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.

The following flash drives are tested and approved for use with the printer:

• Lexar FireFly (512 MB or 1GB)

• SanDisk Cruizer Micro (512 MB or 1 GB)

• Sony (512 MB or 1GB)

Notes:

• Hi-Speed flash drives must support the USB 2.0 specification, specifically supporting the High Speed mode.
• USB devices must support the FAT (File Allocation Tables) system. Flash drives formatted with NTFS (New Technology File System) or any other file system are not supported.
• Before printing an encrypted .pdf file, you will be prompted to enter the file password from the printer control panel.
• You cannot print files for which you do not have printing permissions.
• Some USB drives and USB hubs are not supported.

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. When the current job is completed, touch the USB icon 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, but you still want to print files from the flash drive, then go to the home screen, touch the USB icon, and print the files.
