Multi-media printer with removable memory storing printer settings
First Claim
1. A hard copy recording device for transferring images to media, the hard copy recording device comprising:
- an engine for transferring images to the media in response to control signals;
a controller for providing the control signals to the engine based upon image data received via a first interface;
a first non-volatile memory storing recording device system data accessible by processes executing at the controller; and
a second non-volatile memory for storing a copy of selected portions of the recording device system data, the second non-volatile memory being detachably connected to the hard copy recording device and capable of being coupled to a second hard copy recording device for downloading the selected portions of the recording device system data to the second hard copy recording device, wherein the second non-volatile memory is not connected to the hard copy recording device at the first interface.

Abstract
A hard copy recording device for transferring images to media, the hard copy recording device including an engine, a controller, a first non-volatile memory, and a second non-volatile memory. The engine transfers images to the media in response to control signals. The controller provides the control signals to the engine based upon image data and a first non-volatile memory stores recording device system data accessible by processes executing at the controller. The second non-volatile memory stores a copy of selected portions of the recording device system data, the second non-volatile memory being detachably coupled to the hard copy recording device and capable of being coupled to a second hard copy recording device for downloading the selected portions of the recording device system data to the second hard copy recording device.

11. A hard copy recording device for recording an image on a media, the image being formed based on date received at the first interface, the hard copy recording device comprising:
-
a first non-volatile memory storing specified information regarding settings of the hard copy recording device; a controller for providing control signals to an engine to record the image on the media utilizing the data received at the first interface and at least a portion of the specified information; and a removable memory for storing a copy of selected portions of the specified information, the removable memory being detachably connected to the hard copy recording device and capable of being coupled to a second hard copy recording device which copies the selected portions of the specified information to a non-volatile memory in the second hard copy recording device, wherein the removable memory is not connected to the hard copy recording device at the first interface. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
