- Some users reported that they could circumvent this issue by disabling the Windows 10 security features.
- The Windows File Explorer sometimes presents problems when it comes to copying files.
Check the file size
- Make sure that the file isn’t still too big.
- If the file is smaller than 2 GB, then it should be alright.
- However, if the file is larger than 2 GB, you will have to use the USB drive on another computer.
- Check the USB format
Make sure that the USB drive is formatted correctly. - If the USB drive is formatted in FAT32, then the file can’t exceed 4 GB.
- However, if the USB drive is formatted in NTFS, the file can exceed 4 GB.
- Upgrade Windows
Try upgrading Windows to a higher version. - If there are newer version than your current version, then these newer versions might have newer drivers, which might fix the problem.
Perform an SFC and DISM scan
- Press the Windows key + X hotkey.
- Click Command prompt or PowerShell to open one of those tools.
- Input the command sfc /scannow in Command prompt.
- Press the Enter key.
- If SFC finds any corruption, it will automatically initiate a repair.
- Then, input the command DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth in Command prompt.
- Press the Enter key.
Try the Safe Mode
- Power off the printer and try to turn it on in Safe Mode.
- Go to Settings > Advanced Settings > Startup Settings > Enable Safe Mode.

If Safe Mode does not work, try to copy files from a USB Mass Storage Device. - Connect the USB cable to your printer and try copying the file to the USB.
