How do I switch to and use the mass storage mode?
The mass storage feature allows you to execute commands and perform JPEG printing by sending data from a computer to the printer via USB. Files that have been copied to the printer’s mass storage area are processed when you press the Bluetooth® button (for RJ-3050/3050Ai) or the [OK] button (for RJ-3150/3150Ai).
This feature is useful in the following situations:
- When you want to apply settings that are stored in a command file (“.bin” format) or templates that are stored in “.blf” format files that were distributed by the administrator without using a customized tool
- When you want to execute commands or perform JPEG printing without installing the printer driver
- When you want to use a device with an OS (including non-Windows operating systems) that has a USB host feature to print and transmit data
- Confirm that the printer is turned off.
