Before You Start the Remote UI

Before starting the Remote UI, the administrator should perform the following:

Specify the Network Settings

Specify the settings for [Network] in [Preferences] (Settings/Registration), and check the IP address or host name of the machine. (See "Network Environment Setup Procedures.")

NOTE
If the imagePASS is installed, specify the settings for [Network Setup] in [Printer]. In addition, check the IP address of the imagePASS. If you do not know the IP address, contact your network administrator.

Enable the Remote UI

Set [Remote UI] to 'On' in [Management Settings] (Settings/Registration). It is also recommended that [Device Information Settings] in [Device Management] (Settings/Registration) is configured.

IMPORTANT
Before changing the settings of the machine, set your Web browser to enable all cookies and use JavaScript.

NOTE
By setting [Remote UI] to 'On', you can open a necessary port. However, it is recommended that it is set to 'Off', if a port is not used. If you leave the port open, an unauthorized user may access the machine.

Enabling the Remote UI

You must use the machine's control panel to enable the Remote UI.

Select [On] for <Use Reference Print> to allow printing by entering a URL.

NOTE
Any changes made to <Use SSL> are also applied to <Use SSL> in <Use HTTP> in [MEAP Settings] in [Management Settings] (Settings/Registration).

Press [OK] repeatedly until the Top screen appears → turn OFF the main power of the machine → turn ON the main power of the machine.

IMPORTANT
The Remote UI setting is made effective only after turning the machine's main power OFF, and then ON.

IMPORTANT
Connection via a proxy server is not possible. If your system environment has a proxy server, perform the following setting. (As these settings differ depending on the network environment, contact your network administrator.) Enter the IP address of the machine into Exceptions in the Web browser proxy server settings. If the control panel of the machine is being used for a particular operation and if you use the same operation on the Remote UI, the last setting is activated. If multiple Remote UIs are running simultaneously, the latest setting that was made is enabled. It is recommended that only one Remote UI be running at a time. To enter characters from a Web browser, use the characters that you can enter from the touch panel display of the machine. If you use the other characters, they may not be displayed/recognized properly on the machine.
