    If you have no PC to control your printer you can't start an SD print.

    In order to be completely untethered you need a LCD screen to start the SD print.

    It's a replacement to that. The SD slot only works if you can connect to the printer via PC. Once connected you upload the code to SD then tell it to print. From this point you can unplug the printer from the computer.

    You have to tell it to print from SD instead of printing via matter control. For you Queue Option tell it to use the SD options.

    Try clicking the Load Files option for SD card instead.

    Hmmm maybe try using repetier host. I know the sd printing works better in that program.

    I'm not familiar enough with SD printing from MC to help
