Viewing reports

You can view some reports from the Embedded Web Server. These reports are useful for assessing the status of the
printer, the network, logs, and supplies. To view reports from a network printer:

1

Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser.

Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then print a network setup page and locate the IP
address in the TCP/IP section.

2

Click Reports.

Checking the device status

From the Device Status page of the Embedded Web Server, it is possible to see tray settings, the level of toner in the
toner cartridge, the percentage of life remaining in the photoconductor kit, and capacity measurements of certain
printer parts. To access the device status:

1

Type the printer IP address in the address field of your Web browser.

Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, print a network setup page and locate the IP address in
the TCP/IP section.

2

Click the Device Status tab.

Restricting access to printer menus

You can safeguard entry to menus by creating passwords and choosing specific menus to protect. Each time a protected
menu is selected, the user will be prompted to enter the correct password.

To protect printer menus using the Embedded Web Server:

1

Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser.

Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then print a network setup page and locate the IP
address in the TCP/IP section.

Click Web Page Password Protect. It is possible to protect entry to the Paper, Reports, Settings, and Network/Ports
menus.

From this screen, you may set a User Password and an Advanced Password. Determine which password will access
each menu. You may also choose not to protect a menu.

Note: The Security menu is always password

‑protected when either an Advanced Password or a User Password

has been set. If both passwords have been set, then only the Advanced Password is valid for access to the
Security menu mode.
