Import/Export Function

Solution

Address Book and machine settings data can be saved in your computer (export). Data that is saved on your computer can also be registered in the machine (import). You can easily copy the destinations in the Address Book to multiple machines.* To use these features, it is required that you have logged in to System Manager Mode.
*Depending on the model, you cannot import the Address Book data that exported from the machine. If using the same model, you can import/export machine settings data.
IMPORTANT
Do not turn OFF the machine until the import or export process is complete
  • It may take a few minutes to complete the process. If the machine is turned OFF during the process, it may result in damage to data or the machine.
Do not operate the machine during the import or export process
  • Before importing/exporting, check that no operation such as printing documents is currently processing.
NOTE
  • For the settings that cannot be imported/exported, see the "User's Guide" from the Canon website (canon.com/oip-manual).
  • You can also import/export settings data via a USB memory device by using the operation panel of the machine. For details, see the "User's Guide" from the Canon website (canon.com/oip-manual).
  • For more information about the basic operations to be performed when setting the machine from the Remote UI, see the "User's Guide" from the Canon website (canon.com/oip-manual).
