HP CM1415fnw Color manual Feature Description, Supported USB Storage Devices and Protocols

FEATURE DESCRIPTION

Walk up USB printing is a new feature on the latest HP LaserJet printers and MFPs. This allows customers to print supported file formats directly from a supported USB storage device and does not require the printer to be connected to a PC. The supported file formats for Walk Up USB Printing are PDF, PRN and PS. These are the only supported file formats that can be printed.

The USB port located on the exterior part of the printer supports walk up printing and does not support third party solutions. For a list of the supported HP partner solutions for host USB please go to www.hp.com/go/ipgsolutions .

When a user installs a USB storage device into a printer that is turned on and operating normally (no error messages) the control panel will display READING USB ACCESSORY and then display the stored job menu for USB STORAGE1 where the user can see a list of the folders and printable files stored on the USB storage device. From this list, the user can select the files and number of copies to be printed. After queuing a file, the user can continue to select other files to print by pressing the “OK” button. The printable files on the USB storage device can also be viewed by pressing the folder button on the control panel or press the menu button and scroll to retrieve jobs.

SUPPORTED USB STORAGE DEVICES AND PROTOCOLS

The USB Walk Up Printing feature only supports:

•USB 2.0

•NAND Flash Memory devices

•File formats FAT, FAT 16 or FAT 32

•Size 128 MG to 2 GB

USB storage devices are dynamic and their internal components change frequently. Two USB storage devices that appear to be the exact same may have different internal components allowing one device to work with the USB Walk Up Printing feature while the other device does not work. The quality of the internal components and the 2.0 certification will be important factors in how the device functions with the printer. Please contact the USB manufacturer for support or questions about the device specifications and certifications.

The Walk Up Printing feature supports multi-partition devices. However, only one partition will be accessible to the user for printing files. The partition that is accessible will be the first supported partition type on the device that the printer detects. For example, devices with the popular U3 partitioning and software are not fully supported but the printer will try to detect a supported partition type and allow the user to access files in that partition.

For each USB version different modes can be supported. The Walk Up Printing feature is designed to work with devices that support Bulk-Only Transport (BBB or BOT) and Control-Bulk-Interrupt (CBI).

SUPPORTED FILE FORMATS

The Walk Up USB supports three file types, PDF, PRN and PS. These files cannot be encrypted or password protected. If they are encrypted or password protected the file cannot be printed. The printer cannot read encrypted files and the user will not be able to enter a password to access the file.

PDF (Portable Document Format) up to version 1.4 is supported on the walk up USB. PDF is a print ready file format that was created by Adobe. The format is typically created with Adobe software.
