215Saving the Printer’s Configuration to the QCMCNOTE: The MAC address residing on the QCMC will be used in place of theMAC assigned to the printer’s own network card whenever the QCMCis installed. If you do not want to identify the printer with this MACaddress, make sure the QCMC is removed from the printer beforeattaching the printer to the network.When the printer software detects the presence of a QCMC at power-up, acheck of the QCMC will be performed to determine if there is already a savedflash image available. If no printer flash image exists on the QCMC, thesoftware will then check to see if there are any saved configurations in theprinter’s NVRAM memory. If the QCMC is blank (no flash image) and savedconfigurations are detected in the printer’s NVRAM then you will be promptedwith a message on the front panel to save the printer’s configuration to theQCMC.NOTE: This screen will appear every time at power-up until the printer’s flashis saved to the QCMC.If the key is pressed, the printer will reboot into normal operationand not save any information to the QCMC. On subsequent power-ups theSave message on page 215 will display again.When the key is pressed, the printer will not go online, but insteadwill copy the printer’s entire flash image to the QCMC, creating a snapshot ofthe printer’s memory.Below is a list of items that will be saved to the QCMC:• Printer Program File (software)• Custom configurations (1–8)• Feature files or CST’s that have been downloaded on the printer.• All variable settings from the printer’s NVRAM• Network settings (if LAN/WLAN is installed), including IP Address• Other user files, such as fonts, bitmaps, or graphics files downloaded tothe printer.While the printer is saving its QCMC settings to the EMC, the followingmessage will display.
