Managing the Setting Information Registered in the Machine

You can 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 to USB memory that can be loaded (imported) into the machine when needed.

The settings of the machine you are currently using can also be transferred to another machine.

You can also restrict the batch importing/exporting of settings using a Web application other than the Remote UI via the network.

Importing/exporting can also be performed from the Remote UI.

It is recommended that you import/export from the Remote UI because you can individually select the items to import/export when doing so. (See "Import/Export Function.")

IMPORTANT
Importing/exporting can only be performed by a user with the required privileges. For more information, see "Setting Administrators." Since the original settings are overwritten when settings are imported, doing so may cause the machine to stop operating correctly or other problems. For more information, "Import/Export Function." The Import/Export operation may take several minutes to complete. Do not turn the machine's main power OFF until the operation is complete. Otherwise, the machine may malfunction. If USB memory is already connected to the machine, that USB memory will be recognized as the media to use for importing/exporting, even if you connect new USB memory. Press → remove the connected USB memory → insert the desired USB memory.
