• Do not attempt to print or turn the printer off while the program is communicating with the printer.

  Do not add or edit media information on a printer from another computer while it is being added or edited.

• We recommend backing up the media information in advance before editing media information.

  For how to back up media information, see "Back Up Base Printer Media Information" in "Copying Media Information from the Base Printer to Another Printer".
