What is CentreWare Internet Services?

CentreWare Internet Services is a software application that allows you to display, configure, and change the current status or settings of your printer through a web browser.

CentreWare Internet Services enables you to configure network settings through a networked computer instead of on the printer's operator panel.
Some settings do not become active unless you reboot the printer from the CWIS application or manually turn off and on the printer after clicking the [Apply] button.
Turning off your printer will clear the data in the main memory but not the one stored in the optional device memory, if installed.

The layout of CentreWare Internet Services is divided into four frames. The details can be found in "Page Display Format".

User Authentication and Security

You may be prompted at times to enter a user name and password to change settings because of the authentication settings of the printer. You may even need a "certificate" if data encryption is enabled between your printer and browser.

• Changing the Settings
  You will be prompted to enter a user name and password if [Enabled] is selected under the [Properties] tab > [Security] > [Administrator Settings] > [Administrator Mode].
  If prompted, enter the administrator login ID and password registered on the printer.
  The default ID and password are "11111" and "x-admin".
  
  
• Encrypting Transmissions
  The data transmitted between the printer and web browsers can be encrypted. To enable this feature, create a certificate under [Security] on the [Properties] tab, and enable [SSL/TLS Server Communication].
  The data encryption feature may not be available depending on the model of your printer and the options installed. If your printer does not support this feature, [Security] does not appear on the [Properties] tab.

Saving Non-alphanumeric Characters

The printer uses Unicode UTF-8 to save characters. In general, UTF-8 requires 2 to 4 bytes to save a non-alphanumeric character.
Therefore, if you enter non-alphanumeric characters in text boxes, the entire characters may not be saved even if they are displayed in text boxes.
