DCM
■ Overview
DCM (Device Configuration Management) is a function to migrate the device settings
infomation (e.g.: Settings/Registration Basic Information and Service Mode Settings). In terms
of the description in the User's Guide, it is synonymous with "Import/Export All". Service mode
setting values can be exported from the screen of service mode.
While the existing method supported only the case of backing up setting values for the same
machine, DCM now supports the following 3 cases:
• The same machine (backup for the purpose of providing against emergency)
• A different machine of the same model (setting values are migrated collectively to multiple
machines when replacing a host machine)
• A different model (e.g.: the setting values are copied from an old model to a new model)
● Items to be Exported
The following shows the items to be exported.
Only setting values are exported. Image data such as scanned image cannot be exported.
Settings/Registration Basic Information
Paper Type Management Settings
Forwarding Settings
Department ID Management Settings
Main Menu Settings
Web Access Settings
Favorite Settings
Address Book
Quick Menu Settings
MEAP Application Setting Information

● Method of Import/Export
The following shows the methods to import/export DCM files.
• Import/Export by remote UI
• Import/Export by service mode
• Import/Export using iW Management Console DCM Plug-in
Store the backup data in the following location.
• Export by remote UI > PC
• Export by service mode > USB flash drive/internal HDD
Even if data has been exported by one method, it can be exported by another one.
(E.g.: Data which was exported by remote UI can be imported by service mode)
For details of iW Management Console DCM Plug-in, refer to the e-Manual of iW
Management Console DCM Plug-in.

■ Limitations on DCM General

• With DCM, stored data in Box, MEAP application, and system option license cannot be
migrated.
• A DCM file exported to the internal HDD is not deleted even when the machine is restarted.
Only 2 files at a maximum are stored in HDD. When there are more than 2 files, the oldest
file are deleted.
• After importing a file, the machine must be restarted. If executing import without restart, NG
is displayed and a file is not imported. This operation is not guaranteed.
• When importing DCM file including "Service Mode Settings" and "Settings/Registration
Basic Information" separately, perform it in the following procedures.
1. Perform the import of the DCM file including "Service Mode Settings" earlier
2. Restart the host machine
3. Import the DCM file including "Settings/Registration Basic Information"
• As include "Service Mode Settings", if the process is not completed within 5 minutes in
the case of export and 15 minutes in the case of import, the item performed at that time is
continued until it ends, but the final result becomes ERROR.
• DCM files to which no password is set when exporting by service mode cannot be loaded
from collective import by remote UI. When assuming to perform collective import by remote
UI, password must be set to data to be exported.
