Specifying Device Information Delivery Settings

Registering device information in your machine enables you to set the machine to deliver the same device information to other machines that are connected to the same network. The client machine receives and updates the device information. This enables you to easily manage multiple machines at the same time.

Your machine is capable of both sending and receiving device information, which can be delivered manually and automatically.

The following device information can be delivered:

Delivered Information	Contents	Notes
Address Book	Address List information stored in [Register Destinations] in [Set Destination]. [Function Settings] - [Receive/Forward] - [Common Settings] - [Forwarding Settings] [Function Settings] - [Send] - [Common Settings] - [Register Favorite Settings] [Function Settings] - [Send] - [Common Settings] - [Edit Favorite Settings]	All of the currently stored destinations are deleted, and then the destinations that are delivered are registered.
Department ID	[Management Settings] - [User Management] - [System Manager Information Settings] [Management Settings] - [User Management] -[Department ID Management]	Only Department IDs existing in the client machines are deleted. If an identical Department ID exists in the client machine, its password and set counter limits are overwritten. Counter values, however, are not overwritten. If a Department ID exists in the host machine, but not in the client machine, the Department ID, password, and set counter limits from the host machine are added to the client machine. Counter values are also added and reset. If the Copy Card Reader-F1 is attached to the host machine and is not attached to the client machine, or vice versa, only System Manager Settings are delivered.
Printer Settings	[Function Settings] - [Printer] -[Printer Settings]	Some Settings/Registration settings are not delivered. For more information, see "Function Settings: Printer."
Paper Information	[Preferences] - [Paper Settings] - [Paper Type Management Settings]	The user-defined paper types that are already stored are delivered. Upon exporting, the user-defined paper information is duplicated and delivered. Upon importing, the user-defined paper types that are already stored are overwritten by the paper information.
Settings/Registration Value	Settings made from the Settings/Registration screen (excluding the above settings)	Some Settings/Registration settings are not delivered. For more information, see "Settings/Registration Table." Information for mail boxes set with a password is not delivered. Information for mail boxes set with a password in the client machine is not overwritten. If you do not deliver [Settings/Registration Value] and [Address Book] at the same time, the settings in [URL Send Settings] for [Set Fax/I-Fax Inbox] and [Mail Box Settings] may be erased.
Web Access Favorites	[Web Access Favorites]	Can only be delivered if the Web Access function is activated on both the client and host machine.
Workflow Composer	Flows	All of the flows currently registered in the client machine are deleted, and then the flows that are delivered are registered. Delivery and reception is only performed if Workflow Composer is started on both the client and host machines. For information on Workflow Composer, see the instruction manual that comes with it.

IMPORTANT
Preparing for delivery and updating the information after it is received may take several minutes. Do not turn the machine's main power OFF until these operations are complete. Otherwise, the machine may malfunction. Device information can be shared between machines of the same model (imageRUNNER ADVANCE 4051/4045/4035/4025). However, some information may not be delivered correctly depending on the optional products that are available for use on the machine. If [Restrict Receiving Device Information] for <Receiving Settings> is set to 'Off', the machine can receive device information delivered from different machine models. (See "Setting the Receiving Machine.") However, some information may not be delivered correctly. Device information cannot be delivered if the System Manager ID and System PIN registered in the client machine differ from the System Manager ID and System PIN registered in the host machine.
