Change a number of settings in the Settings Editor via the control panel

Introduction

NOTE

The information contained in this section is primarily intended for key operators and system administrators.

The Settings Editor application on the PRISMAsync controller is a web based application that allows key operators and system administrators to adapt the system to the situation in an organization and production environment. The Settings Editor allows key operators and system administrators to manage settings regarding to network configuration, system preferences, job preferences and media, for example.

For more information see the administration guide PRISMAsync Print Server available at the download site.

For convenience reasons, a subset of frequently used settings is accessible through the control panel.

  • Via a button on the start up screen.

    You can access the subset of settings without initialization of the printer or without making a connection to the network.

  • Via the [Setup] section in the [System] view.
