Overview of This Function
The Remote UI (User Interface) is preinstalled software in the machine that enables you to access the machine's functions by using a web browser. For example, the Remote UI enables you to access the machine to check job status, execute jobs, and specify various settings. To be able to use the Remote UI, all you need is a web browser and a network connection between your computer and the machine.
In order to use the Remote UI, you must first enter an IP (Internet Protocol) address for the machine from the control panel and set up the necessary network connection. Once this is achieved, start your web browser and enter the machine's IP address. The Remote UI screen appears on your computer screen and is ready for use.
Checking the Status of the Machine from a Networked Computer
The Remote UI enables you to access the machine via a network, enabling you to display the current status and settings for the machine, and the status of all information and job processing. You can manage the machine from a computer connected to the network without having to perform operations on the machine itself.
When you enter the machine's IP address into your web browser, the Remote UI's top page or main screen is displayed on your computer screen, as shown below:
The right column of the Remote UI's top page contains the function buttons, which allow you to navigate the functions of the Remote UI.
(1)
Language Switch
From the drop-down list, you can select the language displayed on the screen.
(2)
Status Monitor/Cancel
Displays the current status of jobs, and permits changes to jobs being processed by the machine.
(3)
Settings/Registration
Enables you to specify or change various system settings on the machine. The settings you can set/change differ depending on whether you logged in as a general user or administrator.
(4)
Access Received/Stored Files
Enables you to print, move, or send documents stored in inboxes.
(5)

Enables you to print PDF (Portable Document Format), PS/EPS (PostScript/Encapsulated PostScript), XPS (XML Paper Specification), and image files that are stored in your computer or on the network without opening the files.
(6)
Address Book
Enables you to manage the machine's Address List, including the storing and editing of addresses.
(7)
Quick Menu
Enables you to create and register combinations of functions that are frequently used on the machine, so you can repeatedly reuse the same combination of functions.
(8)
User Access Control for Advanced Space
Enables you to manage user information stored in Advanced Space.
(9)
Portal Display Settings
You can change the order that the applications are displayed on the portal page.The management applications are displayed only when you logged in as the administrator.
NOTE
You can change the language displayed on the screen by selecting the desired language, regardless of the language used on the touch panel display of the machine.
When you change the displayed language from the Remote UI, the language may not be displayed correctly, if the displayed language is different from the language used on the touch panel display of the machine.
If Language Switch is set to 'On' from the touch panel of the machine, some characters are restricted and cannot be entered.
IMPORTANT
The operations available for the Remote UI vary between administrator and general user.
For Administrator:
The Administrator can specify all of the system settings of the machine. As a default, system manager settings (System Manager ID/System Password) are set on the machine.Thus, the Administrator must log in by entering the System Manager ID and the System Password. The default setting for both the System Manager ID and System Password is '7654321'. We recommend that you change both the System Manager ID and System Password. (See "Specifying the System Manager Settings.") For information on the settings that can only be set by the Administrator, see "Available Settings for Administrator Table."
For General Users:
Some operations on the Settings/Registration screen may be restricted.
Setting and Controlling the Machine from a Computer
The Remote UI enables you to pause and resume jobs, view and print jobs stored in inboxes, and change various settings from a computer without using the machine's control panel.
To return to the top page, click [To Portal]. This displays information such as machine status and product name.
Viewing documents stored in inboxes on your computer screen
You can view documents in the machine's inboxes in the TIFF or JPEG format by clicking [Access Received/Stored Files].
NOTE
To view documents in the TIFF or JPEG format, you need an application that supports the TIFF or JPEG format (e.g., Imaging for Windows).
