Kyocera Setup Tool

Re: Kyocera Setup Tool

^ That's pretty much it.

What I do is this:

1) U917 export address book, job accounting, and one touch key to my usb drive
2) Plug the flash drive into my computer and move all files from the root directory to a folder called "Old files"
3) open setup tool
4) select File > Convert
5) select the "Old Files" folder on your usb drive and press OK
6) select the model of the NEW copier you're transferring the content to and press OK
7) It'll ask you where you want the files created. Select the usb drive (You'll want it in the root directory) and press OK
8) Put the usb drive in the copier and run U917
9) select import and highlight address book, job accounting, and one touch key and execute.
10) done!

That's it. I'm just too lazy to type it all out.

On step 1 we've always had to export everything to get it to work. If we just exported those 3 we couldn't convert. I haven't tried it since the early version. Maybe they fixed it?

Thanks much for the step by step instructions. If this works for me , installations will be much less stressful.

Re: Kyocera Setup Tool

btw, netviewer works one machine at a time as well.
i import then export. saves it as a zip file.
i rarely get to plug bot machines at the same time.
just choose save to file from the old machine and create from fil on the new one. netviewer converts just fine.
the setup tool failed me 4 times so i refuse to even try anymore.

Re: Kyocera Setup Tool

You can download the setting from KFS then convert them for the new machine. You don't have to see both machines that way.

Re: Kyocera Setup Tool

I always use the setup tool "convert" function. it does the whole batch of what's possible in one step.

first, export ALL the 917 data to USB from old copier. Certain models won't convert unless you export everything at once.
point the setup tool to the usb using the convert function, set destination model , point to a local folder for save destination, boom done!

erase the USB, and put the saved files from the local folder onto the usb.
put usb in new copier, 917 import the first four buttons ONLY(address bk, one touch, accounting, user)

extras:
-Don't use the same folder location for convert and save, because it might lead to files of the same name depending on which models you're working with.
-I always open the new address book file afterwards using the tool to verify that I converted the correct files, and that the output isn't blank.
-If your customer has altered their machine admin password, it will be carried-over to the new machine and you won't be able to setup anything further without their password. This can be remedied by flashing a stock "user" file exported from a new copier.

We are able to export via KFS (with the user's help) and do conversions/setups at our office so that new copiers are practically plug-and-play, which is helpful when many of the customers are 1-3 hours drive away!

It's a beautiful thing, works very nicely if you know how to use it. Only converts address books and job accounting codes though.

Re: Kyocera Setup Tool newest version

Resurrecting this again, I am using Setup Tool ver. 3.1.4618. I am looking for an updated version that includes the newer "4"srs. machines (7054ci etc.) Not having any luck finding it on Copystar.com. Have not gotten any response to emails sent to tech support. I can't even find the download of the original utility, just the user guide. I'm not sure that there has been an update with the newer machines. The version I'm using does include the "3"srs. though.

A little help please, thanks, Keith

If you have KDA credentials, try logging on first and then open that URL. I also get a 404 if I'm not logged in. I'll send you a link anyway, but see if that works.

i logged into kda first. and still got the 404 error when clicking the link.

Possibly because that link is over 5.5 years old?..
