You can print files in the USB memory via a USB Host interface without starting the computer, installing the printer driver, or connecting the printer to a network.

Note:

If the USB Host setting on the control panel is set to OFF, this function cannot be used. Confirm the setting is set to ON in advance. If the printer is in the sleep mode, the USB memory may not be detected automatically. In that case, press any button on the control panel. We recommend using a USB memory that has less than 2 GB of memory. Accessing USB memories that have more than 2 GB of memory may take too long. If a large numbers of files are in the USB memory, accessing the USB memory may take too long. If accessing the USB memory takes too long, try formatting it to improve the access speed.

The printable file formats are JPG, TIF, PS, PDF. You can also print EPN formatted files created from the applications like MS Word or MS Excel by using USB Memory Print Maker, which is included in the printer software CD-ROM. See Creating direct printing data with USB memory for more information.

Note:

The EPN formatted files created by USB Memory Print Maker are printed in High Quality (Printer) mode regardless of the Printer Mode setting in the Extend Settings tab on the printer driver.
