USB Storage Print allows you to save secure print data to the USB flash drive and print them later by entering a password on the machine's control panel.
NOTE

USB flash drive requirements:

  • Storage Size: 1 GB or more (Recommended: 16 GB or more)
  • Format: FAT32/exFAT
  • Data stored on a USB flash drive is encrypted, but this may not protect it from unauthorised access in all circumstances. Make sure you securely manage and store your data and USB flash drive.
  • Data on a USB flash drive can only be read on the machine whose data it stores. You cannot read the data on another machine, device, or computer.
  • When you no longer need the USB flash drive to store the data from your machine and want to use it for other purposes, delete all stored data, and format the USB flash drive on your computer. To format or clean the USB flash drive, refer to its user manual for instructions.
