Solution
This section describes how to print from storage devices. You can print data from a storage device, such as an SD Card, by directly inserting it into the machine and selecting the desired image on the display. You do not need to connect the machine to your computer.
NOTE
The Direct Print function is available only for the imageCLASS MF9170C.
The Storage Devices listed below are compatible with this machine.
| USB Memory/Memory cards that can be directly inserted into the slot: | |
 |  USB Memory |
 | SD Secure Digital memory cardSDHC memory card |
 | Compact Flash (CF) Card: supports Type I/II (3.3 V)Microdrive |
 | Memory StickMemory Stick PRO |
| Memory cards that can be inserted in the slot using an adapter: | |
 | miniSD Card*1 |
 | microSD Card*2 |
 | Memory Stick Duo*1Memory Stick PRO Duo*1 |
*1 Use the special adapter supplied with the card.
*2 Use an "SD Card Adapter" supplied with the card.
IMPORTANT
If one of the memory cards that require an adapter is inserted without the adapter, the card may get stuck in the slot. Be sure to attach an adapter to the memory card before inserting it into the slot.
When you use the Direct Print function, note the following:
- Supported file systems are FAT 16 and FAT 32.
- Supported file formats are JPEG and TIFF.
- You can not select data from multiple folders at a time.
- If the length of the full path to the specified file (or folder) is too long, the machine cannot read the data from that file (or folder).
NOTE
TIFF images cannot be scaled for printing. If a TIFF image does not fit within the selected paper size, part of the image will be cut off.
CAUTION
- When a storage device is inserted into the slot, the access lamp lights up. Do not touch the storage device at this point because the machine is accessing to the data in the storage device. Doing so may damage the machine and the storage devices.
- When inserted, some storage devices protrude from the slot. Do not force them into the slot any further. Doing so may damage the machine and the storage devices.
- Make sure that the storage device is correctly oriented before inserting it into the slot. Forcing an improperly positioned storage device into the slot may damage the machine and the storage devices.
- Depending on the SD card, it may take a few seconds for the machine to discover it.
Insert only one storage device into the slot. Confirm that the Access lamp has lit up.
