Web Image Monitor supports screen reader software. We recommend JAWS 7.0 or a later version.
Display and operation problems can occur if you do not enable JavaScript and cookies, or if you are using a non-recommended web browser.
If you are using a proxy server, change the web browser settings. Contact your administrator for information about the settings.
If you click your browser's back button but the previous page does not appear, click the browser's refresh button and try again.
Machine information is not automatically updated. To perform an update, click [Refresh] in the display area.
We recommend using Web Image Monitor in the same network.
If the machine is firewall-protected, it cannot be accessed from computers outside the firewall.
When using the machine under DHCP, the IP address may be automatically changed by the DHCP server settings. Enable DDNS setting on the machine, and then connect using the machine's host name. Alternatively, set a static IP address to the DHCP server.
If the HTTP port is disabled, connection to the machine using the machine's URL cannot be established. SSL setting must be enabled on this machine. For details, consult your network administrator.
When using the SSL encryption protocol, enter "https://(machine's IP address or host name)/".
When you are using Firefox, fonts and colors may be different, or tables may be out of shape.
If you are using Internet Explorer 7.0/8.0 under an IPv6 environment, enter the machine's host name, not the IP address, in the browser's address bar.
When using a host name under Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008/2008 R2/2012 with IPv6 protocol, perform host name resolution using an external DNS server. The host file cannot be used.
To use JAWS 7.0 under Web Image Monitor, you must be running Windows operating system and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or a later version.
If you are using Internet Explorer 8, downloading will be slower than with other browsers. To download faster with Internet Explorer 8, open the browser's [Internet Options] menu and register the machine's URL as a trusted site. Then disable SmartScreen filter for trusted sites. For details about these settings, see Internet Explorer 8 Help.
You can access Web Image Monitor more quickly by registering the machine's URL as a bookmark. Note that the URL you register must be the URL of the top page, which is the page that appears before login. If you register the URL of a page that appears after login, Web Image Monitor will not open properly from the bookmark.
If user authentication is activated, you are required to enter your login user name and password to use Web Image Monitor. For Details, see "Logging In Using Web Image Monitor", Getting Started.
When you configure settings using Web Image Monitor, do not login from the control panel. The settings you have configured using Web Image Monitor may become invalid.
