Load the settings from a file

Introduction

Load the settings and the values for WebTools Express from a file. Load the settings from a file to duplicate them 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.

Procedure

  1. Open the [Configuration] tab or the [Preferences] tab.
  2. Click on [Restore configuration] in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. A window opens.
  3. Navigate to a location on the network and select the settings file.
  4. Click [Ok] to load the settings file, or [Cancel] to close the window without loading the settings file.

    In some cases a reboot dialog will appear.

Results

The values of the settings in the settings file overwrite the current values. The network configuration settings of the system and the passwords are not loaded to prevent connectivity problems and to guarantee the integrity of the passwords.
