Web Print Manager Tool User Guide
Web PMT Overview
As part of the AccXES firmware, the Web Printer Manager Tool (Web PMT) is accessed from
your workstation using the Netscape 7.0 (or newer) or Internet Explorer 5.5 (or newer) web
browser. To access the Web PMT, you need to enter the IP address of your printer in the
URL box of your browser ("Address" in Explorer or "Location" in Netscape) and press
ENTER
.
The Web PMT enables three major functions:
Ÿ
Provides print job management and status tracking
Ÿ
Provides control over the printer’s default settings
Ÿ
Provides a method to enable job accounting for printing, copying and scanning media
usage data to be saved in the AccXES Controller’s job log file. The data is retrieved
via an External Account Server, such as the Account Management Tool (AMT).
Note that this tool does not manipulate any Network Operating System print queues, such as
UNIX lpr/lpd queues, or Novell print queues.
Security
Any user can view Web PMT pages. The printer password is required to make any changes
.

Click on the SESSION SETUP link. This page is used to enter the printer password
for the current printer session. If the entered password matches the printer’s

Click on the PRINTER DEFAULTS link and the top page of the Printer Defaults pages
will be displayed. The Printer Defaults pages are organized into a number of groups
and subgroups. The top page of the Printer Defaults pages is the Configuration
subgroup of the UTILITIES group. This page is used to view the current configuration
data and go to the other Printer Defaults pages.
The Side Menu is used to access the various other Printer Defaults pages. Clicking
on a Side Menu group or subgroup will display the page appropriate to the menu
selection. You can only make changes to these pages if you entered the printer
password from the Session Setup selection.
