4. Backup and Restore
4.1 What is the Backup Controller Function?
The Controller configuration set by EPSON RC+ 7.0 can be stored with the “Backup
Controller” function.
The Controller settings can be restored easily using the data previously stored with “Backup
Controller” after a configuration mistake or Controller problem.
Be sure to execute “Backup Controller” before changing the Controller setup, before
maintenance, or after teaching.
For some problems, backup may not be available before maintenance has to be performed. Be
sure to backup the data after making changes, before problems occur.
“Controller status storage function” is one of the RC700 / RC700-A functions. It saves the
Controller setup data same as “Backup Controller.”
There data can be used as the backup data at restoring.
The methods for “Controller Status Storage” are as follows:
A : “Controller backup to the USB memory”
For details, refer to RC700 Series Manual Functions 8. Memory Port.
B : “Export Controller backup function” in EPSON RC+ 7.0.
