Installation and Setup

CentreWare Internet Services

Note: This section applies to Phaser 6121MFP/N or /D printer configurations connected to a
network.
CentreWare Internet Services (CentreWare IS) enables you to access the printer's settings using a Web
browser. It provides a simple interface that enables you to manage, configure, and monitor a network
printer from your desktop. CentreWare IS gives you easy access to printer status, configuration,
diagnostic functions, and more.
To access CentreWare IS, first make sure your printer is turned on, then enter your printer's IP address
in your computer's Web browser. Click the Login button on the CentreWare IS page. A password is not
required.
Note: When you are logged in to CentreWare IS, the printer control panel displays the message
"Administered by PC. Please Wait!" You have to log out of CentreWare IS before you can use the
control panel buttons again. However, if you are logged in to CentreWare IS for 5 minutes (the
default setting) without performing any activity, your login session will time out and the printer
control panel will automatically unlock.
CentreWare IS enables you to:
• Configure the printer from your computer, including fax settings, FTP settings, and network
settings.
• See printer information such as serial number, memory, and installed options.
• Check supplies status from your desktop, saving a trip to the printer.
• View a usage summary.
Note: CentreWare IS requires a Web browser and a TCP/IP connection between the printer or
device and the network (in Windows or Macintosh environments). TCP/IP and HTTP must be
enabled in the printer, and a browser that supports JavaScript is required. If JavaScript is disabled,
a warning message appears and CentreWare IS may not function properly.
For more information on using CentreWare IS and for other help resources for your printer, see the
CentreWare IS Online Help: from the System tab, in the System menu on the left, under Administration,
click Online Help.
