4247 Printers Remote Printer Management Utility
The Remote Printer Management Utility (RPMU) is a software tool for network administrator’s that allows
the configuration and control of 4247 printers remotely over a LAN. With this tool the installed printers can
be controlled, configured and organized easily. The main features are:
Device Discovery - Searches for the devices within a range of IP addresses.
Printer Organization - Printers connected to the network can be organized into logical groups in a
hierarchically structured tree.
Printer Status Report - Checks the printer's status and reports alarms.
Printer Configuration -Printers may be configured as needed from the administrator's workstation.
Change the configuration of single printers, or simultaneously change the configuration of multiple
printers in your enterprise, anywhere, and anytime.
Firmware Updating - Provides a firmware download function to upgrade the printer's firmware.
Remote Operator Panel Management - Provides a virtual operator panel for the remotely connected
printer at the administrator's workstation that allows performing all functions normally achieved pressing
the operator panel keys. The RPMU also provides the basic status management for third-party printers
compliant to the standard MIB objects. Visit our website to download this free software utility program.

Configuration Password
The 4247's configuration settings can be protected by a password to keep unauthorized users from
making changes. When you try to submit any 4247 configuration change, you will be asked for your user
name and password. At the prompt, enter the default user name = root and default password = root,
unless you have setup another user name and password with root privileges.
Storing and Saving Settings
When settings are configured on the 4247 and the SUBMIT button on the related page has been pressed,
you will be reminded to Reboot the printer to ensure the latest settings are in use. To reset the 4247, go to
the Home page, enter the Power On Reset page, and Click on the REBOOT PRINTER button.
Network Configuration
The 4247 IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address can be changed though the printer operator
panel or though these pages. Fixed and DHCP assignments of IP addresses are supported. On most
networks, you will want to assign a permanent IP address and disable DHCP. The gateway address tells
the printer which router or gateway to use to access other subnets or hosts. Simply add your router's IP
address as the default router. All packets destined for other subnets will be forwarded to the default router
for delivery to the destination host.
The following network settings can be configured through these pages.
