Importing/Exporting the Setting Data
13WK-0E7
Machine data such as Address Book destinations, user setting information, and various setting values can be exported
and saved to a computer. Exported data can also be imported into the machine from a computer. Data exported from
the machine can be imported into other Canon multifunction printers, making it easier to congure the settings on a
new machine, such as when you purchase a replacement. For more information on the setting items that can be
imported, see
Specications(P. 1029) . When importing or exporting, you can specify whether to import or export
all of the machine data, or only particular data.
Designate an administrator to manage operations
● Designate an administrator with Administrator privileges to perform data import/export operations. When
data is imported, Address Book information, user settings, network settings, and other data are overwritten,
which may prevent some functions from working properly or cause problems with machine operation.
Exercise caution when importing data.
Do not turn OFF the machine until importing or exporting is complete
● It may take several minutes for the process to complete. Do not turn OFF the machine before the process is
complete. Doing so may result in data loss or cause the machine to malfunction.
Do not import or export while the machine is processing other operations
● Before importing or exporting, make sure that the machine is not processing any other operations, such as
printing or copying.
Do not import or export in different display languages
● If the display language differs between the exporting machine and the importing machine, the setting
values may corrupt, causing malfunction of the machine.
When importing to a Canon multifunction printer other than this machine
● Some settings may not be imported. Specications(P. 1029)
When using a password to protect the security policy settings
● The security policy settings can only be imported if the security policy setting password on the exporting
machine matches that of the importing machine, or if no password has been set for the importing machine.
If no password has been set for the importing machine, the password congured for the exporting machine
is set to the importing machine.
When synchronizing custom settings
● If synchronization of custom settings (client) is started, the data subject to synchronization (including the
Address Book) becomes unable to be imported or exported. For information on synchronization of custom
settings, see
Starting Setting Synchronization(P. 709) . For information on the data subject to
synchronization of custom settings, see List of Items That Can Be Personalized(P. 1125) .
