Back up system configuration using a USB drive to securely archive important settings and files, preventing accidental loss.

Backup Preparation

USB Drive Requirements

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

Folder Creation

• Create folders in the following structure under the USB drive's root directory:

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

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

💡 Operation Tip:

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 new folders: config, logs, and gcodes

Backup Execution Steps

1. Insert USB Drive

   • Insert the prepared USB drive into the device's USB port
   • The system will automatically detect and begin the backup process

2. Automatic Backup

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

3. Completion Verification

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

⚠️ Important Notes

• If there are already files with the same name in the USB drive's folders, they will be overwritten
• It is recommended to use an empty USB drive or ensure the existing files can be overwritten
• Do not remove the USB drive during the backup process to avoid data corruption
• Regular backups minimize the risk of data loss
