Basic Procedure for Saving Scan Files on a Removable Memory Device

Important

  • This machine supports FAT16 or FAT32 format USB flash memory and SD cards. Other forms of removable memory device are not compatible.

  • SD cards with storage capacity up to 32GB can be used.

  • Make sure that the format of the removable memory device is FAT16 or FAT32.

  • Saving might fail if the USB flash memory features password protection or other security features.

  • Connect only USB flash memory to the USB slot, not any other form of USB device.

  • Do not use a USB extension cable to connect a USB memory to the machine. Insert the USB memory directly into the media slot.

  • Do not remove the media while data is being written. Doing so will result in corrupted data.

  • Do not turn the machine's main power switch to off while data is being written. Doing so will result in corrupted data.

  • If the machine's main power is accidentally switched off while data is being written, you must check the data on your media for corruption when you switch the machine back on.

  • USB flash memory devices and SD cards are supported for direct printing. However, certain types of USB flash memory devices and SD cards cannot be used. For details, contact your sales or service representative.

1Press the [Home] key on the top left of the control panel, and press the [Scanner] icon on the [Home] screen.

9If necessary, select [Send Settings] or [Original], and specify the scan settings according to the original to be scanned.

  • If the removable memory device is partitioned, files are saved on the first partition.

  • You cannot configure file information such as [User Name], [File Name], and [Password].
