Which Memory PC Cards Are Recommended?
You can use Type I or Type II memory cards that have up to 64MB of memory
formatted with a DOS file allocation table (FAT). There are many types of
memory PC cards available. The memory cards you use on the JANUS reader
provide additional disk storage space, not more executable conventional
memory.
Intermec recommends using ATA, flash, or SRAM cards in your reader.
Choose the type of memory card that meets your data storage needs:
Memory Card Type of Data Storage
ATA Use an ATA flash card to store large amounts of data that change
frequently. ATA cards retain their data without the use of a
backup battery and are available in larger memory sizes.
Flash Use a flash card to store data that does not change as frequently.
Flash cards retain their data without the use of a backup battery.
SRAM Use an SRAM card to store data that changes frequently. An
SRAM card has a lithium battery to back up data for the life of
the battery.
Note: Intermec recommends that you use ATA and SRAM cards for most data storage
needs. You should only use a flash card as a low-cost alternative. If you use a flash
card, Intermec recommends flash cards that store 1MB or more of data.
Which Expansion Cards Are Recommended?
You can use Type II expansion or input/output (I/O) cards to connect the
reader to I/O devices. Modem cards and network cards are examples of I/O
cards. For a complete list of Intermec-supported PC cards, see your Intermec
sales representative.
