Exporting a Configuration Profile
The settings in the [Device Settings] tab can be saved as a configuration profile file (*.typ). For example, if you save the [Device Settings] changed to match the printer you are using as a file, you can lighten the work involved in other users changing individual settings by distributing the saved configuration profile. To use the saved configuration profile, import the file.
