This section describes the procedure for outputting edited device settings information to a file.
The structure of the output device settings information is indicated below.
When new settings information is created:
The items indicated by (3) in "
Overall View of Device Settings Information" are output. If items included in (5) are selected to be output, (5) is also output. If items included in (7) are selected to be output, (7) is also output.
IMPORTANTOnly Administrator information is included in (7). Therefore, if you create new device settings information containing (7) and apply that information to a device, users other than Administrator that are registered in the device will be deleted.
When some settings included in existing device settings information are changed:
The items indicated by (1), (3), and (8) in "
Overall View of Device Settings Information" are output. If items included in (5) are selected to be output, (4) and (5) are also output. If items included in (7) are selected to be output, (6) and (7) are also output.
IMPORTANTThe categories included in device settings information and the editable items differ according to the model.
The user information other than that of the administrator in the categories below cannot be edited with this software.
[Department ID Management Settings]
[Authentication User Management]
If you edit device settings information including these categories to create device settings information containing (5) and (7) and apply that information to a device, the user information registered in the device is deleted and the user information contained in the device settings information is registered.
When you create device settings information that includes (5), based on device settings information that does not include the [Department ID Management Settings] category:
If you apply such device settings information to a device, only the [System Manager ID] setting registered in the device is changed, and the other department IDs retain their settings from before the information was applied.
When you create device settings information that includes (7), based on device settings information that does not include the [Authentication User Management] category:
If you apply such device settings information to a device, only the Administrator settings registered in the device are changed, and the users other than Administrator are deleted.
