GCC Printers 21 Series manual Accessing WebAdmin

Accessing WebAdmin

In order to access the printer using WebAdmin, the printer must be attached to an Ethernet network and running TCP/IP. If the printer has not been assigned an IP address, consult Chapter 7 of this manual, “Networking the Elite 21 Series Printer.”

WebAdmin can be accessed one of two ways. If you know the IP address of the printer, you can type the address directly into the Address field of your web browser. For example, if the printer’s IP address is 1.2.3.4, you would type in the following in the Address field:

http://1.2.3.4

If the IP address of the printer is not known, or if there are multiple GCC printers on the network, you can also use the MAP (Management Access Program) software included with the printer. This software is a Windows-based utility which locates GCC printers on the network.

To use the MAP utility, run the MAP installer on the Elite 21 CD-ROM by inserting the CD-ROM in the PC, opening the Network folder on the CD, opening the MAP 3.72 folder inside this folder and double-clicking the SETUP.EXE file icon. This will install the MAP program and include it on the Programs menu of Windows.

Before running MAP, you should run the MAP Setup utility to set whether MAP should look for printers using TCP/IP, IPX/SPX or both. The default setting is for the utility to check both, however this can cause error messages to appear if one or the other of the protocols is not enabled on your PC.

To run MAP, go to the Start button of Windows, then to Programs and down to MAP. Select the MAP Setup item in the MAP folder. This will open a window as shown on the next page:
