Note – If a file or folder to be transferred already has an item with a matching file
name, but different contents on the display, the destination item will be renamed to a
backup name generated by appending the item’s last-modified date to its file name.
Files and folders matching this backup naming convention, generated by a previous
“to USB” operation, will NOT be transferred from the USB flash drive to the
display.
1. Press Add from USB.
Data in the “\Machine Control Data\MachineName” folder and sub-folders,
