You can use a standard web browser to manage a printer on your network using HTTP. When using Web Based Management, the following actions are possible:

Display printer status information

Change network settings such as TCP/IP information

Display software version information of the printer and print server

Change network and printer configuration details

We recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or later or Firefox® 25.0.1 or later for Windows, Safari® 5.0.6 or later or Firefox® 26.0 or later for Macintosh.

Please make sure that JavaScript and cookies are always enabled in whichever browser you use.

In order to use Web Based Management, your network must use TCP/IP, and the printer and computer must have a valid IP address.

Configuring the Printer Settings Using Web Based Management (Web Browser)

A standard web browser can be used to change your print server settings using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol).

1. Type "http://printer_ip_address/" into your browser. (Where "printer_ip_address" is the IP address or the print server name.)

For example (if the printer's IP address is 192.168.1.2.):

http://192.168.1.2/

If you edited the Hosts file on your computer or are using a Domain Name System, you can also enter the print server's DNS name. The print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS, so you

can also enter the print server's NetBIOS name. To find the NetBIOS name, click the Network tab and then select Network Status. The NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of

the node name and appears as "BRWxxxxxxxxxxxx" (where "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" is the ethernet address).

2. Change the print server settings.

The default user ID and login password to manage printer settings is one of the following combinations:
