This chapter discusses how to backup Labels, Article Register, Settings, and any customer-specific functions,
but also how to distribute these files between multiple devices. It is these files that distinguish a factory default
printer from a printer ready to be installed on a production line.
With a recent backup, it is possible to ensure prompt up production at a potential problem with the
computer-unit. This could then quickly be replaced and loaded with the saved files.
Distribution of such files between different printers on a network makes it easy to maintain the Article
Register on one printer and then distribute it to other printers.
6.1 Necessary preparations
In order to implement backup and distribution of the files necessary, a computer must be connected
to the network used by the printer to be serviced. To access the relevant files in the printer, the
program "Filezilla" must be installed on your computer. Filezilla can be downloaded free online at the
following link: http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Filezilla helps you to access the internal file system of the printer/printers. Before this can be done you
must have the IP address of the printer that should be handled. IP address is found via the printer's
touch screen in "Settings" – "Network". The password is "0555".
When "Filezilla" is installed and running:
1. Select "File" – "Location Manager" - "New Location". Enter an appropriate name for the
connection to the printer you must connect to. For example: "Line Printer 12".
2. In the "Host", enter the IP address, ex. "123.45.6.78".
3. Select server type "SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol".
4. Choose Login type: "Normal".
5. Enter user: ”autolabel".
6. Enter password "auto".
7. Leave the box for "Account" empty.
8. Press the "Connect".
Once the connection is successful you will get the file system on your local computer to the left
under "local site". The file system on the connected printer is to the right under "Remote Location".
The files to be handled in the printer can be found under the directory "home/auto label/userdata/
system". There are at least two files: "settings.cfg" and "db.sqlite". The file "settings.cfg" contains all
the settings. These usually distinguish between different printers. The file "db.sqlite" includes Article
Register and Layouts. These can often be shared between several printers. If the current printer has
customized features those are described by a file with the extension ".py".
6.2 Backup
Make preparations in 6.1. Connect to the printer. Select all the files in the directory "home/autolabel/
userdata/system" and download them to the local computer. The files will then be saved in an
appropriate way. A new computer-box can then be updated to a replacement box for a specific printer
by the saved files "settings.cfg", db.sqlite "and possibly a file with the suffix".py” from the specific
printer.
The new files are used by the printer after reboot.
