Web Print Management Tool

Overview

As part of the FreeFlow Accxes firmware, the Web Print Management Tool is accessed from your
workstation using the Netscape 8.0 (or newer), Internet Explorer 6.0 (or newer), or Mozilla 1.7.5
(or newer) and Mozilla FireFox 1.5 (or newer) web browser. To access the Web Print
Management Tool, you need to enter the IP address of your printer in the URL box of your
browser ("Address" in Explorer or "Location" in Netscape) and press ENTER.
The Web Print Management Tool enables three major functions:
Provides print job management and status tracking
Provides control over the printer's default settings
Provides a method to enable job accounting for printing, copying and scanning media
usage data to be saved in the FreeFlow Accxes Controller's job log file. The data is
retrieved via an External Account Server, such as the Account Management Tool (AMT).
Note that this tool does not manipulate any network operating system print queues, such as UNIX
lpr/lpd queues.
