ABOUT USB MEMORY
USB memory devices are available with a variety of memory capacities to give you more room for storing documents, presentations, downloaded music and videos, high resolution photographs, or whatever other files you want to store or move.
You can do the following on your printer using a USB memory device:
•Scan documents and save them on a USB memory device.
•Print data stored on a USB memory device.
•Back up Address Book / Phone Book entries and the system settings of your printer.
•Restore backup files to the printer’s memory.
•Format the USB memory device.
•Check the available memory space.
PLUGGING IN A USB MEMORY DEVICE
The USB connector on the front of your printer is designed for USB V1.1 and USB V2.0 memory devices. Your printer supports USB memory devices with FAT16/ FAT32 and sector size of 512 bytes.
Check your USB memory device’s file system from your dealer.
You must use only an authorized USB memory device with an A plug type connector.
Use only a metal/shielded USB memory device.

SCANNING TO A USB MEMORY DEVICE
You can scan a document and save the scanned image onto a USB memory device. There are two ways of doing this: you can scan to the device using the default settings, or you can customize your own scan settings.
Scanning
1.Insert a USB memory device into the USB connector on your printer.
2.Load originals face up into the DADF, or place a single original face down on the scanner glass.
For details about loading an original. See "Loading originals" on page 23.
3.Press Scan/Email.
4.Press OK when Scan to USB appears on the bottom line of the display.
5.Press OK, Color Start (
) or Black Start (
) when USB appears. Regardless of the button you press, the color mode is decided as customized. See "Customizing scan to USB" on page 53.
Your printer begins scanning the original, and then asks if you want to scan another page.
