how to read .DCM file from imageCLASS MF735Cdw

mfran2002 — Wed, 12 Oct 2022 13:13:40 GMT

Hi all,

time ago I exported address and setting from my CANON 735, into two .DCM files.

I'm now trying to read those files but I don't find any tool for that.

May someone help me?

thanks

Here's a link with instructions for opening a .dcm file:

Hi Gnocchi and thanks for your suggestion

I already tried those but it seems that .DCM file exported from Canon printer has something different...

I can't open from those tools at all

Prior to your post I never heard of a .DCM file.

honestly, the same for me

when I exported those settings and address book I thought that it was a native canon type of file

but then I read that it is for images in general

now I tried lots of tools but no way...

really weird, really struggling

In case anyone is still looking, I realised they are archives so opened in 7zip. I wasn't asked for the password, and a few folders deep there are some more unknown filetypes mixed in with some xml files with the user data. Not quite sure I understand the logic behind it...but hopefully this helps someone.
