9 Remote Configuration of Printer IPDS Settings 9.1 Why Use a Browser Most IPDS emulation settings stored in the printer (the default IPDS settings) can be changed remotely using a browser. This method of changing settings is especially useful during printer installation to set all of the IPDS options to the values recommended by your system administrator. At a later time, any necessary changes can be made on each printer, either from a browser or via the operator panel. Using the browser, you can save new settings to a printer. Option changes will become active when the next IPDS host session starts. It is not possible to do everything from the browser that you can do from the operator panel; see section 9.3 on page 77. Finally, using a browser can also be useful to display selected information about IPDS Settings and IPDS Product Information. This can be used as an alternative or supplement to printing menu settings (as shown in Printing the Menu Settings Page on page 11.) 9.2 Remote Configuration Using a Browser A browser may be used to remotely configure most IPDS settings on printers attached to a LAN using a Standard Network port or MarkNet internal print servers. To access and change IPDS option settings through your browser: 1. End all IPDS sessions with the printer. This may involve ending all active AS/400 or iSeries writers and draining all active Mainframe printers. (see Note) 2. Access the printer web page by typing the IP address of the printer as the URL. 3. Select Settings  IPDS Settings. 4. All option values that may be changed remotely will be displayed. In addition, the IPDS Version will be displayed (read only). 5. Change option settings as desired. 6. Click Save at the bottom of each group of settings. After saving, the new values are sent and saved in the printer. The new setting will become active when the next IPDS host session is started. 7. Restart all IPDS sessions. Option changes will become active when the next IPDS host session starts. Note: If new values are submitted during an IPDS session, the new settings will not be used until the current IPDS session ends and a new IPDS session is established. Beside the Save button you will see a Reset button. If you have entered values in the page without submitting, and decide to start all over again, click Reset. The page will then display the values that were current when you opened the IPDS Settings page. 9.3 Functions that Cannot be Operated Remotely The following IPDS functions cannot be operated remotely: • Print Resource List - This operation is not shown. 77

Remote Configuration of Printer IPDS Settings

Why Use a Browser
Most IPDS emulation settings stored in the printer (the default IPDS settings) can be changed remotely
using a browser. This method of changing settings is especially useful during printer installation to set all
of the IPDS options to the values recommended by your system administrator. At a later time, any
necessary changes can be made on each printer, either from a browser or via the operator panel.
Using the browser, you can save new settings to a printer. Option changes will become active when the
next IPDS host session starts.
It is not possible to do everything from the browser that you can do from the operator panel; see
section 9.3 on page

shown in Printing the Menu Settings Page on page
11
.)
