Saving Data
To Overwrite an Existing File
If you want to overwrite a file that already exists
on the USB storage device, use the dial or the
[INC/YES] and [DEC/NO] buttons to select the
file, then skip ahead to step 6.
If the USB storage device has been write-protected, an appropriate
message will appear on the display and you will not be able to exe-
cute the operation.
If there is not enough capacity left on the USB storage device to
save the data, an appropriate message will appear on the display
and you will not be able to save the data. Erase unwanted files from
the USB storage device to make more memory available (page 72),
or use a different USB device.
Refer to the “Messages” list on page 83 for other possible errors that
might prevent you from completing the operation.
