Replicating The Setup; Copying To Single Computer; Copying To Multiple Computers - HP 5850 - Deskjet Color Inkjet Printer Reference Manual

Replicating the Setup

The following procedures give an administrator the ability to easily copy one setup configuration to other
computers of the same model. This allows for faster, more consistent configuration of multiple
computers.
NOTE: Both procedures require a diskette drive or a supported USB flash media device, such as an
HP Drive Key.

Copying to Single Computer

CAUTION:
target computers are not the same model. For example, do not copy the setup configuration from a
dc7xxx PC to a dx7xxx PC.
1. Select a setup configuration to copy. Turn off the computer. If you are in Windows, click Start >
Shut Down > Shut Down.
2. If you are using a USB flash media device, insert it now.
3. Turn on the computer.

Copying to Multiple Computers

CAUTION:
target computers are not the same model. For example, do not copy the setup configuration from a
dc7xxx PC to a dx7xxx PC.
This method takes a little longer to prepare the configuration diskette or USB flash media device, but
copying the configuration to target computers is significantly faster.
NOTE: A bootable diskette is required for this procedure or to create a bootable USB flash media
device. If Windows XP is not available to use to create a bootable diskette, use the method for copying
to a single computer instead (see
