Embedded Web Server.

Request usage and accounting data by email
1. Obtain the IP address of the outgoing mail server (SMTP) from your IT department; this is required in
order to send email messages.
2. Ensure that the outgoing email server is configured to enable relaying of email messages that the
printer will send.
Open your Web browser and connect to the printer’s Embedded Web Server.
3. Open your Web browser and connect to the printer’s Embedded Web Server.

it.
10. Specify an email address for the printer. The latter does not need to be a valid email address; but it
should have the form of an email address. It serves to identify the printer when it sends email
messages. See
Turn usage information on and off on page 29 .
11. From the Configuration menu, select Printer settings.
12. In the Accounting section, if you set Require account IDto On, then every time someone sends a print
job to the printer, he or she must provide an account ID: for example, an ID corresponding to his or her
department or to a specific project or client. If someone sends a job without providing an account ID, the
printer will hold the unidentified job in the queue without printing it until an account ID is provided.
If you set Require account ID to Off, then the printer will print all jobs whether or not they have an
account ID.
