CentreWare IS displays the current printer status, and enables you to change printer settings from the convenience of your desktop using a web browser on a networked computer. Use CentreWare IS to change printer settings instead of using the printer control panel.

The Home page displays information about printer features, options, and important printer conditions. Any optional features installed on the printer are displayed under Features and are indicated by a checkmark next to the feature name. Click any of the links on this page to access CentreWare IS features and function settings. Access the Home page by entering the IP address of the desired printer into your web browser address field. If you are already in CentreWare IS, you can return to this page by clicking the CentreWare Internet Services logo in the top left corner of any page.

CentreWare IS provides access to the printer's embedded web server. It requires a web browser and a TCP/IP connection between the printer and the network (in Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX environments). TCP/IP and HTTP must be enabled in the printer, and a web browser that supports JavaScript is required. If JavaScript is disabled, a warning message appears and the pages may not function properly.

Status Message (left side of page)

The status message box appears on the left of the page, below the image of your Xerox printer. The status message gives quick indication of your printer's state at any time. This message is updated according to the specified values in the Polling Interval section of the General Status page.

Click the Refresh Status button to refresh the printer status immediately.
