Distributing The Device Information To Other Canon Multifunction Printers - Canon imagerunner advance C5550i User Manual

Distributing the Device Information to Other Canon
Multifunction Printers
Various machine settings (device information) can be sent over the network and automatically applied to other Canon
multifunction printers. With this function, you can designate a host machine whose registered information (such as
the settings in the Settings/Registration menu and address lists) is distributed to other client machines, enabling you
to configure the same settings as the host machine. This makes it easier to incorporate new multifunctional printers
into your system, and it enables you to operate multiple machines with the same settings, which simplifies
management operations even when you increase the number of machines. For more information on the machine
information that can be distributed, see
● If both the host and client machines are imageRUNNER ADVANCE series models, the device information can
be distributed. It is also possible to receive some setting information from models other than those in this
series. However, some information may not be distributed properly. <Device Management>
