When you slice with cura it puts some profile information in the bottom of the file. Cura 15.* and older encrypts this into a digital packet. If you see a completely 100% nonsense characters at the end of the file then you need Cura 15 which you can download from the cura download page.
If it's sliced with cura 2.* and newer it has a human readable packet at the end of the file. It's not super easy to read and has weird characters but if you read it slowly you will realize it is actually quite readable. You can even write it all down as it only shows *exceptions* to the default profile and tells you which profile it used (e.g. draft).
So...
open the gcode file in a text editor or if you don't have one, use word. Look at the comments at the top and then skip to the very bottom of the file and look at that as well. Maybe it was sliced with some other slicer like s3d (simplify 3d).

Strap in for the first Cura release of 2024! This 5.7 beta release brings new material profiles as well as cloud printing for Method series printers, and introduces a powerful new way of sharing print settings using printer-agnostic project files! Also, if you want to download the cute dinosaur card holder featured below, it was specially designed for this release and can be found on Thingiverse!
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
