Copying The Qcmc "Snapshot" Image To A Second Printer - Printronix t8000 Administrator's Manual

In the unlikely case there is not enough space on the SD to save the entire flash image, you will be
prompted with a message "NOT ENOUGH SPACE ON SD / Delete SD File". This is a fatal error and
requires user intervention:
•
Cycle power on the printer.
•
When prompted to save the QCMC select the RIGHT ARROW key to skip. The printer will then boot
normally and go ONLINE.
•
Go OFFLINE and find the System > SD File Edit > Delete SD Files menu.
•
Delete unnecessary SD files then try the QCMC Save operation again.

Copying the QCMC "Snapshot" Image to a Second Printer

Always power off the printer before removing or inserting the QCMC. Place the QCMC into the second
printer's memory slot. Upon power up, the printer software detects the presence of a QCMC and a check of
the QCMC will be performed to determine if there is already a saved flash image from this QCMC on the
printer. If no, the following screen will display:
NOTE:
This message will appear every time at power-up until the QCMC settings are copied to the
printer.
If the RIGHT ARROW key is pressed, the printer will reboot into normal operation and not copy any
information to the printer. On subsequent power-ups the Copy message above will display again if the
QCMC remains installed in the printer.
IMPORTANT:
If the QCMC remains installed in the printer, the MAC address onboard will be
used in place of the resident MAC address to the printer's LAN/WAN interface
card.
When the ENTER key is pressed, the printer will not go ONLINE immediately, but will copy the contents of
the QCMC to the flash memory, creating a clone of the original printer. Before the copy process is allowed
to continue, the printer hardware will be checked. If the printer hardware is incompatible with the QCMC
contents, the screen shown below will be displayed, and the printer will not copy any settings.
