The Gerber Solara ion web pages
The Gerber Solara ion has an onboard interface program that can be accessed directly from any
connected computer via an internet browser (such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 6.0 or
higher or Mozilla Firefox® 2.0 or higher). This program can be used to check on the printer's
current status, ink status, view or change system and network settings, view message logs,
assist in diagnostics, and to install new firmware. To access the web pages you will need the
following:
A user computer with an internet browser either directly connected to the machine or
connected to a network which is connected to the machine. (See the section
“Networking the Solara ion” for more information). The computer does not have to be
connected to the internet to access the printer web pages.
The printer’s IP Address which can be viewed in the Setup section of the printer
menu. Enter the IP Address as the web address in the internet browser.
