Appendix C – Backup/Transfer Port
NOTE: This port may NOT be present on all MACH 6 Printers.
The USB port, located on the front of the printer, can be used to backup stored Print Jobs.
Backed-up Print Jobs can then be:
• Transferred (uploaded) to another MACH 6 printer.
• Uploaded to the current printer, to restore previously backed-up print jobs, in the case where there is a need
to replace the storage device within the printer.
NOTE: Stored Print Jobs are jobs that have been saved to printer memory for future use. See “Stored Jobs” for more
details on saving and using stored Print Jobs.
ATTENTION: Do NOT attempt to load Print Jobs, such as PDF files, using this Port. System damage will occur.
A technician may use this port to retrieve
all system/job/debug Log files from the
printer, so they can be archived for future
troubleshooting purposes.
Tip: Individual Job and Debug Log files
can be accessed from the printer’s
Toolbox (Service Menus).
NOTE: Backed-up Print Jobs will be
located under the \prns directory on the
USB Flash Drive. Backed-up Log files
will be located in the root directory. Log
files are in a zipped (*.tgz) format. These
files can be opened/unzipped using a zip
file utility, such as “7-Zip”.
This port is compatible with USB Flash Drives that have been formatted as “FAT32”.
CAUTION: Do NOT connect devices, other
than USB Flash Drives, to this port.
When a compatible USB Flash Drive is
connected to this port, you will be presented
with the following
“USB Storage Device Detected” screen.
Backup Logs – Use this feature to backup all system/job/debug Log files to the USB Flash Drive.
Backup Print Jobs – Use this feature to backup all “stored jobs” to the USB Flash Drive.
Upload Print Jobs – Use this feature to transfer all “stored jobs” from the USB Flash Drive to the printer.
Quit – Tap to exit/close this menu. It is now safe to remove the USB Flash Drive.
With UI version R0.2.02 and higher the following features are added to the above screen.
However, at the time of publication, these features were not fully vetted and should not be used until instructions on
proper use are provided.
