1.3.11 Backup of machine information (Function code 41)
<Function>
This function is used to back up the machine information and user setting information into an
USB flash memory and restores it when necessary.
- User setting information (Password, user settings, Network settings, etc.)
- Machine information (Preset values, count values, error information, etc.)
However, the following information is not backed up: machine serial number and device and
PCB-specific information such as MAC address.
Note:
- The backup and restore procedures can also be used with the maintenance mode
operation by end users. However, end uses are allowed to restore the user setting
information (Import PI) only and not allowed to restore all the information, such as
machine information and user setting information (Import ALL).
- An USB flash memory for backup should have a free space larger than the RAM size of
the machine.
- When performing this procedure for any other machine with the same USB flash memory,
delete the data previously stored in the USB flash memory.
- If new information is backed up to the USB flash memory where the backup data of the
same model is saved, the backup data is overwritten with the new information.
