Starting the Remote UI

The portal page appears when you start the Remote UI. You can check the current status of the device including consumable information on the portal page.

Before You Start the Remote UI

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

Specify the Network Settings

To start the Remote UI, enter the IP address of the machine in your Web browser. Check the IP address configured for the machine before performing this operation. Setting an IP Address
If the imagePRESS Server is installed, Configure the settings in <Network Settings> from <Fiery> in the machine's control panel. For details on how to configure the settings, see the manual of the imagePRESS Server.
Check the IP address of the imagePRESS Server beforehand. If the IP address is not known, contact your network administrator.

Enable the Remote UI

Set <Remote UI> to <On>. It is also recommended that <Device Information Settings> ( (Settings/Registration)  <Management Settings>  <Device Information Settings>) is configured.
 (Settings/Registration) <Management Settings> <License/Other> <Remote UI> <On> (Set On/Off of <Use TLS> if necessary)
Before changing the settings of the machine, set your Web browser to enable all cookies and use JavaScript.
The Remote UI setting is made effective only after turning the machine's main power OFF, and then ON.
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 imagePRESS Server 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.
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.

Changing the Default Password

For security reasons, you cannot log in to the Remote UI using the default password (7654321) for the Administrator user. Log in to the Remote UI after changing the password of the Administrator user from the control panel.
 (Settings/Registration) <Management Settings> <User Management> <Authentication Management> <Register/Edit Authentication User> change the password for "Administrator"
When both the machine and the Active Directory server are set as user authentication devices (Configuring the User Login Methods and Authentication Devices), the time setting of the Active Directory server needs to match that of the machine.
Using TLS encryption for communication
When you want to encrypt the Remote UI communication, configure the TLS key and certificate (Configuring the Key and Certificate for TLS), go to the <Remote UI> setting (<Remote UI>) and set <Use TLS> to <On>, then turn the machine OFF and back ON.
Logging in to the Remote UI using the default password of the Administrator user
You can also set to allow logging in to the Remote UI using the default password of the Administrator user. ( (Settings/Registration) <Management Settings> <Security Settings> <Authentication/Password Settings> <Password Settings> <Allow Use of Default Password for Remote Access> <On>)
