To use File Transfer mode, press the PRINTER button until the LED on the computer port turns green. When the LED turns green, the port is ready for file transfer mode. For file transfer mode to be successful for both PCs, both computer ports must be set to file transfer mode – which is evident when the LEDs next to 1 and 2 are green. For more information on File Transfer, please see page 25.

Note: Computer 1 can only file transfer to computer 2, and computer 3 can file transfer to computer 4. If you change the ports manually using the buttons, the changes made will not be reflected in the software.
