HTTP (Browser): Activating New Values By Rebooting

If you are changing settings on more than one configuration

page, it is usually a good idea to wait until you’re done with

everything before rebooting.

9.7. Activating New Values By Rebooting

New values can be activated remotely by clicking one of the

two “Reboot” items in the Main Group "Actions”.

•“

Reboot (immediate)

” reboots the Intermate1xx

immediately, terminating any current print job and. Jobs

queued after a terminated job are not affected.

•“

Reboot (controlled)

” performs a delayed reboot. A

reboot command is added to the job queue. The reboot

is carried out when there are no more jobs known to the

Intermate1xx.
