Exporting a Configuration Profile
The settings in the [Device Settings] sheet can be exported and saved as a configuration profile file (*.typ). You can configure the same settings by importing the exported configuration profile.
This function is useful when streamlining driver settings for multiple computers or changing the items that can be set for each user.
NOTE You can import an exported configuration profile by clicking [Change] > [] (Import Configuration Profile) in the [Device Settings] sheet or by using the driver installer.
