You can access the administration and configuration settings from the Tools tab on the Control Panel or from the Properties tab in CentreWare Internet Services (CWIS). The Control Panel consists of a Touch Screen and buttons you press to control the functions available on the printer. CentreWare Internet Services is the administration and configuration software installed on the embedded Web Server in the printer. It allows you to configure and administer the printer from a Web browser. See the Related Content for additional information about System Administrator mode from the Control Panel.
