📅 Feature Version Log:

💾 Configuration Backup Operation Guide​

Back up system configurations via 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 available space

Folder Creation​

  • Create folders in the USB drive's root directory according to the following structure:
  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 in the USB drive's root directory → New Folder, name it printer_data.
  2. Double-click to enter the printer_data folder.
  3. Create three new folders separately: 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 begin the backup process.

  2. Automatic Backup

    • The system will copy all files from the corresponding folders inside the device.
    • They will be automatically copied to the three corresponding subfolders within 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 already 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 minimize the risk of data loss.
