How to configure the machine settings using Web Based
Management (web browser)
5
A standard web browser can be used to change your print server settings using the HTTP (Hyper Text
Transfer Protocol) or HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer).
Note
• We recommend to use HTTPS protocol for your security when configuring the settings using Web Based
Management.
• When you use the HTTPS protocol for Web Based Management configuration, your browser will display
a warning dialog.
a
Start your web browser.
b
Type “http://machine’s IP address/” into your browser (where “machine’s IP address” is the machine’s IP
address).
 For example:
http://192.168.1.2/
Note
• If you are using a Domain Name System or enable a NetBIOS name, you can enter another name such
as “SharedPrinter” instead of the IP address.
• For example:
http://SharedPrinter/
If you enable a NetBIOS name, you can also use the node name.
• For example:
http://brnxxxxxxxxxxxx/
The NetBIOS name can be seen in the Network Configuration Report (See Printing the Network
Configuration Report uu page 63).
• For Macintosh users, you can have easy access to the Web Based Management System by clicking the
machine icon on the Status Monitor screen. For more information: uu Software User's Guide.
