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, .xps, and .dcx.
Many flash drives are tested and approved for use with the printer.

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 front 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 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.

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

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

the flash drive as held jobs.
