The USB Host port allows you to connect USB devices — such as a keyboard, scanner, or USB Flash (memory) drive to the printer.
The USB Host Port (1) supports:
Firmware updates
File transfers and management using a USB Flash drive
A port for low-power USB data entry devices (keyboards, scales, scanners, and other wedge devices).
Supports USB Flash drives (or thumb drive or memory stick) up to 1 Terabyte (TB). The printer will not recognize drives larger than 1 TB.
The USB Flash drive must be formatted with the FAT file system. Filenames maybe 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters (A, a, B, b, C, c, ..., 0, 1, 2, 3, ...) only. Only use ASCII characters. Do not use Asian characters, Cyrillic characters, or accented characters in file names. Some functions may not work properly if there are underscores in a file name. Use periods instead.
