USING YOUR PRINTER FROM A COMPUTER 29
USING THE WEB SERVER (WIFI MODEL)
Permits simple, trouble-free management of a printer (set as network peripheral). This function is
available only if the Wireless connection (Wi-Fi mode) is activated from the Toolbox program. Using the
internet (WEB) browser, you can check status, configure network parameters and access printer
functions.
When using the printer network mode, you must be careful when entering network keys in order to be
able to use it correctly.
The network keys that can be set are of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) or WPA types.
WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access. This method provides interoperable protection based on
standards promoting a considerable increase in the level of data protection and access control on
wireless LANs. To improve data encryption, WPA uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol). For stricter
user authentication, WPA implements EAP/PSK (Extensible Authentication Protocol).
note: WPA supports two basic solutions: Enterprise and Home/ SOHO. In the Enterprise environment
with IT resources, WPA access is used together with an authentication server to manage and control
centralised access. In a Home/SOHO environment, WPA is executed in a special home mode called PSK
(Pre-Shared Key) which uses manually-entered passwords or keys for protection. PSK is designed for
simple installation by the user at home or in the small office.
note: Toolbox software with Wi-Fi settings is compatible with the Windows 2000/XP,
Macintosh OS X 10.2 version or higher environment.

1 From the system browser, enter the printer IP address in the browser address field (if this has been set
manually), or from the menu

note: The default password is “admin123“ .
note: When modifying the wireless network settings or IP address from the Web Server, the connection
may be lost. If this occurs you may need to use the new settings to reconnect. If the printer loses the
network connection, you may need to restore the pre-defined values and reinstall the software.
note: You cannot disable TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol).
This protocol is necessary for communications in “Web Server“ mode.
