Making a Backup or Restoring the Address Book
You can save the backup data of the address book and restore it when required.
You can back up and restore the address book data in UDF format using the control panel or Web Image Monitor.

Do not edit the information in the address book by using the control panel while downloading the export file.
Password information will not be exported. Enter the password information again after exporting the file.
The data stored in the machine's address book will not be deleted when you import the file. If the same user exist in both the machine's address book and the exported file, the information will be overwritten as the information on the exported file when you import it.
The authentication method of the CSV file must be the same as the authentication method of the device to import the file.
UTF-8 is used as the character code for CSV files.
Enclose the setting value in double quotation marks and brackets. For example, enter "[1]" for setting value of Set General Settings. When importing a CSV file exported from device management software such as Device Manager NX, if the format version of the CSV file is 4.1.1.X, enclose the setting values in double quotation marks.
Even if items not listed in the "Row names and their corresponding values" table are added to the CSV file and imported, the corresponding items will be ignored and imported.
