRO” : “Memory

Stick PRO” employs the

“MagicGate” copyright protection technology and can be used only with “Memory Stick PRO” compliant devices.

• “Memory Stick-ROM”: “Memory

Stick-ROM” is the read-only

“Memory Stick” storing the data.

You cannot save or delete its data.

On “Memory Stick Duo”

“Memory Stick Duo” is smaller than the standard-sized “Memory Stick”. When inserted into the Memory Stick Duo adaptor, the “Memory Stick Duo” is the same size as the standard-sized

“Memory Stick”, and can be used with

“Memory Stick” compliant devices.

• When using the “Memory Stick Duo” on the printer, make sure to insert the “Memory Stick Duo” into the

Memory Stick Duo adaptor and then insert the adaptor containing the

“Memory Stick Duo” into the printer.

• Before using the “Memory Stick

Duo”, check the correct direction to insert the “Memory Stick Duo”. If you attempt to insert it in a wrong direction, the “Memory Stick Duo” and the printer may be damaged.

• Never insert the Memory Stick Duo adaptor that contains no “Memory

Stick Duo” into a “Memory Stick”compatible device. If you do, the device may be damaged.

On data read/write speed

The data read/write speed differs depending on the combination of the

“Memory Stick” and the device you use.

What is “MagicGate”?

“MagicGate” is the copyright protection technology that works when both the

“Memory Stick” and the device employ the technology. The “MagicGate”compatible device and the “MagicGate

Memory Stick” attest that each other supports the “MagicGate” technology and encode the data they exchange.

The printer does not support the

“MagicGate” standards and cannot read or write the data subject to the

“MagicGate” copyright protection.

Notes on use

• When you slide the write protect switch to the write protect position, you cannot record, edit, or delete the data.

• When you slide the write protect switch of the “Memory Stick Duo”, use a thin-pointed device.
