your printer settings to another printer, or use it to back up and restore settings on your own printer.
Note: If you are using the clone file to copy your printer settings to another printer, both printers
must be the same model, and have the same version of software.
To determine the Software Version of your printer:
1. In CentreWare IS, click Properties > General Setup > Configuration Report.
2. Scroll down to Software Versions.
