Using RemoteUI Using RemoteUI Using RemoteUI Using RemoteUI RemoteUI is software with which you can access the printer via the network from your Web browser to confirm the printer status, operate jobs, and configure the settings. Since the software (Web server) for using RemoteUI is built in the printer, preparing software other than a Web browser is unnecessary. You can use RemoteUI if an imagePROG- RAF printer on a network is connected to your computer. If you start your Web browser and specify the IP address of the printer, the RemoteUI screen is displayed, and you can use RemoteUI. Important•To use RemoteUI, an IP address must be set on the printer in advance. For the method of setting an IP address, see"Configuring the IP Address on the Printer."→P.679 What You Can Do With RemoteUI With RemoteUI, you can access the printer via a network, configure network settings, and display the current status of the printer, various types of information, the processing status of jobs, etc. Starting RemoteUI Start RemoteUI by the following operations. 1 Start your Web browser. 2 Enter the following URL in Address or Location . http://printer IP address or name/ Example: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ 3 The RemoteUI screen is displayed. Note •The screen slightly differs depending on the model of printer. Configuring the Network With RemoteUI For details on configuring printer settings for networks, refer to the following topics. • Configuring the Printer's TCP/IP Network Settings With RemoteUI→P.683 • Configuring the Printer's AppleTalk Network Settings→P.698 • Configuring the Printer's NetWare Network Settings With RemoteUI→P.691 • Specifying Printer-Related Information→P.700 iPF6400 Using RemoteUIUser's Guide Network Setting Using RemoteUI 677
Important•For the Web browser, use Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later, Internet Explorer 5.01 or later, or Firefox 1.5 or later. For Mac OSX, Safari 1.32 or later or 2.03 or later also is supported.•This cannot be used connected via a proxy server. In environments where a proxy server is used, add the printer's IP ad-dress to Exceptions (addresses accessed without a proxy server) in the web browser proxy server settings. (Settings mayvary depending on the network environment.)•Enable JavaScript and cookies in the web browser.•If you access RemoteUI with the printer name instead of its IP address, make sure the DNS settings are correctly configured.•Depending on the network environment, you may not be able to start RemoteUI.•Confirm whether System Setup > Use RemoteUI is set to On on the Control Panel of the printer.

The printer's IP address is configured automatically when you install the printer driver following the instructions in the Setup Guide. Configure the IP address by using imagePROGRAF Device Setup Utility, the printer Control Panel, or ARP or PING commands, if the IP address is changed, or if you change the printer connection mode to a network connection. For details on configuring the IP address, refer to the following topics. • Configuring the IP Address Using imagePROGRAF Device Setup Utility→P.703 (Windows) • Configuring the IP Address Using the Printer Control Panel→P.679 • Configuring the IP Address Using ARP and PING Commands→P.680 Important•If you use a DHCP server for automatic assignment of the printer's IP address, printing may no longer be possible after theprinter is turned off and on. This is because an IP address different from before has been assigned. Thus, when using DHCPserver functions, consult your network administrator and configure the settings in one of the following ways.•Configure the setting for dynamic DNS updatingIn the printer menu, either set DNS Dync update to On, or activate the setting Enable DNS Dynamic Update in Remo-teUI. (See "Menu Settings.")→P.648 (See "Configuring the Printer's TCP/IP Network Settings With RemoteUI.")→P.683•Configure the setting for assignment of the same IP address each time the printer starts up Note •We recommend configuring the printer's IP address even if you will use the printer in networks other than TCP/IP networks.Configuring the printer's IP address enables you to use RemoteUI to configure the network settings and manage the printerwith a web browser.For details on RemoteUI, see "Using RemoteUI."→P.677 Configuring the IP Address Using the Printer Control Panel Configuring the IP Address Using the Printer Control Panel This topic describes how to configure the printer's IP address on the Control Panel. 1 On the Tab Selection screen of the Control Panel, press ◀ or ▶ to se- lect the Settings/Adj. tab ( ). iPF6400 Configuring the IP Address on the PrinterUser's Guide Network Setting Initial Settings 679
