SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used in network management systems to
monitor network-attached devices for conditions that require administrative attention. It consists
of a set of standards for network management including an application layer, a database
schema, and a set of data objects. Agents, or software modules, reside in the printer’s SNMPv3
engine. A manager is an SNMPv3 management application such as OpenView, that is used to
monitor and configure devices on the network. The agent responds to read (GET) and write
(SET) requests from the manager and can also generate alert messages, or Traps, based on
certain events.
SNMP settings can be configured in the EWS. You can also enable or disable Authentication
Failure Generic Traps on the printer. SNMPv3 can be enabled to create an encrypted channel for
secure printer management.
If your printer is locked, you must log in as a system administrator. For details, see Embedded
Web Server on page 12.
For information on configuring SNMP, see Configuring SNMP on page 53.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
FTP is a protocol for exchanging files over any network supporting the TCP/IP protocol, such as
the Internet or an intranet. You can use FTP to send print-ready files to the printer or to retrieve
job accounting records from the printer.

1. Launch your Web browser.
2. Type your printer’s IP address in the browser Address field. For details, see
Finding the
Printer’s IP Address on page 13.

information, including a description of the fields, click the Help button in the EWS to view the
