Convenient, Browser-Based Printer Manager
The browser-based Printer Manager allows users to check printer status and control printer
settings, all in a single interface. It is no longer necessary to remember what settings are
controlled by the driver, toolbox, or what settings are updated by printer diagnostics. Simply
enter the printer network IP or USB IP address in your web browser, and the Printer Manager
provides a single source of easy access to review and update settings, run a cleaning cycle or
check supplies status. The flexible Printer Manager enables users to set their own alert status
values for things like low supply warnings, and desired cleaning cycle intervals.
The Printer Manager has three levels of authorization: Web User, Web Admin and Web
Service, with password-protected Web Service settings to protect the printer from accidental
changes to settings. In addition, the Web Admin level allows the system administrator to
control access to Admin settings with a selectable password.
An additional benefit of the Printer Manager is that it facilitates the ability of a service provider
to troubleshoot issues and to quickly get end users back in operation. Printer settings now
reside in the printer, versus in the driver, which makes it easier for service providers to access
data regarding printer settings.
Accessing the Printer Manager is easy. Just use the printer display panel to look up the printer
network or USB IP address and enter it into your web browser. For basic printer settings and
controls, no password is needed.
The Printer Manager provides access to printer Status, Printer Setting and Maintenance drop-
down menus as shown in the screen shots below.
