By using the "Import configuration" option, available on the right-hand side of the "General options" panel, this data can be automatically generated for different national and international codes. It is also possible to import data from different manufacturers by clicking on the options showing their logo.

The other options in the right-hand column can be used to import and export the complete configuration of the "General options" panel to files on disk, as well as to select a file with initial values for creating a new job.
