Archive/Delete Journal function allows you to specify the destination and date range for archiving audited electronic journal records. The range is based on the date a record was stored. All journal records that are marked as audited and prior to the specified date will be archived. If an external storage device is not available, it is possible to archive the journal records to internal flash memory (see the WARNING).

1   Archive location: This option selects where the archived audited journal records will be saved. Press 1 to select the destination of the archived file. The available options are None (Delete), Internal Flash, or USB Device.

    The default value is None (Delete) where audited records prior to the specified date will be deleted and no archive is created. Once deleted, the selected audited records cannot be retrieved. This option can be used after all applicable records have been archived to an external storage device and internal memory needs to be freed up on the main board.

2   Archive records prior to: By default, the current date appears in the data entry field. To specify a different date, enter it in the format MMDDYYYY. All journal entries that have been recorded before the specified date will be saved to an archive file.
