  2. Open a web browser on any device connected to the same network that the printer is connected to (smartphone, PC, Mac, etc.).
     
  3. In the address bar, enter in the printer's IPv4 address shown on the LAN details page.
     
  4. You may be prompted to enter in a username and password to proceed.  By default, the username is ADMIN.  Click here for more information on the password.

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.  In addition, there will be several options to the left.
