Putting Print Files On the SD Card
To print from the Graphic LCD you will need to transfer .gcode print files
onto the SD card. Follow the normal steps, as explained in the Slic3r
chapter, to create .gcode print files on your computer. Insert the SD card
into your computer using a SD reader slot or USB SD card reader. Open a
file browser / manager and locate the created .gcode files; drag and drop or
paste the .gcode files to the SD card. Once the files have transferred, eject
the SD card from your computer and insert it back into the SD card slot
on the left side of the Graphic LCD case.
