Import/Export Function

The Remote UI enables you to save (export) the Address Book and other settings such as forwarding settings that are registered in the machine or other Canon machines as a file that can be loaded (imported) into the machine when needed.
This function is useful when you want to back up settings on the machine or restore the settings that you back up. (It is recommended that you regularly back up important data.)
Furthermore, you can apply the settings of the model you are using to other machines , regardless of the model.
The following two types of import/export operation are available:
Import/Export All
You can save/load multiple items as one item.
Import/Export Individually
You can save/load individually certain items.

IMPORTANT
Import/Export can only be performed by the administrator.
Since importing will cause the original settings to be overwritten, be aware that the machine may not operate or function properly depending on the imported content.Below is a common example of this.
For more information on Import All conditions, see "Available Settings Information Table with the Import All Function." Depending on the item, you may need to specify the settings again after importing.
When importing Department ID Management settings, system manager settings, such as ID and password, are also overwritten.When [Department ID Management] is set to 'On' in [Management Settings] (Settings/Registration), and SSO-H is used, you may become unable to login.
If preferences set on the exporting machine are different from that of the importing machine, you may become unable to connect to the network.
Since the Address Book is overwritten, the original data is deleted.
When importing related settings, such as Forwarding Settings and Address Book, either import them together or specify new settings after importing.If related settings are inconsistent, the machine may not function properly.
If [Handle Files with Forwarding Errors] (Settings/Registration) is set to 'Off', jobs with forwarding errors are deleted.
The Import/Export operation may take some time to complete. Do not turn the machine's main power Off until the operation is complete. Otherwise, the machine may malfunction.
During an Export operation, the screen display does not change until the operation is complete. Do not click [Start Exporting] while the hourglass or pointer indicates that the operation is still being processed.
NOTE
The machine's control panel cannot be used while files are being imported/exported.
