Chapter 2—Reinstalling the IC-304 Print Controller Software
This chapter describes when and how to:
•
Back up and restore the IC-304 print controller operating system, including the
current job list database, on your computer
•
Reinstall the software configuration on your IC-304 print controller
Back up the IC-304 print controller system on a regular basis—for example,
weekly— so that you always have a working copy of your software to be able to
restore your system, if necessary.
Tip: Save a copy of the backup, either on the network or on an external device,
to prevent loss of data in case your system disk becomes corrupted.
The IC-304 print controller provides two backup and restore methods:
•
Back up and restore only partition C—Norton Ghost software copies the files on
partition C to an image file on partition D, and restores partition C from the
image file on partition D.
•
Back up and restore partitions C and D—Norton Ghost software copies the files
on partitions C and D to a DVD, and restores partitions C and D from the backup
copy of the DVD.
You can perform the backup and restore procedure at any time.
Restore the software on your IC-304 print controller after an unrecoverable disk
crash or when the system exhibits unpredictable behavior—for example, when error
messages suddenly appear or the GUI freezes.
Reinstall when:
•
A backup is not available or is corrupt
•
You install a new operating system
•
You physically replace or upgrade the system disk
In these cases, overwrite partitions C and D. This is the Color Server Software
Complete Overwrite Installation.
You should also reinstall when:
•
Windows XP operating system is corrupt
In this case, overwrite system partition C. This is the Color Server Software
Preservation Installation (System Partition Overwrite).
Important: We recommend that you always disconnect the network cable
before installing software.
