    Configure IP ImagePressC1

    I'm a SysAdmin that recently replaced someone that left the company. We have an ImagePressC1 that has an IP already set which I would like to change (moving to a different VLAN/Subnet). I don't have a ton of experience with Canon copiers, but I've used a Fiery before and in my past experience this would be done by:
    Go to http://IP-Address
    Go to Configuration (tab)
    Click 'Launch Configure'
    A Java applet would launch and you would configure it there after putting in the credentials.

    My problem is... I can't get to the Java applet. I see the Java symbol load/spin, then it prompts me for credentials. I put in the default F.....1 password (I've read it's taboo to post this publicly), and the background just turns grey. At first one would think that this means I have the wrong password. I was able to confirm with the person who was here previously that he left it as the default. However, I've also had issues with the Java applet in the past with other Fiery machines.

    So my questions are:
    1. Am I going about changing the IP correctly?
    2. Is there a trick for getting the Java applet to load?
    3. If I am doing the above correctly, perhaps I have the wrong password. Is there a way to reset it? (note: currently no one uses the copier for anything other than... copying. No one prints or scans to/from it)

    Thanks, in advance, for your help.

    never believe they left it as a defaultdo u have a Q1/Q2 imagePress server attached to printer

    u see a Printer Tab on imagePress control panel ?
    open it to log on = Fiery.1
    change settings


    if u can't log in there is a Fiery Password Tool that will show the Password loaded-Print the *.ps file, and then a Page comes up with the password...

    password(1).zip

    or look for it here---with full instructions

      Yes, I have an ImagePress Q1. I meant to say that in the OP but I forgot

      I'll try your instructions and post back.

      Thanks!

        Re: Configure IP ImagePressC1

        I'm downloading the file now, it's pretty large and will take 3 hours to download.

        In the meantime... I looked for a 'printer' tab as mentioned above, but could not find one. I only have the 'Launch Configure'... anything else under Configure only displays current settings, it doesn't allow me to modify.

        I tried intentionally entering an incorrect password and it gave me an error saying it was incorrect. Since I don't get this error when using Fiery.1 then I assume this is correct and that I have a Java issue.

        Can anyone advise in regards to the Java issue? I've tried modifying settings, using XP and 7, using IE6, IE8, IE9, Chrome, and FF to no avail.

        Thanks!

                U usually don't use Fiery.1 in RUI as a log in/under Admin ??

                In service mode go to SERVICE MODE>CLEAR>PWD CLEAR and hit ok. This will remove the admin passwords for the machine. Log into RUI. Once RUI is accessed, the RUI Administrator password can be left blank or set up in Device Manager > Information >RUI Administrator password.

                  This isn't the RUI (assuming you're referring to what's on the first tab, which is Launch Remote UI, which has a similar interface as is on the control panel on the actual printer)... it's the configuration app. Please refer to my previously attached image. I'm pretty certain it's an issue with Java loading.Thanks for the help.

                    simple fix is to go the imagePressC1 control panel way>
                    get over to run setup & put in your new IP Address/

                    have done it hundreds of times on moved/location Canon Printers with a Fiery connected

                      Thank you, that did the trick.I'm still a bit curious about the Java issue, though. But I suppose it doesn't matter now.Thanks for your help.

                        Fieries can be quite persnickety when it comes to Java.

                        It's also possible that there is an issue with the system software on the Fiery, but as long as you can get it to print and work OK, no point in going down that road, as it would take a qualified Canon tech to install. (Plus there is no place you can download it from.)

                        Command Workstation is a great tool for managing your Fiery and the print jobs; I'm sure you'll like it.

                        Funny, the current PC version is something like a 1.2GB download. The original version (circa 1997) was contained on 3 floppies!
