Using a HTTP (web browser) to change the print server settings

A standard web browser (we recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer
®
Navigator
version 7.1 or later) can be used to change your print server settings using the HTTP (Hyper Text
Transfer Protocol). To use a web browser, you must have assigned an IP address to the print server.
1
Type http://printer_ip_address/ into your browser. (Where printer_ip_address is the IP
address or the print server name)
For example: http://192.168.1.2/ (if the printer's IP address is 192.168.1.2.)
Note
If you have edited the hosts file on your computer or are using Domain Name System (DNS), you can also
enter the DNS name of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, you can
also enter the NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in the Network
Configuration List. See Printing the Network Configuration List on page 88 for information on how to print the
Network Configuration List on your print server. The NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the
node name and by default it will appear as BRW_xxxxxx where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet
address.
