Printing/Saving Files on USB Memory Devices

This section describes how to print or save files on a USB memory device.
Even if this machine is not connected to a computer or the printer driver is not installed on the computer, you can still save files on a USB memory device and print them from this machine. You can also save documents scanned on this machine to a USB memory device, which is useful for transferring files to a computer not connected to the network.
IMPORTANT
Before inserting a USB memory device, check that it is oriented correctly. Attempting to insert a USB memory device incorrectly could cause this machine or the USB memory device to malfunction.
Always follow the correct procedure when removing a USB memory device. Failing to do so could cause this machine or the USB memory device to malfunction.
This machine only supports FAT32 or exFAT format USB memory devices.
NOTE
To use a USB memory device, specify the following settings from this machine's control panel. You must log in as an administrator to specify these settings. Logging In as an Administrator

Inserting a USB Memory Device

Insert the USB memory device into the USB port on this machine.
A message indicating that a USB memory device is connected and an eject key () appears on the machine's control panel. (Depending on this machine's status and the login service being used, the message may not appear.)

Check the location of the USB port as it may differ depending on your model.
If (Settings/Registration)  <Function Settings> <Store/Access Files> <Memory Media Settings>  <Select Option When Connecting Memory Media> is set to <On>, shortcuts for the available functions may appear when a USB memory device is inserted.
Because the shortcuts may not appear depending on the machine's sleep status, recover the machine from sleep mode before inserting a USB memory device.
