Importing and Exporting Data

You can save (export) setting information such as the Address Book and Additional Functions setting data as a file. You can store the exported file as a backup and load (import) the data into the machine when necessary.
IMPORTANT
The importing/exporting operation may take a few minutes to complete. Do not turn the machine’s main power OFF until the operation is complete. Otherwise, the machine may malfunction.
During an exporting operation, the page does not change until the operation is complete. Do not click [Start Export] while the computer indicates that the operation is still being processed.
The Import/Export function is available only when the Remote UI is in the System Manager Mode.
The importing/exporting operation is performed based on the language displayed on the touch panel display of the machine. For example, if the language displayed on the touch panel display and the language of the Address Book data to import do not match, the importing operation cannot be properly performed.
