Saving Configuration Files

Normally, your printer can save only nine configurations in its memory. You
change these configurations through the operator panel. However, using the
remote management software, you can store a nearly unlimited number of
configurations on your host computer.
Once you have made your changes, you can save your configurations as a
.cfg file on your local hard drive. This way, you can open any set of
configurations from your host computer and download them into your printer
quickly and easily.
To save configurations to your local hard drive, select File Save As. Be sure
to save your configuration as a .cfg file.

Opening Configuration Files

To open a configuration file, select File Open. The Configuration Editor
loads the settings from the file you choose.
IMPORTANT
These settings do not affect the current configuration or the active
printer status until the configurations are downloaded to the printer.
NOTE: The Configuration Editor displays only one configuration file at a time.
If you load a configuration file that was created with remote management
software version 3.03H or earlier, you may need to link the affiliated CST file.
In this case, select File Open again, and check the Link CST File check
box. See Figure 67. Navigate to the affiliated .cst file and double-click it (or
single-click it and click the Select button). Save the configuration file, and the
CST information will save to the new configuration file. (You will not need to
link the CST file in the future.)
NOTE: If you hover the pointer over the Link CST File check box, a screen
