Starting the Remote UI
1
Before You Start
Starting the Remote UI
Start the Remote UI using a web browser.
1
Start the web browser.
Enter the following URL in the address entry field, then press
2
the [ENTER] key on your keyboard.
http://<the IP address of this printer>/
When you want to specify the settings with the Remote UI using SSL encrypted
communication, enter "https://<the IP address or name of the printer>". If the
[Security Alert] dialog box or other dialog box appears, follow the directions in
the message.
1-6
Starting the Remote UI
The screen of the Remote UI is displayed.
IMPORTANT
•
If you are not sure about the IP address of this printer, ask the administrator of the
printer.
•
If the host name of the printer is registered in the DNS server, you can enter
["hostname"."domain name"] instead of the IP address.
Example: http://my_printer.xy_dept.company.com/
•
If the screen of the Remote UI is not displayed, make sure that the entered IP
address or ["hostname"."domain name"] is correct. When the screen of the Remote
UI is not displayed even if the entered address is correct, consult your network
administrator.
•
SSL encrypted communication can be used only when an optional hard disk is
installed. To use SSL encrypted communication, a key and its certificate need to
have been created and the key needs to have been registered as the default key.
For details on the SSL encrypted communication function and the procedure for
registering a key, see "Creating/Registering/Changing a Key and Its Certificate," on
p. 3-4.
•
If the Remote UI does not start when SSL is enabled, there is a possibility that the
file related to key management is broken. From the control panel, select
INTERFACE MENU
NETWORK MENU ➞ REMOTE UI SET. ➞ SSL, and then
make sure that OFF is specified. After that, restart the printer, and then regenerate
the key and certificate and specify the settings for SSL from the Remote UI. After
the key management and SSL setting, restart the printer again.
•
You cannot connect the computer to the printer via a proxy server. If you are using
a proxy server, perform the following setting. (The setting varies depending on the
network environment. Consult your network administrator.)
- On the settings for the proxy server of the web browser, add the IP address of this
printer to [Exceptions] (The addresses that do not use the proxy server).
