This chapter describes the procedures for configuring your system. You access those procedures through the pull-down menus on the IPS main window. The procedures are described in sequence as they appear on each menu.

Note: During an upgrade to the system, all data on the system disks is deleted. Therefore, it is important to save the following system configurations:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Channel settings

Resolution

Channel address

Channel mode

Printer firmware revision

Pages between updates

Customer profile file.

For information on saving system configurations, refer to “Backing up and restoring configuration files,” later in this chapter.
