10.4Backup and Restore Operations of Driver Memory Contents

Be sure to back up the driver memory contents in case of the occurrence of problems. If a problem occurs in the driver memory contents, it may become necessary to initialize (all reset) the driver to the same settings at the time of shipment from the factory. If the driver memory contents have been backed up in such a case, the driver memory contents can easily be restored to the factory settings.
