Requirements for the use of USB sticks on Xerox multifunction devices
- Only USB sticks are supported. The use of other media (USB hard disks, SD adapters, ...) is not supported.
- USB sticks with multiple partitions are not supported.
- Subdirectories are supported
- It is recommended to limit the file names to 32 characters, as the printer only displays the first 32 characters of the file name.
- Only data carriers with FAT or VFAT or FAT32 file systems are supported. Data carriers with other file systems (NTFS, exFAT, EXT, HFS, etc.) are recognized, but are neither readable nor writable.
Under Windows 7, the type of file system can be determined via “Start” > “Computer” > right-click on the USB flash drive > “Properties”.
Under Windows 8, the type of file system can be determined via “This PC” > right-click on the USB flash drive > “Properties”.

Under Linux, the file system can be determined using the “mount” command.
The usual restrictions of these file systems apply with regard to path length, number of files and size
Restrictions of the file system:
| (V)FAT | FAT32 | |
| Maximale Dateigröße | 2GiB | 2GiB |
| Maximale Anzahl von Dateien im Stammverzeichnis | beschränkt auf max 512 bzw. 256, meist weniger abhängig von der Länge der Dateinamen (oft weniger als 128) | beschränkt auf 65534 |
| Maximale Pfadlänge (Zeichen) | 252 | 255 |
| Maximale Datenträgergröße (Windows) | 2GiB | 8TiB |
Although the theoretically possible or permitted values are sometimes higher, they often lead to problems.
