4 Back up and restore printer settings

IMPORTANT: Make sure that you read and understand the information on page 2 before

you back up or restore printer settings.

NOTE: You need a User Level C password to back up and restore printer settings.

You can use a memory stick to make a back-up of the printer settings. You can restore the

printer settings to the same printer, or transfer some printer settings to another printer.

You can back up printer settings from more than one printer to the same memory stick. A

back-up is saved to the memory stick and identified by a name that shows the date and time

of the back-up in the format YYYY\MM\DD HH.MM. Back-ups from other printers are

identified with the date and time and a 5-character code for the serial number of the printer

used. For example, “2009\07\29 10.29 (AB123)”. See Figure 17 on page 14.

You can back up the following printer settings:

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

with the same serial number code as the back-up.

If the printer has a different serial number code than the back-up, you cannot restore the

following printer settings to that printer from the back-up:
