30 Chapter 2—Reinstalling the IC-304 Print Controller Software
2.1 Overview
This chapter describes when and how to:
•
Back up and restore the IC-304 print controller operating system, including the
current job list database, on your computer
•
Reinstall the software configuration on your IC-304 print controller
2.1.1 When to Back Up and Restore
Back up the IC-304 print controller system on a regular basis—for example,
weekly— so that you always have a working copy of your software to be able to
restore your system, if necessary.
The IC-304 print controller provides two backup and restore methods:
•
Back up and restore only partition
C
—Norton Ghost software copies the files on
partition C to an image file on partition D , and restores partition C from the
image file on partition D .
•
Back up and restore partitions C and D —Norton Ghost software copies the files
on partitions C and D to a DVD, and restores partitions C and D from the backup
copy of the DVD.
You can perform the backup and restore procedure at any time.
Restore the software on your IC-304 print controller after an unrecoverable disk
crash or when the system exhibits unpredictable behavior—for example, when error
messages suddenly appear or the GUI freezes.
2.1.2 When to Reinstall
Reinstall when:
•
A backup is not available or is corrupt
•
You install a new operating system
•
You physically replace or upgrade the system disk
In these cases, overwrite partitions C and D . This is the Color Server Software
Complete Overwrite Installation .
You should also reinstall when:
•
Windows XP operating system is corrupt
In this case, overwrite system partition C . This is the Color Server Software
Preservation Installation (System Partition Overwrite) .
Tip: Save a copy of the backup, either on the network or on an external device,
to prevent loss of data in case your system disk becomes corrupted.
Important: We recommend that you always disconnect the network cable
before installing software.
