How do I switch to and use the mass storage mode?
The mass storage feature allows you to send a file to the printer using the USB interface, without installing a printer driver.
This feature is useful for:
- Applying printer settings saved in a command file (.bin file format) or adding templates (.blf file format) into the printer without using any software tools. Both types of files must be distributed by an administrator.
- Executing commands without installing the printer driver.
- Using a device with an Operating System (including non-Windows operating systems) that has a USB host feature to print and transmit data.
- Confirm that the printer is turned off.
