Configuration

The PrintServer has been designed to be functional right out of the box with the default settings in the Setup Wizard. However, if you’d like to change these settings, you can use the PrintServer’s web-based utility. This chapter will describe each web page in the utility and each page’s key functions. The utility can be accessed via your web browser through the use of a computer.

How to Access the Web-Based Utility

To access the web-based utility, launch your web browser, and enter the PrintServer’s IP address in the Address field. Then press Enter.

Internet Explorer Address Bar

NOTE: Use the PrintServer’s IP address that you noted during the Setup Wizard. If you did not note the IP address or if you have lost it, insert the Setup CD-ROM, and when the Welcome screen appears, click Setup Wizard. Follow the instructions until you reach the third screen, where the IP address is shown. After you note the IP address, click Back until you reach the Welcome screen of the Setup Wizard. Click Exit.

How to Use the Web-Based Utility

The web-based utility has five main tabs: Setup, Protocol, Printer, Status, and Exit. Click a tab to display its screen. If the tab is divided into subfunctions, the names of those subfunctions will appear below the main tab. Select the desired subfunction to display its screen. The default screen for a tab is its first listed subfunction.

NOTE: Screens are identified by the convention Tab > Sub, where Tab is a main tab, and Sub is one of its subfunctions. For example, the Protocol > TCP/IP screen appears when you click the Protocol tab, then the TCP/IP subfunction.

Use the tabs and subfunctions to navigate through the utility and make all necessary changes to the PrintServer’s settings. When you have finished making changes on a screen, click the Save Settings button to save the changes, or click the Cancel Changes button to undo your changes.

To exit the utility, click the Exit tab.

The Setup Tab

The Setup screen is the first screen you see when you access the web-based utility. This screen allows you to change the PrintServer ‘s general settings.
