Configuration Backup Operation Guide

Back up the system configuration using a USB drive to ensure important settings and files are safely archived, preventing accidental loss.

Backup Preparation

USB Drive Requirements

  • Formatted with the FAT32 file system
  • Recommended capacity of 8GB or higher
  • Ensure the USB drive has sufficient free space

Folder Creation

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

  1. First, create a printer_data folder on the root directory of the USB drive
  2. Then, create three subfolders inside the printer_data folder:
printer_data/
├── config/
├── logs/
└── gcodes/

Operation Tips:

  1. Right-click on the root directory of the USB drive, create a new folder and name it printer_data
  2. Double-click to enter the printer_data folder
  3. Create three new 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 of the device
    • 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 using a computer to confirm the backup was successful
Important Notes
  • If there are 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 files can be overwritten
  • Do not remove the USB drive during the backup process to avoid data corruption
  • Regular backups can minimize the risk of data loss
