Distributing the Device Information to Other Canon Multifunction Printers
Various machine settings (device information) can be sent over the network and automatically applied to other Canon multifunction printers. With this function, you can designate a host machine whose registered information (such as the settings in the Settings/Registration menu and address lists) is distributed to other client machines, enabling you to configure the same settings as the host machine. This makes it easier to incorporate new multifunctional printers into your system, and it enables you to operate multiple machines with the same settings, which simplifies management operations even when you increase the number of machines. For more information on the machine information that can be distributed, see Settings/Registration Table.

If both the host and client machines are imageRUNNER ADVANCE series models, the device information can be distributed. It is also possible to receive some setting information from models other than those in this series. However, some information may not be distributed properly. <Device Management>  <Device Information Distribution Settings>Some device information may not be distributed properly when certain optional equipment is attached to the machine. |
