1.3.13 Backup of Machine Information (Maintenance mode 46)

<Function>
This procedure backs up the machine information and user setting information into an external
memory (memory card or USB flash memory) and restores it when necessary.
- Machine information (Preset values, count values, error information, machine specifications
data, etc.)
- User setting information (telephone directory, password, station ID, transfer information,
telephone area code, user settings, etc.)
- Other data (Received fax data, ICM/OGM data, etc.)
Note that the following information cannot be backed up.
- Serial number of the machine
- MAC address
- Call and caller ID records
- Activity report
- Fax data to be sent (by delayed-timer, redialing, and polling)
- Head calibration data
Note • The user can use the backup and restoration (given on the next page) procedures. However,
this restoration procedure can be done only with the "Import from Card" function; it is not
available with the "Import all" function.
• An external memory (memory card or 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 external memory,
delete the data previously stored in the external memory.
• Do not use a memory stick; using it may fail to transfer data correctly.
