To use Web Image Monitor and Web Interface, an IP address, login user name, and login password specific to each function are required. For details, consult your administrator.
Display and operation problems can occur if you do not enable JavaScript and cookies, and if you are not using the recommended Web browser. Note that inappropriate security settings and use of a Web browser that is older than the recommended version can also result in display and operation problems.
If you are using a proxy server, change the Web browser settings. Contact your administrator for information about the settings.
If you click your browser's back button but the previous page does not appear, click the browser's refresh button and try again.
Printer information is not automatically updated. To perform an update, click [Refresh] in the display area.
We recommend using Web browser in the same network.
If the printer is firewall-protected, it cannot be accessed from computers outside the firewall.
When using the printer under DHCP, the IP address may be automatically changed by the DHCP server settings. Enable DDNS setting on the printer, and then connect using the printer's host name. Alternatively, set a static IP address to the DHCP server.
If the HTTP port is disabled, connection to the printer using the printer's URL cannot be established. SSL setting must be enabled on this printer. For details, consult your network administrator.
When using the SSL encryption protocol, enter "https://( printer's IP address or host name)/".
Internet Explorer must be installed on your computer. Use the most recent available version. We recommend Internet Explorer 6.0 or later.
When you are using Firefox, fonts and colors may be different, or tables may be out of shape.
When using a host name under Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008/2008 R2, or Windows Vista/7 with IPv6 protocol, perform host name resolution using an external DNS server. The host file cannot be used.
To use JAWS 7.0 under Web Image Monitor, you must be running Windows OS and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2, or a later version.
When using Web Image Monitor with Internet Explorer 7.0 in an IPv6 environment, enter the host name of this printer, instead of the IP address, in the Web browser's URL bar. For the procedure for adding the host name of this printer to the host file, see "Using a Host Name Instead of an IPv4 Address", Printer Reference.
