Overview of the Remote UI

The Remote UI (Remote User Interface) software comes preinstalled in the machine and enables you to access the machine’s functions by using a web browser. For example, the Remote UI enables you to check the job status, delete jobs, and edit various settings. To use the Remote UI, all you need is a web browser and a network connection between your computer and the machine.

First set the IP (Internet Protocol) address for the machine from the machine’s control panel and set up the necessary network connection. Then start your web browser and enter the IP address of the machine. The Remote UI top page is displayed on your computer screen and is ready for you to log in.

You can operate the machine both with the control panel and from the Remote UI.

The major functions available on the Remote UI are as follows:

Viewing the machine status

You can view the current status of the machine, such as the remaining paper or toner amount, on your computer screen. (Viewing the Machine Status and Information)
