7.3 Back up and restore printer settings
IMPORTANT: Make sure that you read and understand the following information before
you back up or restore printer settings.
CAUTION: Printer Software Damage. DO NOT remove the memory device until a
backup and restore operation is complete. If you remove the memory device before an
operation is complete, you can cause permanent damage to your printer software.
You can use a memory device to make a backup of the printer settings. You can restore the
printer settings to the same printer, or transfer printer settings to another printer.
You can back up printer settings from more than one printer to the same memory device. A
backup is saved to the memory device and identified by a name that shows the date and
time of the backup in the format ‘YYYY-MM-DD at HH.MM: SS’. For example, ‘2015-07-29
at 10:29:03’.
The printer identifies a backup from another printer with the default printer name from the
Installation screen (see ‘Installation’ on page 39 for more information), and then the date
and time of the backup. The default printer name is ‘LINX8900_’, followed by the UNIC
code of the printer (for example, ‘LINX8900_000012bebf90’). You can change the printer
name used to identify backups on the Installation screen. See ‘Installation’ on page 39 for
more information.
You can back up the following printer settings:
• All messages and fields
• System parameters, including shaft encoder configuration and print counts
• Logos
• Date formats
• Trigger events
• Printhead parameters (for each supported printhead)
• Message orientations
• Sequential number fields
• User interface configuration
• Printer configuration code
• Security level passwords, security configuration and current security level
• Network 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 backup.
If the printer has a different serial number code than the backup, you cannot restore the
following printer settings to that printer from the backup:
• Print count
• Printhead parameters (for each supported printhead)
• Printer configuration code
• Maintenance times
