HP Network ScanJet 5 Scanner - Administrator's Guide
Restoring the Scanner Configuration
You can restore a backup of previously saved configuration data to a
selected scanner. Because you can choose a target scanner that is
different from the original one, this procedure can be used when
replacing a scanner. The new scanner must first be connected to the
network and configured from the scanner control panel, as described in
the HP Network ScanJet 5 Getting Started Guide.
To restore the scanner configuration
1 On the Tools tab of the Properties dialog box, click the Backup icon.
2 In the Commands box, click Restore/Exchange.
3 In the Restore dialog box, enter the directory in which the backup is
stored.
4 Click OK. The directory you specified is checked to make sure the file
exists. The restore procedure is canceled if files are missing. A message
warns that the restore procedure overwrites the current configuration of
the scanner.
5 Click OK. Messages are displayed to indicate when the restore is in
progress and when it is completed.
To check the results of the restoration, refer to the Events Log.
Replicating the Scanner Configuration
You can replicate (copy) the configuration of one scanner to another,
providing a simple method for aligning the configurations of multiple
scanners. Of course, the first scanner must already have been configured
from the scanner control panel.
To replicate the scanner configuration
1 On the Tools tab of the Properties dialog box, click the Backup icon.
2 In the Commands box, click Replicate.
3 In Source Scanner box of the Replicate Scanner dialog box, select the
scanner from which the configuration will be copied. The Target
Scanner box displays the name of the currently selected scanner.
4 Click OK. The message “Scanner replicate in progress” appears both for
the download from the source scanner and for the upload to the target
scanner. The message “Scanner replicate successfully completed”
appears at the end of the process. You can abort the operation at any time
prior to its completion.
To check the results of the replication, refer to the Events Log.
