161Saving the Printer’s Configuration to the QCMCNOTE: The MAC address residing on the QCMC will be used in place of the MAC assigned to theprinter’s own network card whenever the QCMC is installed. If you do not want to identify theprinter with this MAC address, make sure the QCMC is removed from the printer before attachingthe printer to the network.When the printer software detects the presence of a QCMC at power-up, a check of the QCMC will beperformed to determine if there is already a saved flash image available. If no printer flash image existson the QCMC, the software will then check to see if there are any saved configurations in the printer’sNVRAM memory. If the QCMC is blank (no flash image) and saved configurations are detected in theprinter’s NVRAM then you will be prompted with a message on the front panel to save the printer’sconfiguration to the QCMC.NOTE: This screen will appear every time at power-up until the printer’s flash is saved to the QCMC.If the key is pressed, the printer will reboot into normal operation and not save anyinformation to the QCMC. On subsequent power-ups the Save message on page 161 will display again.When the key is pressed, the printer will not go online, but instead will copy the printer’s entireflash image to the QCMC, creating a snapshot of the 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 to the printer.While the printer is saving its QCMC settings to the SD card, the following message will display.
