Using USB Hubs, Keyboards and Scanners
The printer supports USB hubs, keyboards and scanners. Any USB hub, Windows™
keyboard or number pad can be used with the USB-A port. Only USB scanners that
provide a keyboard-wedge interface can be used.
Keyboards and scanners can be used for menu navigation and data entry with menus
and stored formats. This allows for a stand-alone application when used in conjunction
with the printer’s LCD display.
Using a USB Flash Drive

the printer using its USB-A connector. Note that the printer must be running version

printer loads les in the following order: 1) Settings, 2) Objects, and 3) Firmware.
