SD Card
- The "LED 1" next to the card-reader should light up when a card is inserted. (forum)
- The card must be formated with FAT16 or FAT12, NOT with FAT32 and with no partition-table.
- Thus the card must be a fast SD- or MMC-card of at most 2GB, not larger.
- A card that is too slow will cause issues during printing.
