How to configure the print server settings using Web Based

Management (web browser)

13

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.
To use a web browser, you will need to know the IP address of the print server.

a

Start your web browser.

b

Type http://printer_ip_address/ into your browser. (Where printer_ip_address is the IP
address or the node 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 a Domain Name System, you can also enter

the DNS name of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS, you can also enter
the NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name can be seen on the printer settings page. The
NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node name and by default it will appear as
“BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx” for a wired network or “BRWxxxxxxxxxxxx” for a wireless network.

• For Macintosh
