This section explains how to monitor and configure the printer.
Using Web Image Monitor
• You cannot configure the printer settings using Web Image Monitor from a computer connected to
the USB device server's network. Be sure to access Web Image Monitor from the printer's network.
Using Web Image Monitor, you can check the printer status and change settings.
Available operations
The following operations can be remotely performed using Web Image Monitor from a client
computer.
• Displaying printer status or settings
• Checking the print job status or history
• Interrupting currently printing jobs
• Resetting the printer
• Managing the Address Book
• Configuring printer settings
• Configuring network protocol settings
• Configuring security settings
Configuring the printer
To perform the operations from Web Image Monitor, TCP/IP is required. After the printer is
configured to use TCP/IP, operations from Web Image Monitor become available.
Web Image Monitor supports screen reader software. We recommend JAWS 7.0 or a later
version.
• Display and operation problems may occur if you do not enable JavaScript and cookies, or if you
are using a non-recommended Web browser.
• If you are using a proxy server, change the Web browser settings. Contact your administrator for
information about the settings.
• We recommend using Web Image Monitor in the same network.
• If the printer is firewall-protected, it cannot be accessed from computers outside the firewall.
• If the printer under DHCP is used, the IP address may be changed automatically by the DHCP
server settings. Enable DDNS setting on the printer, and then connect using the printer's host name.
Alternatively, set a static IP address to the DHCP server.
• If the HTTP port is disabled, a connection to the printer using the printer's URL cannot be
established. SSL settings must be enabled on this printer. For details, contact your network
administrator.
• If Firefox is used, fonts and colors may be different, or tables may not appear properly configured.
• When using a host name under Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008/2008 R2/2012/2012
R2 with IPv6 protocol, perform host name resolution using an external DNS server. The host file
cannot be used.
• To use JAWS 7.0 under Web Image Monitor, you must be running Windows and Internet Explorer
6.0 or a later version.
• If you are using Internet Explorer 8.0 or higher, downloading will be slower than with other
browsers. To download faster with Internet Explorer 8.0 or higher, open the browser's [Internet
Options] menu and register the printer's URL as a trusted site, and then disable SmartScreen filter
for trusted sites. For details about these settings, see the Internet Explorer Help files.
• You can access Web Image Monitor more quickly by registering the printer's URL as a bookmark.
Note that the URL you register must be the URL of the top page, which is the page that appears
before login. If you register the URL of a page that appears after login, Web Image Monitor will
not open properly from the bookmark.
• If user authentication is activated, you must enter your login user name and password to use Web
Image Monitor. For Details, see page 333 "Displaying the top page".
• When you configure settings using Web Image Monitor, do not log in from the control panel. The
settings you have configured using Web Image Monitor may become invalid.
Displaying the top page
There are two modes available with Web Image Monitor: guest mode and administrator mode.
Displayed items may differ depending on the printer type.
In the guest mode, the printer status, settings, and print job status can be viewed, but the printer
settings cannot be changed.
Administrator mode
This mode requires an administrator login to enter.
In the administrator mode, you can configure various printer settings.
• When entering an IPv4 address, do not begin segments with zeros. For example: If the address is
"192.168.001.010", you must enter it as "192.168.1.10".
1. Start your Web browser.
2. Enter "http://(printer's IP address or host name)/" in your Web browser's address bar.
The top page of Web Image Monitor appears.
If the printer's host name has been registered on the DNS or WINS server, you can enter it.
When setting SSL, a protocol for encrypted communication, under the environment in which server
authentication is issued, enter "https://(printer's IP address or host name)/".
3. To log in to Web Image Monitor in the administrator mode, click [Login] on the top page.
The window for entering the login user name and password appears.
4. Enter your login user name and password, and then click [Login].
For details about the login user name and password, contact your administrator.
Depending on the configuration of your Web browser, the login user name and password might be
saved. If you do not want to save them, configure your Web browser's settings so that this
information is not saved.
