Managing Device Information

The administrator can specify the printer's device information.

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.

Data that can be imported and exported

  • Printer Features

  • Web Image Monitor settings

  • System Settings

Data that cannot be imported or exported

  • Address book

  • Programs (printer function)

  • @Remote-related data

  • Counters

  • Settings that can only be specified via Web Image Monitor or Web Service (for example, Bonjour setting)

  • Settings for the date and time

  • Settings that require the device certificate

  • Settings that need to be adjusted for each printer (for example, image adjustment settings)

  • Settings exclusively for executing functions and settings exclusively for viewing

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 number of input tray match.

  • 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.
