# Using a USB Memory Device to Save/Load Settings Data

Address Book and machine settings data can be saved to a USB memory device (export). Data that is saved to a USB memory device can also be registered in the machine (import). You can easily copy the destinations in the Address Book to multiple machines.* * Depending on the model, you cannot import the Address Book data that exported from the machine. If using the same model, you can import/export machine settings data.
