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.)

IMPORTANT
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 Export] 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.
