6 File Management
A label can be saved as a file, to be opened and reused at a later date. Follow the instructions in this
chapter to save, open, and delete files.
Saving Labels Created on the Printer
You can save labels as internal or external files.
• Internal files are stored directly on the printer.
• External files are stored on some external device, such as a USB drive.
File Naming Standards
To create a file on the M410 printer, the file must be given a name. Names can be up to 20 characters
long and can consist of letters, numbers, and spaces.
When creating files, remember this rule: You cannot have two files with the same name. If you do, the
most recent file with the name will overwrite the previous file with that name. A one-character
difference in the name creates a different file and will not overwrite a previous file.
Folders
To better organize your data, place similar label files into folders. Similar files could consist of all labels
for a specific project, or all files that use the same label supply, or specific label applications.
Instructions on creating or selecting a folder are within the instructions for saving a file below.
