Using USB Hubs, Keyboards and Scanners
The printer supports USB hubs, keyboards and scanners. Any USB hub, Windows™
keyboard or number pad can be used with the USB-A port. Only USB scanners that
provide a keyboard-wedge interface can be used.
Keyboards and scanners can be used for menu navigation and data entry with menus
and stored formats. This allows for a stand-alone application when used in conjunction
with the printer’s LCD display.
Using a USB Flash Drive
This section describes use of a USB flash drive to load firmware, objects and settings to
the printer using its USB-A connector. Note that the printer must be running version
1.30 or higher to load firmware and 1.40 or higher to load objects and settings. The
printer loads files in the following order: 1) Settings, 2) Objects, and 3) Firmware.
