A standard web browser can be used to change your print server settings using the HTTP (Hyper Text
Transfer Protocol).
1
Type http://printer_ip_address/ into your browser. (Where printer_ip_address is the
IP address or the print server name.)
 For example (if the printer’s IP address is 192.168.1.2.):
http://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
“BRWxxxxxxxxxxxx” where “xxxxxxxxxxxx” is the Ethernet address.

Click [Network Configuration].
3
Enter a user name and a password. The User Name is “admin” and the default Password is “access”.
4
Click [OK].
