You can restore the full range of printer settings shown in the preceding list to a printer with the same

printer settings to that printer from the backup:
• Print count
• Printhead parameters (for each supported printhead)
• Printer configuration code
• Maintenance times
See ‘Restore a printer from a memory device’ on page 77 for more information.
NOTE: When you restore messages, graphics, and line settings you must make sure that these files
are in the correct folder. For messages, for example, this is the \Linx\Linx_10\Messages
folder.
