NDERSTANDING PRINTING OPTIONS

The printer offers many ways to modify printing options. The
Operator Panel provides an interface at the printer. The Embedded
Web Server (EWS) provides remote access via HTML. You can access
features of the printer driver through your application or through
your Printers and Faxes menu (on Windows). When accessing the
driver through your Printers and Faxes Menu, you reach the Printing
Properties window and are setting global options. When accessing
the driver through an application, the Printing Properties entered
apply only to documents printed through the application. Printing
Properties set through an application supersede settings entered in
any other way.

Certain printer settings, such as number of copies, duplexing, and
collating may be set from the Print window provided by your
application. These settings may be used instead of similar settings
accessed via the driver. The settings from your application’s Print
window are reflected in the Printing Properties accessed from the
driver.

MBEDDED WEB SERVER

This printer comes with an embedded web server (EWS). The EWS
resides on the hardware and no installation is required. The EWS can
be used from any remote station via HTTP access. The EWS contains
access to all printer features and presents them as HTML web pages.
The changes made via the EWS change the printer settings in the
same manner as the Operator Panel. To change settings for specific
documents, you should use your Printer Properties options within
the driver.

To access the embedded web server you must be on an IP-based
network and have access to a web browser.

B930n User’s Guide> 15

In your web browser, type the IP address assigned to the printer.
For example http://192.0.0.1

NOTE

> If there is a conflict between settings in the Operator

Panel, Printing Preferences, or Embedded Web Server and
printer settings set via your application, the application
settings supersede any other setting.

The EWS interface consists of a left-navigation area and a display
area. Use the left-navigation area to locate the desired items and
make any configuration changes in the display area. The items
available vary depending on your user login permissions. The default
administrator login is “root” and the password is the last four digits
of the printer’s MAC address. Be sure to change this password after
the first administrative login.

NOTE

> The username and password are case sensitive.

RIVER PRINTER PROPERTIES
