Object Image on screen

Older firmware used to show an image of the actual object/model prior to printing (and while printing). 

I see this has gone with recent firmware updates, although is there a way to see the model on screen prior to printing?

Best Answer by FoxRun3D:

Oh yes. That's not the stock setting for a Mk4 in the new firmware. They now use QOI format instead of PNG. I don't know why your profiles apparently didn't update. Maybe reinstall PS.

You've got to slice your projects again as they changed the image format.

Seems everything is up to date as I suspected......

PrusaSlicer 2.7.1

MK4 Firmware 5.1.2

Newly sliced object and still do not see any image on the MK4.

Is there a settings I'm missing somewhere?

RE: Object Image on screen

Do you by any chance use a custom printer profile? Do you have the QOI formats in the thumbnail settings?

I haven't touched anything - I generally just use defaults. Only thing I ever change is infill or supports/brim!

Screenshot attached - should I change this to QOI?
