    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 IP Address on the Printer
    Configuring the IP Address on the Printer
    You must configure the printer's IP address before using the printer in a TCP/IP network.
    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
