Advanced Configuration

After setting up the PrintServer with the Setup Wizard (located on the CD-ROM and explained in the Quick Installation), the PrintServer will be ready for use. However, if you’d like to change its advanced settings, use the PrintServer’s web-based utility. This chapter will describe each web page of the utility and each page’s key functions. You can access the utility via your web browser on a networked computer.

These are the main tabs: Setup, Protocol, Wireless, Printer, Status, and Exit. Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs, except for the Setup and Exit tabs.

How to Access the Web-Based Utility

To access the web-based utility, launch the web browser of your computer, and enter the PrintServer’s IP address in the Address field. (If you do not know its IP address, double-click the PrintServer Utility icon. The IP address of the PrintServer will be displayed on the Print Server Information screen.) Then press the Enter key.

On the login screen, leave the User name field blank, and enter the password you set when you ran the Setup Wizard (the default password is admin). Click the OK button.
