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, by managing the device setting information file with the server, you can regularly import the device setting information file.

Importing Device Setting Information on the Server

Use the device management server or web server.

To use the device management server, see the device management server manual.

To use the web server, open the device setting information CSV file, change the data displayed under "ModuleID" to "-", and store it on the web server. For details, contact your sales representative.

Note

  • The file format for exports is CSV.

  • Import and export is possible between machines only if they are the same model.

  • If the device configuration is changed, export the updated device setting information file.

  • If there are multiple machines, you can specify their settings to be identical by importing the same device setting file.

  • While a user is operating the machine, nothing can be imported or exported until the user completes the operation.

  • During export and import, the machine cannot be otherwise operated.

  • For details about SD card handling, see "Inserting/Removing a Memory Storage Device", Getting Started.

  • You can also use Web Image Monitor to configure the import, export, and server settings.
