Using Web Based Management (web browser) to change print server settings

3

A standard web browser can be used to change your print server settings using the HTTP (Hyper Text 
Transfer Protocol).

Note

We recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0

®

 (or higher) or Firefox

®

 1.0 (or higher) for Windows

®

 and 

Safari™ 1.0 for Macintosh

®

. Please also make sure that JavaScript and Cookie are always enabled in 

whichever browser you use. We recommend you upgrade to Safari™ 1.2 or higher to enable JavaScript. 
To use a web browser, you will need to know the IP address of the print server.

a

Type 

http://printer_ip_address/

 into your browser. (Where 

printer_ip_address

 is the IP 

address or the print server name)

For example:

http://192.168.1.2/ (if the printer’s IP address is 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 
“

BRWxxxxxx

” (where “

xxxxxx

” is the last six digits of the Ethernet address).
