Using the Configure MFP utility

Note: Before you can use the Configure MFP utility you must have already installed the Printer and Scanner drivers for your TOSHIBA MFP and the TOSHIBA MFP is connected to your PC.

Use the Start, Programs, TOSHIBA Viewer V2, Start Device Setup shortcut to start the utility.

A list of installed TOSHIBA MFPs that can be configured from the PC will then be displayed, select the MFP you want to configure and then click the Setup device button.

After reading the current settings from the TOSHIBA MFP, they are displayed on the PC screen.

The toolbar provides the following functions: Print, Write Settings, Cancel, Show Device Settings, Show Phonebook Settings, Help, Search text and Search button.

The settings are shown in sections below the MFP’s name and presented in two parts: Those that relate to Phonebook functions and those that do not – use the Phonebook and Device settings toolbar buttons to switch between these settings.

Editing Settings

Select the section in which the setting you want to configure is stored from the left column and then expand the settings shown in the right column by clicking the "+" symbols.

After making the required changes, click the Write Settings toolbar button to configure the MFP to match the settings shown on screen.

Hint: If you know the name of the setting that you want to change for, e.g. "Date", but not its location, type the name into the Search box and click the Search button. Click the Search button repeatedly to search for the next match.

Saving Settings on the PC

Every time you run the utility, the current settings are read from the attached MFP and shown on screen.

If required, you can store the settings within TOSHIBA Viewer or save them as a file on your hard disk for future reference or to allow you to copy the settings from one MFP to another.

To save settings for future use on the same PC:

  1. Double click on Add settings file to create a new branch in the left column.
  2. Type a suitable name for the settings, e.g. Settings as of 20071201.
  3. Drag, while holding down the mouse button, from the MFP’s name, e.g. ES, to the settings file and then release the mouse button.
    Hint: Initially, your mouse pointer will become a "circle with diagonal line". On reaching the destination, the pointer will change to an "address label" to indicate that the settings can be dropped there.
  4. Click the Write Settings toolbar button to configure the MFP to match the settings shown on screen and save any new settings files you have created.
