NOTE

•Only personal security authentication settings (open system, public key authentication and WPA/WPA2-PSK) can be imported. Enterprise security authentication (such as LEAP and EAP-FAST) and WPA2-PSK (TKIP) settings cannot be imported.

•If multiple wireless LANs are enabled for the computer being used, the first wireless settings (only personal settings) that are detected will be considered for the import data.

•Only settings (communication mode, SSID, authentication method, encryption mode and authentication key) from the [Wireless LAN] tab - [Wireless Settings] pane can be imported.

Select a Profile to import

Imports the exported file and applies the settings to a printer.

Click [Browse] to display a dialog box for browsing for the file. Select the file to be imported. The settings in the selected file appear in the settings display/change area.

NOTE

•All settings, such as wireless settings or TCP/IP settings, can be imported. However, node names cannot be imported.

•Only profiles that are compatible with the selected printer can be imported.

•If the imported profile’s IP address is set to [STATIC], change the IP address of the imported profile, if necessary, so that it does not duplicate the IP address of an existing printer on the network whose settings have been completed.

If the [Disable these settings] check box is selected, the settings in that tab are not saved.

Exported files are not encrypted.

5Automatically restart the printer after applying new settings

If this check box is selected, the printer automatically restarts after communication settings are applied.

If this check box is cleared, printers must be manually restarted.

NOTE

When configuring multiple printers, you can reduce the time required to change settings by clearing this check box. In this case, we recommend selecting this check box when configuring the first printer so that you can confirm that each setting is operating as intended.

6Automatically detects the connected printer, and retrieves the current settings.

If this check box is selected and a printer is connected to the computer, the printer is automatically detected and the printer’s current settings are displayed in the [Current Status] pane.

NOTE

If the model of the connected printer is different than that of the printer shown in the [Printer] drop-down list, the settings available on all tabs change to match the connected printer.
