  • File names must not exceed 255 bytes (including the path name). Also, file names must not contain any character that the machine cannot display correctly.

  • JPEG format files can be displayed as thumbnails when they are in Exif or DCF format. An icon will be shown for any other type of file.

  • Following sizes of JPEG files can be printed:

    • Standard sizes: 8 × 10 in, Letter (81/2 × 11 in), 11 × 17 in, A3, A4, A5, A6, B4, B5, B6

    • Custom sizes: 2L (5 × 7 in), Postcard, 100 mm × 150 mm, 4 × 6 in

  • Custom size PDF files may not be printed using this function.

  • Print settings are effective for the format of the currently selected file, and will remain effective as long as the file of that format stays selected. The machine will remember an entered PDF password until you switch out of the printer function.

  • If you try to select a removable memory device that the machine has not recognized correctly, an error message will appear.
