PrintNet Web Server
Overview
The PrintNet comes with a printer management tool that allows you
to monitor, configure, and manage both the printer and its print job.
The PrintNet comes with a web server that allows System
Administrators and users access to its printer management
capabilities from a standard web browser.
The PrintNet printer’s IP address is used as a URL, similar to the
URL of an Internet web page. When a web browser is activated and
the printer’s IP address is entered, the printer’s embedded web
server displays its home page, with links to the printer’s status and
configuration settings.
All of PrintNet's configuration settings are protected by a password
so unauthorized users cannot make changes. When you try to open
any of the PrintNet 's configuration pages, you are asked for your
user name and password. At the prompt, you need to enter
root
(unless you have another user configured with root privileges)
followed by the associated password. If there is no password, just
press
ENTER
. For more information on setting passwords, refer to
“PrintNet Security” on page 203.
After you configure the PrintNet settings, and click the SUBMIT
button on the related form, re-power the PrintNet to ensure the
latest settings are in use. To reset the PrintNet, go to the System
form under the Configuration Menu and click the REBOOT button.
The embedded PrintNet HTML server gives you the ability to
configure the network setting, printer operation, monitor printer
status, and to manage print jobs. The PrintNet Web page structure
is divided into several menus.
