Importing a Menu from a Mapped
Drive (i5 Only)

i-Series ovens can save binary menu files to a USB
device. To open these files in ChefComm,

1. Connect the USB device to your computer.

2. Using your file browser, locate the menu file.

3. Create a folder titled 

TC_Menus

and place the 

binary menu file in it. This folder must be top-
level on the USB device.

4. Ensure the menu file name is 

MENU.BIN

.

5. From the main ChefComm window, select 

Oven > Data Transfer > Import from 
Mapped Drive

(Figure 36).

6. Select the drive letter to which the USB 

device is assigned.

NOTE: ChefComm does not provide descriptions
next to drive letters. To identify a drive letter, view
its description in a regular file browser.

7. Click 

OK

to import the file.

8. Click 

OK

to acknowledge that the import was 

successful.

Exporting a Menu to a Mapped Drive

USB device. To create a binary menu file using
ChefComm,

Oven > Data Transfer > Export to 

Mapped Drive

(Figure 37).

4. Select the drive letter to which the USB device is

store the file in a top-level folder called 
“TC_Menus.”

retain the existing file, move it to a different 
location and rename it.
