About USB memory device

USB memory devices are available with a variety of memory capacities to give you more room for storing documents, presentations, music and videos, high resolution photographs, or whatever other files you want to store or move.

You can do the following on your machine using a USB memory device:

  • Scan documents and save them on a USB memory device.

  • Print data stored on a USB memory device.

  • Format the USB memory device.

Your machine supports USB memory devices with FAT16/FAT32 and sector size of 512 bytes.

Check your USB memory device’s file system from your dealer.

You must use only an authorized USB memory device with an A plug type connector.

Use only a USB memory device with metal-shielded connector.

Only use a USB memory device that has obtained compatibility certification; otherwise, the machine might not recognize it.

Insert a USB memory device into the USB memory port on your machine.

[Note]

Do not insert the USB memory device into other ports except the ports shown in the image below. If you insert the USB memory into other ports, the machine shows a warning message on the display screen.
[Caution]

  • Do not remove the USB memory device while it is in use. The machine warranty does not cover damage caused by a user’s misuse.

  • If your USB memory device has certain features, such as security settings and password settings, your machine may not automatically detect it. For details about these features, see the USB memory device’s User’s Guide.

Printing from a USB memory device

You can directly print files stored on a USB memory device. You can print TIFF, JPEG, and PRN files. You can select 50 files and print selected the files at once.

USB print option supported file types:

  • PRN: Only files created by provided driver with your machine are compatible. PRN files can be created by selecting the Print to file check box when you print a document. The document will be saved as a PRN file, rather than printed on paper. Only PRN files created in this fashion can be printed directly from USB memory device (see Printing to a file (PRN)).

  • TIFF: TIFF 6.0 Baseline

  • JPEG: JPEG Baseline

  • PDF: PDF 1.7 and below

  • XPS: .

[Note]

In case of 8-bit CMYK JPEG files, the job could be cancelled.

To print a document from a USB memory device:

  1. Insert a USB memory device into the USB memory port on your machine.

    Your machine automatically detects the device and reads data stored on it (see About USB memory device).

    [Note]

    • The machine cannot detect an unformatted USB memory device. Format, and then reinsert the USB memory device into the USB memory port on your machine.

    • The machine can not detect the USB memory device when the machine is in power save mode. Wait until the machine returns to ready mode, and then reinsert the USB memory device into the USB memory port on your machine.

    • The machine has two USB memory ports. When a USB memory device is already inserted in one of the port, if you try to insert a USB memory device in another ports, the machine cannot detect second one. Remove the USB memory device that was inserted first and then reinsert the USB memory device you want to insert into the USB memory port on your machine.

  2. Press USB from the display screen.

  3. The machine shows all the files in the USB memory device.

    Select the file you want to print. You can also select multiple files if you want to print multiple files.

    [Note]

    • If the file is in a folder, press the folder name. Then press Select.

    • If the PDF file you selected is secured with a password, you have to know the password for printing. Enter the password when the machine requires the secure password. If you do not know the password, the print job will be cancelled.

  4. Press Print.

  5. Press the appropriate option.

    • Copies: Selects the number of copies.

    • Color Mode: Selects the color mode of copies.

    • Duplex: Selects the machine to print copies on both sides of the paper.

    • Auto fit: Allows you to scale your print job to the selected paper size in the tray regardless of the document size. Select a tray, and press On.

    • Paper Source: Selects a tray that contains the paper to be printed.

    • Output: Sets the machine’s various output options such as copy output option (see Deciding the form of copy output).
