3. A file saved as a printing image will not be deleted even if GT Simulator is exited Because of that files saved as printing images will accumulate on the personal computer s hard disk and the GT Simulator may not operate due to a lack of available open space on the hard disk If the printing trigger is frequently set to ON and monitor data is used check that there is enough available open space on the personal computer s hard disk and delete printing files if necessary If Wordpad or Memopad were used to open saved printing image files TXT files the display of the character spacing may be slightly out of line If the character spacing is out of line adjust the character font or font size With the recipe function if there is a recipe file present in the PC card a new recipe file will not be created as with the actual GOT Because of that if there is a recipe file in the MemCard or Recipe folder that differs from the read monitor data s recipe function settings reading data from or writing data to the recipe file may not operate normally In these cases delete the recipe files in the MemCard or Recipe folder before reading the monitor data Also if you put a check in the Delete recipe file after reading check box under Option Operation Settings before reading the monitor data the recipe files in the MemCard or Recipe folder will automatically be deleted when the monitor data is read However all recipe files in the
