Managing Device Information

CAUTION


  • Keep SD cards or USB flash memory devices out of reach of children. If a child accidentally swallows an SD card or USB flash memory device, consult a doctor immediately.

The machine's device information can be set by an administrator with privileges to manage devices, users, networks and files.

The machine's device information can be exported to an external device as a device setting information file. By importing an exported device setting information file to the machine, you can use it as a backup file to restore device settings.

Also, managing device setting information file with the device management server, allows device setting information file to be imported periodically at a specified time or at device startup.
