  4. Drag the template or other data that you want to transfer and place it in the new folder.
    You can browse for templates or other data by selecting [All contents] or by selecting one of the categories under [Filter], such as [Layouts]. When transferring multiple templates or other data, drag all the files that you want to transfer and place them in the new folder. Each file is assigned a key number (memory location in the printer) when it is placed in the new folder.

    • All data transferred to the printer is assigned a key number.
    • If the template or other data transferred to the printer has the same key number as another template already saved in the printer, the new template will overwrite the old one. You can confirm the templates key number assignments saved in the printer by backing up the templates or other data.
    • If the printer memory is full, remove one or more templates from the printer nonvolatile memory.
     
  1. To change the names of templates or other data that will be transferred, click on the desired item and enter the new name. The number of characters used for the template names may be limited depending on the printer model.
