Printing from a flash drive
A flash drive 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, .xps, and .dcx.
Many flash drives are tested and approved for use with the printer. For more information, visit the Lexmark Web site
Notes:
•
High-speed flash drives must support the full-speed USB standard. Flash drives supporting only USB low-speed
capabilities are not supported.
•
Flash drives 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, 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 flash drive port.
Notes:
•
If you insert the flash drive when the printer requires attention, such as when a jam has occurred, then the
printer ignores it.
•
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
Press the down arrow button until appears next to the document you want to print, and then press .
Note: Folders found on the flash drive appear as folders. File names are appended by the extension type (for
example, .jpg).
4
Press to print one copy, or enter the number of copies using the keypad, and then press to initiate the print
job.
If you leave the flash drive in the printer after leaving the initial USB menu screen, you can still print .pdf's from
the flash drive as held jobs.
