Overview

You can use a standard web browser to change your printer's settings using the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) or Hyper Text Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer (HTTPS). When using Web Based Management, the following actions are possible:

• Display printer status information
• Change network settings such as TCP/IP information
• Display software version information of the printer and print server
• Change network and printer configuration details

Configuring the Printer Settings Using Web Based Management (Web Browser)

A standard web browser can be used to change your print server settings using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol).

1. Type “http://printer_ip_address/” into your browser. (Where “printer_ip_address” is the IP address or the print server name.)
    For example (if the printer’s IP address is 192.168.1.2.):

    http://192.168.1.2/

   If you edited the Hosts file on your computer or are using a Domain Name System, you can also enter the print server's DNS name. The print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS, so you can also enter the print server's NetBIOS name. To find the NetBIOS name, click the Network tab and then select Network Status. The NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node name and appears as "BRW[ethernet address]".

    

2. Change the print server settings.

   The default login password to manage printer settings is marked "Pwd" and located either:

   • on the back or bottom of the printer
   • in the battery cavity
   • in the media compartment

   We recommend you change it to protect your printer from unauthorized access.

   For more information, see [IMPORTANT – Network Security Notice: Default Login Password Change] or [User's Guide] on the [Manuals] page.
   
   We recommend setting a login password to prevent unauthorized access to Web Based Management.

   1. Click Administrator.
   2. Type the password you want to use (up to 32 characters).
   3. Re-type the password in the Confirm new password box.
   4. Click Submit.
      The next time you access Web Based Management, enter a password in the Login box, and then click .
      After configuring the settings, logout by clicking .

   You can also set a password by clicking Please configure the password. on the printer’s web page if you have not set a login password.
