When this is first clicked, a page appears for downloading the Web Image Monitor Help from the Internet, using the Web browser.

Login/Logout

Click the [Login] button to open a dialog box where you can enter your user name and password. When you have logged on, this button changes to the [Logout] button.

Note

  • The link address of the [Help] button can be set using the [Configuration: Webpage] page (only when you are logged on as Administrator).

Logging On

To Top

To change device settings, click [Login] in the header area to log on to the device. Only predefined user roles ("Administrator" and "Supervisor") are allowed to log on to the device. Available Web Image Monitor operations differ between before and after logging on as Administrator or Supervisor.

Before logging on

Immediately after connecting to the device via a Web browser, the [Login] button is displayed in the header area.
In this status (before logging on), you can check device status, device settings, or job status displayed on the Web Image Monitor pages. You can also print or delete jobs displayed in the list of sample print, locked print, hold print, or stored print documents stored on the device.
However, you cannot change device settings.

When logging on as Administrator

To log on to the device as Administrator, click the [Login] button in the header area, and then enter the user name and password of Administrator.
When logged on as Administrator, the user can change device settings as well as check device status, device settings, or job status.

When logging on as Supervisor

To log on to the device as Supervisor, click the [Login] button in the header area, and then enter the user name and password of Supervisor.
When logged on as Supervisor, the user can change or delete the Administrator or Supervisor password on the [Configuration: Device Settings: Program/Change Administrator] page.
Supervisor is responsible for changing the password as needed; he/she cannot perform any other operation. A password is required for managing the device. For example, in case the Administrator should lose his/her password, it would become impossible to log on to the device to change its settings. Supervisor is provided to address this problem. As the Supervisor has the right to change the Administrator password, the Administrator is still able to change device settings.
