Web PMT Overview
As part of the AccXES firmware, the Web Printer Manager Tool (Web PMT) is accessed from your workstation using the Netscape 7.0 (or newer) or Internet Explorer 5.5 (or newer) web browser. To access the Web PMT, you need to enter the IP address of your printer in the URL box of your browser ("Address" in Explorer or "Location" in Netscape) and press ENTER.
The Web PMT enables three major functions:
ŸProvides print job management and status tracking
ŸProvides control over the printer’s default settings
ŸProvides a method to enable job accounting for printing, copying and scanning media usage data to be saved in the controller’s job log file. The data is retrieved via an External Account Server, such as the Account Management Tool (AMT).
Note that this tool does not manipulate any Network Operating System print queues, such as UNIX lpr/lpd queues, or Novell print queues.
