Printing from a flash drive

A USB port is located on the printer control panel. Insert a flash drive to print supported file types. Supported file types include: .pdf, .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, .bmp, .png, .tiff, .tif, .pcx, and .dcx.

Many flash drives are tested and approved for use with the printer. For more information, visit the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com.

Notes:

• Hi-Speed flash drives must support the Full-speed standard. Flash drives supporting only USB Low-speed capabilities are not supported.
• USB devices must support the FAT (File Allocation Tables) system. Devices formatted with NTFS (New Technology File System) or any other file system are not supported.
• If selecting an encrypted .pdf file, then enter the file password from the printer control panel.
• Before printing an encrypted .pdf file, enter the file password from the printer control panel.
• You cannot print files for which you do not have printing permissions.

To print from a flash drive:

1. Make sure the printer is on and Ready appears.

2. Insert a flash drive into the USB port.

   

   Notes:

   • If you insert the flash drive when the printer requires attention, such as when a jam has occurred, then the printer ignores the flash drive.
   • If you insert the flash drive while the printer is printing other jobs, then Printer Busy appears. After the other jobs are processed, you may need to view the held jobs list to print documents from the flash drive.

3. Touch the document you want to print.

   Note: Folders found on the flash drive appear as folders. File names are appended by the extension type (for example, .jpg).

4. Touch the arrows if you want to increase the number of printed copies.

5. Touch Print.

   Note: Do not remove the flash drive from the USB port until the document has finished printing.

   If you leave the flash drive in the printer after leaving the initial USB menu screen, then you can still print .pdf files from the flash drive as held jobs.
