CentreWare Internet Services

CentreWare IS is a printer administration and support tool using World Wide Web technology. With CentreWare IS software, you can access printer status and manage your printer over a TCP/IP network using a web browser.

CentreWare IS gives you the following capabilities:

■Receive printer status and manage printers, independent of network servers and operating systems.

■Define a link to your local web server’s support page.

■Access online manuals and technical support information by using built-in links to the Xerox web site.

CentreWare IS provides an easy-to-use, consistent interface that you can use for most of the configuration tasks described throughout this guide.

CentreWare IS requires only a World Wide Web browser and a TCP/IP connection between the printer and the network. (TCP/IP and HTTP must be enabled in the printer.)

For complete information on using CentreWare IS, see the CentreWare IS Online Help.

Accessing the Printer From a Browser

Once a TCP/IP connection to the printer has been established and the printer’s IP address is set, you can visit the printer’s Status page from your web browser by entering the printer’s URL (Uniform Resource Locator), just as you would to visit any web site. The printer’s URL is:

http://printer’s-IP-address/

where printer’s-IP-addressis the IP address or DNS name you set during TCP/IP configuration.

Example using IP address: http://192.1.1.1/

Example using DNS name: http://Xerox_Marketing/
