🔧 Troubleshooting
- → USB not detected? Try a different USB port on the printer or re-insert it. Only front/side ports work.
- → File does not appear or won’t print? Make sure it is saved as a PDF. The Bizhub is very picky about file types.
- → “External Memory” option missing? Log in first and check the top of the screen for the notification bell 🛎.
- → “Unsupported format” error? Save the document again as PDF and try once more.
