Attaching a USB Storage Device

Now your printer is ready to accept print jobs like any other printer on your system.

If you elect not to use the USB-A port for printing, then it is available to you to attach another USB storage device, like a ﬂash disk. Once your storage device is attached and installed to the connected NAS drive, you can drag and drop ﬁles to it like any other storage device.

These types of USB storage devices can be attached:

•Flash Disk

•Hard Drive

•Memory Card Reader

Follow these steps to attach and use your USB storage device:

1. Attach the USB cable from your device (or the USB connector attached to your device) to the USB-A connector on the rear panel of the NAS drive.

2. If your device is self-powered, turn on the power to your device.

3. Your device should now be visible through your ﬁle browser. If it is not immediately visible it may mean that it is not formatted in a format compatible with the NAS drive. In this case you must take the additional step outlined in Step 4.

4.You must reformat the device using the administration tool before NAS drive will recognize it.

BEFORE PROCEEDING, MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU HAVE

SAFELY SAVED ALL OF YOUR DEVICE’S DATA TO ANOTHER STORAGE DEVICE.

Enter the administration tool and go to the screen at Control Panel / Maintenance / Disk Utility. Highlight your device in the list of devices. Its Mount Point will be /mnt/USBx where x is a sequence number. Select the FAT32 Format Type in the drop- down menu. Now press the Format button. You will be prompted to conﬁrm. Press YES to continue. After successfully reformatting your device, you can logout of the administration tool and again look for the device in your ﬁle browser.

Now you can drag and drop ﬁles to your USB storage device like any other storage device on your system. Access to the attached USB storage device is not password protected.
