Save the settings in a file

Introduction

Save the settings and the values that you configured in WebTools Express in a file.

Save the settings in a file to duplicate the settings very easily to another printer of the same type.

NOTE

Not all settings are stored in the settings file. The network settings are excluded from the file because the network settings cannot be transferred to another printer. The passwords for authorized users and the passwords for external locations are excluded from the file for security reasons. License information is not included in the file either.
For this procedure, you need to log in as a Key operator, System administrator, or Power user. The loaded settings depend on the login profile. Only the settings corresponding to the user login are loaded.

Open the [Configuration] tab or the [Preferences] tab.
Click on [Save configuration] in the upper right-hand corner of the tab. A window opens.
Navigate to a location on the network to store the file.
Save the settings<hostname of printer><date>.xml file. The file name is not fixed. You can change the name if required.
Click [Ok] to confirm, or [Cancel] to close the window without storing the file.
