HTML Operation

The inserter can be controlled and operated through its LAN port, connected via a LAN
or WAN, using a web browser such as the Microsoft Internet Explorer. The display in the
browser of the status or operation of the inserter has the appearance of web pages. This
chapter describes the factory-installed HTML pages, which are always available and cannot
be erased or overwritten.

NOTE: If your Ethernet connection to the inserter is unstable, try turning off the proxy

server in your Web browser. In Microsoft Internet Explorer, click

box,

and then click

.

Opening the Embedded Web Pages

Access the inserter using HTML pages as follows:

1.

Start the web browser program.

2.

Click in the Address field of the browser.

3.

Enter the inserter address in the Address field of the browser.

NOTE: If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the

factory-specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field.

4.

If you want the browser to display a page other than the default page (such as a
custom page that you have uploaded), enter a slash (/) and the file name to open.

NOTES:

The

Address

field of the browser should display the address in the following

format: <

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

>/<

optional_file_name

>.html.

The HTML language reserves certain characters for specific functions (see

Special Characters

” on page 28).

5.

Press the keyboard key. The inserter checks to see if it is password protected.
If the inserter is not password protected, it checks and downloads the HTML pages
(proceed to step 6).
If the inserter is password protected, the inserter downloads the Windows Security
page (see figure 9).
