    SD unable to display more than 1 file at a time.

    First off I am new to this venture and this forum. So thanks in advance for any answers or advice.

    My question or issue is, when placing files on my SD card, if I place a single file at a time on it. The printer sees and displays the file and I can print perfectly. However, if I place anymore than just one file onto the SD card, my printer does not display any of them. I do not know if it reads them, but it certainly doesn't display any files to print.

    Any one else having or had this issue? Any help is much appreciated.

    You may also have a problem with your SD card. Have you tried reformatting it and/or using a different card? Everyone now and then my printer throws a message at me, something like "sd reads aren't working well right now, try again later" or something similar. I remove and reinsert the card and all is well.
