Back up system configurations via USB drive to ensure important settings and files are safely archived, preventing accidental loss.

Backup Preparation

USB Drive Requirements

• Formatted as FAT32 file system
• Recommended capacity of 8GB or more
• Ensure sufficient available space on the USB drive

Folder Creation

• Create folders on the USB drive root directory according to the following structure:

1. First, create a printer_data folder in the USB drive root directory
2. Then, create three subfolders inside the printer_data folder:

printer_data/
├── config/
├── logs/
└── gcodes/

💡 Operation Tips:

1. Right-click on the USB drive root directory → New Folder, name it printer_data
2. Double-click to enter the printer_data folder
3. Create three folders respectively: config, logs, gcodes

Backup Execution Steps

1. Insert the USB Drive

   • Insert the prepared USB drive into the device's USB port
   • The system will automatically recognize it and start the backup process

2. Automatic Backup

   • The system will copy all files from the corresponding internal folders
   • Automatically to the three corresponding subfolders under the printer_data folder on the USB drive

3. Completion Verification

   • After the backup is complete, safely eject the USB drive
   • You can check the files on the USB drive via a computer to confirm the backup was successful

⚠️ Important Notes

• If files with the same name already exist in the USB drive folder, they will be overwritten
• It is recommended to use an empty USB drive or ensure files can be safely overwritten
• Do not remove the USB drive during the backup process to prevent data corruption
• Regular backups can minimize the risk of data loss
