just the graph, the data table, your own notes, the lab instructions, or the screen as it is

attempting to print.
Use an External SD Card or USB Flash Drive with LabQuest
LabQuest will recognize additional storage space in a
connected SD (Secure Digital) card or a USB flash
drive. The drive or card may be formatted in FAT16 or
FAT32 (the most common Windows and Mac OS
formats) for reading and writing. LabQuest cannot read
NTFS- or HFS+-formatted drives.
In the Save, Open or Export dialogs, additional storage
space on an SD card or a USB drive will show up as an
additional icons. Tap to switch to the SD card or USB
drive. You will see any existing directories (folders) on the device. Double-tap to open a
directory. Tap the up arrow to go up a directory. Tap the LabQuest icon to switch back to
the internal storage space. You cannot create directories within LabQuest App, but you can
use directories that already exist on the SD card or USB drive.
Tip: Wait a few seconds before using the File menu after inserting a USB drive or an SD
card for the LabQuest OS to find the device, or the storage won’t show up as available.
Tip: Organize your files on a USB drive or SD card by creating any needed folders on a
computer before you use the drive or card with LabQuest.
