Checking the virtual display

1
Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.
Notes:
•
View the printer IP address in the TCP/IP section in the Network/Ports menu. The IP address appears
as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.
•
If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.
2
Check the virtual display that appears at the top left corner of the screen.
The virtual display works as an actual display would work on a printer control panel.

Checking the printer status

You can view paper tray settings, the level of toner in the toner cartridges, the percentage of life remaining in
the maintenance kit, and capacity measurements of certain printer parts from the Device Status page of the
Embedded Web Server.

Print a network setup page or the menu settings pages and locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section.
