Web Based Management
How to use a Web Browser to manage your Device
Overview
A standard Web Browser (we recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer ® version 6.0 or later, or Netscape
Navigator ® version 7.1 or later) can be used to manage your machine using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer
Protocol). You can get the following information from a printer on your network using a web browser:
■ Printer status information.
■ Change Fax configuration items, such as General Setup. Quick-Dial settings and Remote Fax.
■ You can also change network settings such as TCP/IP information.
■ Software version information of the machine and print/scan server.
■ Change network and machine configuration details.
You must use the TCP/IP protocol on your network and have a valid IP address programmed into the
print/scan server and your computer.

To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see Chapter 2 Configuring your network
printer.

You can use a web browser on most computing platforms, for example, Macintosh and Unix users are
also able to connect to the machine and manage it.

You can also use the BRAdmin Professional utility to manage the printer and its network configuration.
How to connect to your machine using a Browser
Type http://printer’s IP Address / into your browser (you can also use the NetBIOS name of the
print/scan server, if you are in a Microsoft Windows domain/Workgroup environment). Enter the DNS name
of the machine if connecting to a network that uses the DNS protocol.
