Introduction
This chapter describes various printer settings that the printer administrator may wish to control as soon as a
new printer is assembled and ready for use.
Automatic rmware update
The printer can automatically check for a rmware update periodically (see Firmware update on page 109).
Without an update, some Web Services may not be available. The Enable Web Services process includes the
option to turn on automatic
rmware updates from the printer's front panel or Embedded Web Server.

messages from the printer. If the mail server requires authentication, email notications will not work.

Printer email address: each email message sent by the printer must include a return address, which
does not need to be a real, functional email address, but it should be unique, so that recipients of the
message can identify the printer that sent it.
