Backup/Restoration; Backup/Restoration Using The Dcm Function - Canon LBP351 Series Service Manual

Backup/Restoration

Depending on the works to be done such as replacing parts, this data needs to be backed up and restored.
There are some ways to back up and restore data, and the appropriate one should be used depending on the purpose and storage
destination.
This section describes the procedure for backing up and restoring service mode setting values.
For the procedure for backing up and restoring other information, refer to

Backup/Restoration Using the DCM Function

Use the DCM (Device Configuration Manager) function equipped in the machine to back up/restore the various data.
This operation can be performed from the [Settings/Registration] menu or from service mode.
The backup file can be saved in a USB flash drive or the local disk of a PC accessed via the Remote UI.
Backup/Restoration Using PCB
An Expansion ROM for servicing and the Sublog Board can be used to back up setting data from a PCB that has failed, to
migrate the setting information to an unused Main Controller.
Backup/Restoration Using the DCM Function
■ Function Overview
This machine has a setting information export/import function (hereinafter referred to as DCM (Device Configuration Management
function) which exports/imports the machine's setting value information as a file. The file exported/imported using the DCM
function is called a DCM file, and the target setting information is as follows:
• Setting information of [Settings/ Registration]
• Setting information of service mode
The DCM file is exported to a USB flash drive or PC local disk from the Control Panel or remote UI.
The exported DCM file can be returned to the original device or imported to a different device.
When the file is returned to the original device, this can be used as a setting backup function, and when the file is imported to a
different device, this can be used as a setting information migration function.
Data can also be imported to or exported from an iR-ADV machine by using iW EMC/MC DCM Plug-in.
In the case of the setting value backup function before DCM, an exported file could be imported to the same device, but the DCM
function enables import of an exported file to a different device.
NOTE:
In order to export or import setting information using DCM, it is necessary that the device supports DCM.
● Backup/Restoration for Service Technicians
Backup and Restoration from the [Settings/Registration] Menu
Setting information can be backed up and restored from the Control Panel of the device or from the [Settings/Registration] menu
of remote UI.
Although the [Settings/Registration] menu is for users, the service mode settings information can be backed up and restored from
the Import/Export function by changing the service mode setting.
In order to back up and restore the service mode setting information from the [Settings/Registration] menu, it is necessary to
access from remote UI.
