Your printer has an HTML interface that can be accessed from any device that is on the same network that the printer is connected to. This interface is known as the Remote UI. To access the Remote UI, follow the steps below.
-
With the printer turned on, print out the network information page (also known as the LAN details page).
-
Open a web browser on any device connected to the same network that the printer is connected to (smartphone, PC, Mac, etc.).
-
In the address bar, enter in the printer's IPv4 address shown on the LAN details page.
When the Remote UI appears, you will be at the Printer status area. This screen will show you the remaining ink levels in the printer. You will also see buttons for Ink number and Order my ink now. Click Log in.
You will come to the Admin password authentication screen. Enter the password in the box and click OK. By default, the password is the printer's serial number.
If you click and hold the mouse button down on the symbol on the right side of the password box, you will see the characters you have entered in. When entering in your password, you will see dots appear in place of the characters.
Clicking About password and cookies will take you here.
After you have entered in the password and clicked OK, you will come to the Printer Status section of the Remote UI. You will again see the printer's ink levels as well as its signal strength and link quality. You will also have options on the left side of the screen.
