Operating the machine Control Panel remotely
Overview
The Control Panel of this machine can be operated remotely from a computer on the network.
The following three methods are available for operating the Control Panel.
Operation procedure | Description |
|---|---|
Using the dedicated software | This method uses the dedicated software that collects screen information of the Control Panel of this machine periodically, and operates the Control Panel from a computer on the network. You must prepare a dedicated remote control software program and server. Despite the burden, this method enables you to control the machine remotely even from a computer located outside the router network. |
Accessing the machine directly | This method accesses this machine directly from another computer on the network, and operates the Control Panel of the machine using a Web browser. A dedicated remote control software program is not required, but the computer used for the remote control must be able to access this machine. |
Using an Android/iOS terminal | This method remotely operates the Control Panel of this machine using an Android/iOS terminal. |
