D Using a USBFlash Drive for FileTransfer
Transferring files to the USB flash drive
Note – If a file or folder to be transferred already has an item with a matching file
name, but different contents on the USB flash drive, the destination item will be
renamed to a backup name generated by appending the item’s last-modified date to
its file name.
1. Press To USB.
Only files that have been generated or modified on the control box transfer to
the “Machine Control Data” folder on the USB flash drive and are written to
the machine’s sub-folder. The machine’s sub-folder name is the same as the
machine name set on the control box.
The following table describes the action that is applied to each file type during
a file transfer to the USB flash drive.
