A standard web browser can be used to change your print server settings using the HTTP (Hyper Text
Transfer Protocol).
Note
• We recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 ® (or greater) or Firefox ® 1.0 (or greater) for Windows ® and
Safari™ 1.0 for Macintosh
®
. Please also make sure that JavaScript and Cookies are always enabled in
whichever browser you use. We recommend you upgrade to Safari™ 1.2 or greater to enable JavaScript.
If a different web browser is used, make sure it is compatible with HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1.
• To use a web browser, you will need to know the IP address of the print server.
a Type “http://printer’s IP address/” into your browser. (where “printer’s IP address” is the printer’s IP
address or the node name)
„ For example:
http://192.168.1.2/ (if the printer’s IP address is 192.168.1.2.)
http://BRN123456/ (if the printer’s node name is BRN123456.)
Note
If you have edited the hosts file on your computer or are using a 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. To learn how to print the Network Configuration List, see Printing the
Network Configuration List on page 105. The NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the
node name and by default it will appear as “BRNxxxxxx” for a wired network or “BRWxxxxxx” for a
wireless network (where “xxxxxx” is the last six digits of the Ethernet address).
