Data storage via serial RS232-interface

For better prevention from loss of data, a data backup procedure is available for the system
configuration and the parameter sets. This is made via the RS232-interface (not in B- versions).
The secured data can be transferred to spare units in case of exchange after a failure.
The data backup is accomplished with the RPP software available from ROLAND.
The data backup procedure can be selected in the menu configuration. The following menu is
displayed during the data backup.
