Print - GCode List

Just completed a Mk4. Am not otherwise novice, well used to my Mk3. Its test printed the "keyring" perfectly.

Have inserted a SD with several GCode files on it that have all printed OK on my Mk3 numerous times. I understand Mk4 can print GCode originally intended for Mk3 in compatibility mode and this it offers.

The issue is that there is no visible list of available files on screen, only one file appears on screen with only Print and Back choices, I want to print some of the others not listed!   I have tried various button and roller actions to get a list but only the one file shows, though there are 8 on the SD.

Help please.

I don't know where you have inserted an SD card but wherever is was it will not work as the mk4 only takes a USB stick

YES, micro sd in a USB connector!

OK, now used a USB stick (not a SD card in a  USB holder as before) with six GCode files on it.

Only ONE file is listed.

Only choices seem to be Print or Back, I'm not able to see a list.

OK, solved, user error, but have to say the process is illogic, and contrary to previous Mks.  On the Mk 3 you get a full file list straight away, scroll and choose, on the Mk4 you get shown one file only, then have to choose (button press) that wrong file for the list of others to appear.

Well at least it's solved.

Must say I never had a problem getting to the list but as my mk4 was my first printer I did not have the preconception you had from having a mk3. When my current print is finished I will have a look to see if my menu structure is the same as yours.

OK, checked mine and it is different. From the home screen you select print and you are shown a list of jobs on the stick with Return at the top.

I'm on firmware 6.0.3
