Backing up and restoring the system configuration

The following sections describe how to back up and restore the system configuration.
Backing up the system configuration
If you back up the system configuration you can restore it after you reinstall system software. When you back up the system
configuration, you save a configuration file that includes one or more of the following:
• Fiery System Settings
• Color Settings
• Scan Settings
• FreeForm/VDP Resources
• Virtual Printers
• Server Presets
• Fonts
• Job Log
NOTE:
If you cannot create a configuration file as described in the following procedure, ask the site administrator to archive custom files
(such as color profiles and customer-installed fonts) to removable media or a network location.
To back up the system configuration
1. Ask the site administrator to print the Job Log, Configuration page, and Font List (if possible). For more information,
see"Printing the Configuration pages" on page
2. Connect your computer to the same network as the imagePASS, and open a Web browser window.
NOTE:
Request the permission from the network administrator before you connect your computer to the network.
3. In the URL field of the browser, type the IP address or server name of the imagePASS, and press Enter to open the WebTools
page.
The IP address and server name are listed on the Configuration page.
4. In WebTools, click Configure tab > Launch Configure.
5. Log on with Administrator privileges and click OK.
The default Administrator password is Fiery.1 (case-sensitive), but the site administrator may have changed the password.
6. Select Fiery Server > Backup.
7. Select the settings you want to back up and specify the backup filename, then click Backup.
The backup process starts. Wait until the "Backup Completed!" message appears.
The backup reference file and data file will be created. Click each download button to save the files.
8. Click OK.
Restoring the system configuration
You can restore the configuration of the imagePASS to an earlier state using a configuration file. For more information about
creating a configuration file, see "Backing up the system configuration".
NOTE:
If you were unable to create a configuration file, you must configure Setup. After you exit Setup and the imagePASS reboots, ask
the site administrator to restore any archived settings and files that were saved. For more information, see Configuration and
Setup, which is part of the user documentation set.
To restore the system configuration
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the imagePASS, and open a Web browser window.
NOTE:
Request the permission from the network administrator before you connect your computer to the network.
