Remote+UI

=What is Remote UI and what can I do with it?=

Remote UI is a web-browser based program that is built into the iPF series printers controller firmware. There is nothing to install, the embedded processor talks HTTP over IP. It can be used when the printer is connected via ethernet (not with USB connection).


 * Setup:**


 * Connect the printer via ethernet and set a fixed IP address and subnet mask from the printer control panel via Interface Settings -> TCP/IP ->
 * Open a browser (Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera, etc.) on a client on the same network, key in the IP address you specified and it should display.

There is a user mode and a password protected administrator mode (the initial password is empty). This is a similar approach as that used with network appliances like routers, etc. You can change setting, view job logs, cancel jobs, etc.

If you click on Administrator Mode, then click Logon, you will be able to see and/or edit the following information:


 * Device Manager
 * Status (Error information, Utility, Device Control)
 * Information
 * Features
 * Network
 * Job Manager
 * Print job (Cancel, etc.)
 * Print log (including information on how much ink each job used)
 * Device Selection (can change some settings that can be changed from printer control panel also)


 * Example:**

My iPF5000 is manually configured for an ethernet connection using IP address 192.168.1.50 If I open Firefox and type this IP address into the URL window, I get the following screen:
