Flashing Canon's with a thumb drive

[rednecktek]

Could anyone tell me what brand of thumb drives will work on Canon copiers? Guess I need brand, size, and FAT, FAT32 etc. Thanks in advance.

I use a 8GB SANDISK CRUSER , and used the 4GB version of the same drive before that. Both work fine. Formatted FAT32.

I remove all hidden programs on any thumb drive/ on some thumb drives even if u format them, hidden programs remain, check manufactures web site for directions on removal. better to be safe than sorry,

USB Memory Device specifications are as follows:
1. USB 2.0 or a higher Interface
2. 1 GB or more capacity
3. FAT (FAT16), FAT32 format
4. Single partition


U3 Smart Drives are not recommended for flashing the machines because they come preinstalled with the U3 Launchpad, which emulates the Windows OS start menu, and controls program installation.
