Accessing CentreWare IS

• Finding the Printer's IP Address
CentreWare IS provides access to the printer's embedded Web server. It enables you to easily manage,
configure, and monitor network printers using a Web browser on a network computer. CentreWare IS
gives administrators access to printer status, configuration, security settings, and diagnostic functions.
It also provides access to special printing functions such as printing saved jobs.
CentreWare IS enables you to:
• Check supplies status from your computer, saving a trip to the printer.
• Access job accounting records to allocate printing costs and plan supplies purchases.
• Troubleshoot print-quality problems using built-in diagnostics.
• Define a network printer search and view a list of printers using Printer Neighborhood. The list
provides current status information and allows you to manage printers independently of network
servers and operating systems.
• Configure printers from your computer. CentreWare IS makes it easy to copy settings from one
printer to another.
• Set up and use a simple Web browser-based printing system. Marketing collateral, sales materials,
business forms, or other standardized, frequently-used documents can be saved as a group with
their original driver settings and then reprinted on demand at high speed from any user's browser.
A printer with a hard drive is required to support these functions.
• Access online manuals and technical support information located on the Xerox website.
CentreWare IS requires:
• A Web browser and a TCP/IP connection between the printer and the network (in Windows,
Macintosh, or UNIX environments).
• JavaScript must be enabled in the Web browser. If JavaScript is disabled, a warning message
appears and the pages do not function properly.
• TCP/IP and HTTP must be enabled in the printer.
Accessing CentreWare IS
1. Make sure your printer is turned on.
2. Launch your computer's Web browser and then type your printer's IP address in the Address field.
Do not include "www" before the address. Type the address, separating the groups of numbers by
periods.
