Configuration Backup Operation Guide

Back up system configurations via a USB drive to ensure that important settings and files are securely archived and protected from accidental loss.

Backup Preparation

USB Drive Requirements

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

Folder Creation

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

1. First, create the 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 in the USB drive root directory, 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, and gcodes.

Backup Execution Steps

1. Insert the USB Drive

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

2. Automatic Backup

   • The system will copy all files from the corresponding internal folders of the device.
   • These files will be automatically copied 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 files with the same name already exist in the folders on the USB drive, they will be overwritten.
• It is recommended to use an empty USB drive or ensure that the existing 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.
