Important issues in interoperating environments
Before you set up an interoperating environment, consider these issues.

All interoperating systems must be at the same InfoPrint Manager software level. Older versions of InfoPrint Manager will not work with newer versions of InfoPrint when interoperating.
- Backups
You should always backup your systems before making any major configuration changes. Follow the recommendations found in RICOH InfoPrint Manager for AIX: Getting Started about which file systems should be backed up.
