Exercise 2: Print a Label Format from a USB Flash Drive

This exercise uses the Print USB File menu on a ZD family printer with the Color-Touch Display option to allow you to print files from a USB mass storage device, such as a USB Flash drive.
Only printable files (
.ZPL
and
.XML
) may be printed from the USB mass storage device, and the files must be located at the root level, not in a directory.
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.
