Neither operator nor service technician can execute backup manually.

No other operation can be executed while the backup is in progress and while the message is displayed: “Now Backup. Please wait.”

  • Backup is executed 24 hours after the most recent backup. If there is no backup data on the machine, the first backup is executed at 2 a.m.
  • In the following cases the backup is suspended and attempted one hour later:
    • When downloading the firmware from a website during ARFU.
    • LCD lamp on the operation panel is ON.
    • The HDD cannot be accessed for 60 sec.
  • A backup does not execute if the backup data has not changed. (Up to 7 days max.)
  • The LCD lamp remains off while the backup is in progress.
  • Backup data is stored on the HDD.

  • Here is an estimate of the time required to complete backup.
