Hey! follow the steps to get your job done


You can import address book contacts from other Microsoft Windows® Address Book files (.wab), as well as from Netscape Communicator, Microsoft Exchange Personal Address Book, or any text (.csv) file.
For Windows Address Book 1.
On the File menu, point to Import, and then click Address Book.
2.
Select the address book or file type you want to import, and then click Open.

For All Other Address Book Formats 1.
On the File menu, point to Import, and then click Other Address Book.
2.
Click the address book or file type you want to import, and then click Open.

If your address book is not listed, you can export it to either a text (.csv) file or a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) or Lightweight Directory Interchange Format (LDIF) file, and then import it using that file type.



Good luck :-)

Being the canon will import a .cvs file you need to export the windows contacts folder into a .cvs file and then import it into the canon.

To Export the windows contact file to .cvs file (from Microsoft webpage)
To export contacts so they can be viewed by someone using another program
You can convert all your contacts at once to the format you choose so that someone using another program or a previous version of Windows can open and view them.

1. Open Windows Contacts by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Contacts.
   
2. On the toolbar, click Export, and then click one of the following formats:
   
   • CSV (Comma Separated Values). This is a generic file format used for exporting or importing information to and from databases or spreadsheets.
     
   • vCard (folder of .vcf files). This format is used by many other programs. It is typically the best format to use when sharing contacts with someone who is using an earlier version of Windows or who is using a different operating system.
     
3. Click Export, select a folder where you want to store your contacts in the new format, and then click OK.
   
4. When a message appears telling you that the contacts export process has completed, click OK, and then click Close.
   

To import the .cvs file into the Canon 4350
open a document and select the Canon 4350 fax driver as the printer
Select the Edit Address Book TAB
Select Import TAB
Browse to where you stored the exported .cvs contacts file
Click on the .cvs file to be imported
Click open
It will process and the address book will them be populated withthe data from the windows contact folder.

The problem occurs, only when the CSV file was edited and saved by MS Excel. The solution: use only Notepad, Excel never!

The CSV format is below


"*",1,1,2,,
MFDN,MFADDRT,MFCN,MFIKEY,MFVDN,MFLINE,MFFAX,MFRBC,MFCMODE,MFSRESO,MFSHEET,MFSHEETC1,MFSHEETC2,MFPMAX,MFTMSND,MFTMSNDH,MFTMSNDM,MFMBOX,MFMBOXPS,MFMBOXID,MFRLY,MFRLYID,MFRLYPRN,MFRLYNUM,MFCHRGT1,MFCHRGT2,MFCHRGT3,MFFCODE,MFPCODE,MFSG3FRBT,MFMDMSPD,MFECMFRBT,MFEJBIGFRBT,MFIFAX,MFTIFF,MFIFAXCMODE,MFIFAXSRESO,MFIFAXPMAX,MFIFAXTMSND,MFIFAXTMSNDH,MFIFAXTMSNDM,MFSN,MFGN,MFMAIL,MFAUX1,MFAUX2,MFAUX3,MFSVRT,MFSVRADDR,MFPORT1,MFPORT2,MFUSER,MFPASSWD,MFVOLUME,MFPATH,MFUSETLS

You can manually enter addresses by going to Machine Status> Tools. Add Address Book Entry and entering single entries there. Youcan also upload a .csv by browsing into the copier via the IP and going to Proprties> Services> Internet Messaging> E-mail> Public Address Book and Mapping the existing address book to your computer. It will be in a Comma Seperated Value format that can be Modified in Excel and reuploaded in the same area, but instead of mapping existing address book, Upload .CSV file to Address Book and exiting.

Means converting IIF to CSV. Have the IIF, need it in CSV format. Can anyone propose a tool?

NOTE: Accessing the Public Address Book is optional. The Document Centre will accept a Public Address Book file that contains a list of user names and their E-mail addresses. This file must be Comma Separated Values (CSV) format for the device to be able to read the file contents. The majority of word processing packages will allow you to create a CSV file. A selection of e-mail applications will also allow you to export a list of users in the CSV file format.

The completed CSV file is imported to the device through CentreWare Internet Services. The file must have the .CSV file extension. A valid CSV file format includes the name and SMTP e-mail address. The CSV file should be created so that the Names are in one column and the E-mail addresses are in the next column. For example, the following are both valid format CSV file entries:

Smith, [email protected]
Smith, John - [email protected]

The order in which entries are displayed in the Public Address Book at the Document Centre will depend on how the entries are sorted in the CSV file.

NOTE: This solution assumes Microsoft Internet Explorer is being used as the web browser. Other web browsers may vary. You may need to contact your System Administrator to perform this solution, as it requires knowledge of the network’s email system. Configuration of the LDAP directory settings requires the network to support LDAP Services.

The Document Centre will have to be configured for TCP/IP (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Broadcast Address, Gateway Address). Before you begin, print a Configuration Report and make sure the Document Centre has an IP address and the HTTP protocol is enabled.

From the workstation desktop:

1. Click on [Start], point to [Programs], and select [Internet Explorer] to launch Internet Explorer.
2. Click on [File] from the toolbar, then select [Open]. The Open window will be displayed.
3. Enter the IP address for the Document Centre in the Address: field, then press [Enter] on your keyboard. CentreWare Internet Services window will be displayed.
4. Click on [Index] in the upper, right corner of Internet Services. The Index window will be displayed with a list of hyperlinks to different areas of Internet Services.
5. Click on [Public Address Book ] from the list of hyperlinks. The Public Address Book Settings window will be displayed.
6. Click [Browse]. The Choose File window will be displayed.
7. Browse to the location of your Address Book File (*.CSV).

9. Click on [Import Now]. An 'Are you sure you want to overwrite the existing Address Book? This cannot be undone' message may be displayed. Click [OK] to import the address book.
   
   NOTE: You cannot import a .CSV file with a blank name or e-mail field.
   
   
10. An Enter Network Password window may be displayed. In the User Name: field, enter the system login of admin, in lower case letters. In the Password: field, enter the system password, then click [OK].
    
    NOTE: If you do not know the system password, contact your administrator. The initial system password at machine install is 1111 for the Document Centre 460|470|480|490, and 22222 for the Document Centre 425|430|432|440. If the administrator encounters a problem with changing or forgetting the machine password, a service call must be placed.
    
    
11. Click on [Map Existing Address Book] to identify which headings in the CSV file contain the name and e-mail address to use in the Public Address Book.
    
    NOTE: If the CSV file contains names and e-mail addresses only, the file may map automatically.
    
    
12. Click on the [Display Name] drop-down menu under the Imported heading. Select the heading that corresponds to the data you wish to use as the display name in the address book. The data you selected will be displayed in the Imported Sample field.

For correct Public Address operation, the display name must map to a user name and the e-mail address must map to an SMTP format e-mail address, for example, [email protected].
    
    If you are using a DC425|430|432|440 and if your CSV file does not contain a heading row, the first row of data will be lost.
