48 Using Printer Manager
Start and Stop Printer Manager
The CR500 printer includes Printer Manager, a web-based interface that displays information
about the printer and provides setup and troubleshooting tools. Printer Manager is available
through a web browser. Use a current browser, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome.
Printer Manager User Access Levels
The Username field controls the level of access to information and settings that correspond to
the user’s job responsibility.
WebUser
WebUser access allows users to view status information. A password is not required. The
WebUser access level typically is used by the person responsible for printing cards. Other
responsibilities can include cleaning the printer, ordering printer supplies, or printing a daily or
weekly log of card production.
WebAdmin
WebAdmin access allows an administrator to make minor adjustments to the printer. The
WebAdmin user has access to configuration options and the use of diagnostics tools for
troubleshooting. The WebAdmin user also can specify a password (using the Printer Settings >
Update Password option) for WebAdmin and WebUser access-level users.
In a card production environment, the WebAdmin access-level user typically sets up the card
design, verifies communication with external data sources, and tracks printer activity and
performance.
WebService
WebService access has all of the above adjustments with additional access to test and adjust
motors, sensors, and other internal components.
The WebService user typically is an Entrust Datacard-trained service provider.
