iPF9400 Using RemoteUI Using RemoteUI Using RemoteUI RemoteUI is software with which you can access the printer via the network from your Web browser to confirm the printer status, operate jobs, and configure the settings. Since the software (Web server) for using RemoteUI is built in the printer, preparing software other than a Web browser is unnecessary. You can use RemoteUI if an imagePROGRAF printer on a network is connected to your computer.
Using RemoteUI iPF9400 • For the Web browser, use Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later, Internet Explorer 5.01 or later, or Firefox 1.5 or later. For Mac OS Important X, Safari 1.32 or later or 2.03 or later also is supported. • This cannot be used connected via a proxy server.
