Description
The mass storage feature allows you to execute commands by sending data from a
computer or other device to the printer via USB. Files that have been copied to the
printer's mass storage area are processed when you press the Wi-Fi button.
This feature is useful in the following situations.
• When you want to apply settings that are stored in a command file (".bin" format) or
templates that are stored in ".blf" format files that were distributed by the administrator
without using a customized tool
• When you want to execute commands without installing the printer driver
• When you want to use a device with an OS (including non-Windows operating systems)
that has a USB host feature to print and transmit data
