Import or Export Files

You can use labels, .csv lists, or .bmp graphics created on a computer or a different M510 or M710 printer and stored on a USB drive. Lists and graphics must be imported to the printer before they can be used.
 
Note: Software files cannot be imported to the printer. However, files created in Brady Workstation can be put on the printer as a print job: M510 / M710 - Save Files Created with Brady Workstation to the Printer.
 
Import a File
 
  1. Attach the external device to the printer.
 
  1. Press FN + File.
 
  1. Select Import. Import only displays if the external device is attached.
 
  1. Select the type of file to import: Label, List, or Graphics.
 
  1. Using folder and file navigation techniques, select the file to import from the external device. Press OK button.png or double-tap the file. For lists and graphics, the import is complete. 
 
  1. 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. Press OK button.png or double-tap the folder.
 
Label files can be stored in any folder on the printer. 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 they are imported more than once, " - Copy [#]" is attached to the file name; # indicates how many times the file has been imported. This prevents the file from overwriting another file with the same name. 

Open an imported label file: M510 / M710 - Open or Delete a File.
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. M510 / M710 - Import and Add Graphics

  1. Connect the external device to the printer. 
 
  1. Press FN + File.
 
  1. Select Export.
 
  1. Select the type of file to export: Label, List, or Graphics.
 
  1. Using folder and file navigation techniques, select the file to export to the external device, and press OK button.png.
 
  1. On the Select Destination screen, navigate to the destination folder where you want to store the exported file on the external device.
 
  1. In the field at the bottom of the screen that is automatically filled in with <New Folder>, enter the name for the file to export, then press OK button.png.
