Using Files From An External Source; Importing A File; Exporting A File - Brady M610 User Manual

Using Files from an External Source

You can use labels, csv lists, or bmp graphics created on a computer or a different M610 Label Printer
and stored on a USB drive. Labels can be imported from a USB drive to the printer or you can open the
label file directly from the USB drive. Lists and graphics, however, must be imported to the printer
before they can be used.
Note: Software files cannot be imported to the printer.

Importing a File

To import a file created and stored on an external device:
1. Attach the external device to the printer.
2. Press FN + File.
3. Select Import, which is only displayed if the external device is attached.
4. Select the type of file to import: Label, List, or Graphics.
5. Using folder and file navigation techniques, select the file to import from the external device
and press ENTER.
For lists and graphics, the import is complete.
6. If importing a label file, on the Select Destination screen select the destination folder on the
printer where you want to store the imported file and press ENTER.
Label files can be stored in any folder on the printer. However, list files (.csv) and graphic files
(.bmp) are stored in specific folders used by the List and Graphics functions. These folders are
unavailable to the user. When importing a list or a graphic, the destination screen does not
display.
Imported files retain the original file name the first time they are imported. If imported more than once,
" - Copy [#]" is attached to the file name (where # is a number indicating how many times the file has
been imported). This prevents a file from overwriting another file with the same name.
You can open an imported Label file through the File/Open function (see
List (.csv) files can be opened through the Merge feature of the List function.
Graphics (.bmp) files can be viewed and accessed through the Graphics function.

Exporting a File

Files created on the printer, or previously imported from an external device, can in turn be exported
back to an external device.
To export a file currently on the printer to an external device:
1. First, attach the external device to the printer.
2. Press FN + File.
3. Select Export.
4. Select the type of file to export: Label, List, or Graphics.
5. Using folder and file navigation techniques, select the file to export to the external device.
