  4. Select the settings that you want to export.

    Select the settings you want to export. If you select the parent category, subcategories are also selected. However, subcategories that cause errors by duplicating within the same network (such as IP addresses and so on) cannot be selected.

  5. Enter a password to encrypt the exported file.

    You need the password to import the file. Leave this blank if you do not want to encrypt the file.

    If you want to export the printer’s network settings such as the device name and IPv6 address, select Enable to select the individual settings of device and select more items. Only use the selected values for the replacement printer.
