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

The printer'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 printer, you can use it as a backup file to restore device settings.

Note

  • The file format for exports is CSV.

  • The device configuration of the printer importing the device setting information file must be the same as that of the printer, which exported the device setting information file. Otherwise, the device setting information file cannot be imported.

  • Import/export is possible between printers only if their models, region of use, and the following device configuration match.

    • Input Tray

    • Whether or not equipped with the duplex function

    • Whether or not equipped with a hard disk

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

  • If there are printers with the same device configuration, you can specify their settings identically by importing the same device setting file.

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

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

  • You can use an SD card as removable storage. However, certain types of SD cards cannot be used. For details, contact your sales or service representative.
