The saved communication settings commands are intended to be used only for applying settings to a
printer. To apply the settings to the printer using this command file, use the mass storage mode. -
Saved command files contain authentication keys and passwords. We recommend storing command files
only if necessary. - Do not send the command file to a different printer model.
-
Install Certificates
Some network authentication methods may require a certificate.
Install a certificate on the connected printer or save a certificate as a command file that can be distributed to the same model printers. -
Import
Import from the current computer wireless settings
Imports the settings from the computer.- When importing the wireless settings, administrator privileges for the computer are required.
- Only personal security authentication settings (open system, public key authentication and WPA / WPA2 - PSK) can be imported. Enterprise security authentication (such as EAP - FAST), WPA2 - PSK(TKIP) and WPA - PSK (AES) settings cannot be imported.
- If multiple wireless networks are enabled on the computer, only the personal settings that are detected first will be imported.
- Only the settings from the [Wireless LAN] tab - [Wireless Settings] page can be imported (communication mode, SSID, authentication method, encryption mode and authentication key).
Imports the exported file and applies the settings to a printer.
Click [Browse] and select the file you want to import. The settings in the selected file appear in the settings display / change area.- All settings (such as wireless settings or TCP/IP settings) can be imported, except for node names.
- Only the profiles 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 needed, so that it does not duplicate the IP address of an existing printer on the network.
-
Export

Applying Setting Changes to Multiple Printers
- After applying the settings to the first printer, disconnect the printer from the computer, and then connect the second printer to the computer.
-
Select the newly connected printer from the [Printer] drop-down list.
If the [Automatically detects the connected printer, and retrieves the current settings] check box in the [Option Settings] dialog box is selected, the printer connected with the USB cable is automatically selected. (See Menu Bar.)
-
Click the [Apply] button.
The same settings that were applied to the first printer are applied to the second printer.We recommend selecting the [Automatically restart the printer after applying new settings] check box when configuring the first printer so that you can confirm that a connection with the Wi-Fi access point/router can be correctly established with the settings. (See Menu Bar.)
-
Repeat steps 1 - 3 for all printers whose settings you want to change.
If the first printer's IP address is set to [STATIC], the other printers will also use the same address. If needed, you can change each printer's IP address in the [Wireless LAN] tab.
To save the current settings in a file, click [File] - [Export].
The same settings can be applied to another printer by clicking [File] - [Import], then selecting the exported settings file. (See Menu Bar.)
