Re: Konica Minolta C759 - Copy User Box contents to another Machine

The customer know how to do it.. when we switch out the machines for new lease it is one of the requirement customer put forth. So Yes I can ask in the expense of some discounts if the company is willing to do it.. Aargh.. it always boils down to time and money.. As a tech we know it can be easily done not sure why Konica Minolta does not realize that..

Backing up files in a User Box

maybe this would help?

There is no option on C759 -- may be I am missing some software switch?

Thanks

I have been asked this many times over the years and NOT found a suitable method
I agree its down to security , but its a common customer request.

The problem with user boxes is the document is saved with all the printer driver settings (paper type & tray)
this means even if you move the PDF , the paper settings and instructions dont go with them (EG booklets saved in a User box)

possible workarounds
On older models with a HDD we could move the HHD from the old machine and install it on the new one.
this would often work for basic User boxes and you would only need to reinstall the movie data and address book (easy stuff)

Note- I have not tired this on a C759

HDD backup utility could only back up and restore to the same device.
I suppose you could try the backup one C759 and then change the serial number in service mode - import to the new C759, then change it back (it may work)

note SW 72 to hex04 is for USB backup for address book /network /admin (not user boxes)

Thank you! You put it right perspective of my frustration! I am still looking for options.. Let's see..
