Understanding 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.

Embedded 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.

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.
