This chapter covers basic administrative support tasks using the Embedded Web Server. For more advanced system support tasks, see the Networking Guide on the Software and Documentation CD or the Embedded Web Server Administrator's Guide at http://support.lexmark.com.

Checking the virtual display

1Open an Embedded Web Server associated with your printer.

Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser. If you do not know the IP address of the printer, you can:

•View the IP address on the printer control panel in the TCP/IP section under the Networks/Ports menu.

•Print a network setup page or the menu settings pages and locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section.

2Check the virtual display that appears in the top left corner of the screen.

The virtual display works as an actual display would work on a printer control panel, showing printer messages.

Checking the status of the printer

1Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser. If you do not know the IP address of the printer, you can:

•View the IP address on the printer control panel in the TCP/IP section under the Networks/Ports menu.
