What can it do?

You can remotely check the status of a printer or specify its settings over the network using a computer's Web browser.

The following functions are available with Web Image Monitor:

  • Displaying printer status/settings

  • Checking print job status and history, or deleting the print job

  • Making printer settings

  • Network protocol settings

  • Security settings

Configuring the printer

This requires TCP/IP to be installed. After the printer has been configured to use TCP/IP, it will be possible to adjust settings using a Web Image Monitor.

For details about configuring the printer to use TCP/IP, see Setting Up the Machine on a Network.

Specifying the address
