Connecting to a Computer/DFE Remotely from the Control Panel

The screen of a computer or DFE connected on a network can be displayed and operated on the machine's control panel by using the app installed on the machine.

Using the machine's control panel, you can remotely operate a computer or DFE, and perform operations such as instructing the machine to print.

Connecting to a Computer Remotely

Use the remote desktop client application to connect to a remote computer.

You can connect to an RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) server that supports RDP Version 8.0 (compatible).

Connecting to a DFE Remotely

Use the DFE connection application to connect to a DFE remotely.

The DFE connection icon is displayed only when a DFE is connected to the machine. Also, the name of the DFE connection icon varies depending on the type of DFE to be connected.

Note

  • You can connect to only one computer or DFE at one time.

  • This function cannot be used while you are operating on the screen of the machine's control panel remotely (see Allowing Remote Connection from a PC to the Control Panel).

  • Up to six computers and only one DFE can be registered as the destinations.

  • Press the Enter key twice to confirm the input text when using Microsoft IME (Roman input) on Fiery to enter Japanese characters while connecting to Fiery.
