Clone Configuration

Users can clone printer-specific settings from one printer to another printer of the same series, thus saving time in printer configuration. This is useful when you are setting up multiple printers with the same settings.

• This feature is not available for WT4-AXB series (International Model) printers. • You can only use TCP/IP (for printers connected via LAN or Wi-Fi) or Bluetooth (Android device only) interface for cloning configuration. On iPhone devices, [Clone Configuration] is not available when the printer is connected via Bluetooth interface. • [Clone Configuration] is not available when using NFC interface.

Prerequisite:

•	From the printer dashboard, make sure the printer is connected before you can create or apply the clone configuration file. If the printer supports the login feature, you must sign in before proceeding.

1.	On the printer dashboard, tap [Clone Configuration].

2.	On the [Clone Configuration] screen, you can choose to create a clone configuration file or apply the desired clone configuration file.

Continue with the following procedures according to the selected option.
