Reflecting Security Policy Settings on Other Machines

The security policy settings on this machine can be imported/exported. Applying the same policy to multiple machines* makes it possible to manage machines throughout an organization under the same settings.

*Available only for Canon printers that support security policy settings

Note

  • Security policy settings can only be imported when the security administrator password is the same for both the export source and the import destination or if no password has been set for the import destination. When no password has been set for the import destination, the same password as the export source will be set for the import destination.
