Printing from USB Memory (Memory Media Print)

You can print image files and PDF files stored in a USB memory device by connecting it directly to the machine. Using this function, you can print without using a computer.

Available File Formats

You can print the following types of image files.

JPEG (DCF/Exif 2.21 or earlier/JFIF)

TIFF (JPEG/MH/MR/MMR compression)

PDF


For JPEG and TIFF files, maximum printable data size per file1 is 20 MB2. For PDF files, maximum printable data size per file is 2 GB. Note that even some files smaller than the size described above may not be printed correctly. 1 For multi-page TIFF files, maximum data size is per page. 2 Setting <Secure Print Settings> to <Off> allows data of up to 50 MB to be printed (Secure Print Settings).

For JPEG and TIFF files, maximum printable data size per file*1 is 20 MB*2.

For PDF files, maximum printable data size per file is 2 GB.

Note that even some files smaller than the size described above may not be printed correctly.

*1 For multi-page TIFF files, maximum data size is per page.

*2 Setting <Secure Print Settings> to <Off> allows data of up to 50 MB to be printed (Secure Print Settings).

Available USB Memory Devices

You can use USB memory devices with the following format styles.

FAT16 (memory capacity: up to 2 GB)

FAT32 (memory capacity: up to 32 GB)


Do not use non-standard USB memory devices. You may not be able to print the images properly in some USB memory devices. USB memory devices cannot be connected via a USB hub or an extension cable. Do not use USB memory devices with special functions such as built-in security functions.


The USB port on the front of the machine supports USB 2.0. If a folder in a USB memory device has many files, scanning image files to print will take more time. Use your computer to delete unnecessary files on your USB memory device or move them to a different folder.

Connect a USB memory device to the USB port on the front of the machine.

Do not remove the USB memory device or shock or shake the device or the machine when data is being read or written. Also, do not turn OFF the machine while the processing is in progress.

<2-Sided> may not be available with some sizes or types of paper. Paper

<Print Quality>

You can change settings related to print quality.

Adjust the toner density to be used for printing. Make adjustment using

, and then tap <Apply>. Note that if <Toner Save> is set to <On>, you cannot set this item.

Making fine adjustment of toner density

Tapping <On> prints in toner saving mode. Select <On> when you want to check the layout or other appearance characteristics before proceeding to final printing of a large job.

<Set JPEG/TIFF Details>

Specify the default settings of the memory media print function for JPEG and TIFF files.

If you tap <On>, you can print the modification date of the file below each image.

Although <Print Date> is not available for Index Print, the modification date of the file is automatically printed below each image.

If you tap <On>, you can print the file name below each image.

Color data is converted to monochrome so that the resulting image looks like a television picture (of the NTSC system).

<Uniform RGB>

Color data is converted to monochrome so that R, G, and B are uniformly converted to the same gray level.

Prints text with clear edges to produce a fine print. This is suitable for printing text and thin lines.

Prints gradations and outlines with a smooth finish. This is suitable for printing figures and graphs that use gradations.

Enables you to perform even finer printing than <Resolution>, but with slightly less stable texture. This is suitable for printing text and thin lines or sharply printing the lines in CAD data.

You can select ways to convert color values to a grayscale value when you print color print data.

<sRGB>
