Foreword
Welcome
PageScope is utility software that provides central control over
printers, copiers, and other devices on a network. With PageScope, you
can use a Web browser to check the current status of each device on the
network, and to change the configuration of the network and printer.
PageScope uses SNMP protocol, which is the standard for network
management. This means it can be used for management of a wide
range of devices, including printers and copiers, as well as other makes
of network printers and other devices that support standard PrinterMIB. PageScope is implemented based on Java 2 technologies,
enabling functions and operations that are equivalent to those found on
a most platforms that support Java.

2 Installing and Starting Up the Server
2 Installing and Starting Up the Server
2.1 Installing the Server
Windows 95/98/Me/2000/NT 4.0 Platform
1.
2.
Open the PageScope self-extracting archive. This automatically
starts the installer.
Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to complete the
installation.
Solaris Platform
Note
• PageScope server starts up as a daemon process, so we recommend that
you install the package in the root partition.
• Perform the following operation under root privileges.
1.
2.
Extract the PageScope tar archive, which was compressed with
gzip, into the directory you want. This creates a directory named
PageScope.
Execute the install.sh script, which is located in the PageScope
directory.
Linux Platform
Note
• PageScope server starts up as a daemon process, so we recommend that
you install the package in the root partition.
• Perform the following operation under root privileges.
1.
2.
Extract the PageScope tar archive, which was compressed with
gzip, into the directory you want. This creates a directory named
PageScope.
Execute the install.sh script, which is located in the PageScope
directory. In the case of SuSE Linux, execute the install.suse.sh
script, which is located in the PageScope directory.

2 Installing and Starting Up the Server
2.2 Upgrading PageScope
For Windows Platform and Solaris Platform
• Upgrading from PageScope 2.1 and subsequent versions under
Windows 95/98/Me/2000/NT 4.0 or Solaris performs an overwrite
install, leaving device status data and logs intact.
• When upgrading from PageScope 2.0 or lower versions, you must
uninstall your old version of PageScope and delete the PageScope
folder, and then install the new version. In this case, the existing
PageScope server database cannot be used as the new installation.
For a new installation under Windows 95/98/Me/2000/NT 4.0, the
PageScope folder is created inside the Program Files folder by
default. In the case of Solaris, the PageScope folder is created in the
location where the PageScope tar archive is extracted.
For Linux Platform
• When upgrading from PageScope 3.0 and subsequent versions under
Linux, upgrading is performed by overwriting the older version with
the new one, leaving device status data and logs intact.
• PageScope 2.1 and previous versions are not compatible with
PageScope 3.0 and subsequent versions due to differences in glibc
versions.
Important!
• Make sure the PageScope server is shut down (not running) before you
try to upgrade it. See 2.4 Shutting Down the Server for more
information.
Windows 95/98/Me/2000/NT 4.0 Platform

Start up your Web browser and access the URL shown below.
http://server_name:9090/
In place of server_name in the above URL, type in the name or IP
address of the host that is running the PageScope server.
Example: When the IP address of the PageScope server is 192.9.200.200

This accesses the PageScope server and displays the PageScope login
screen.
10
3 Using PageScope Client
3.2 Logging Into PageScope
1.
In the Login section, select the appropriate login privileges.
• Administrator
While logged in as Administrator, you can
manage and change the configuration of
network devices and the PageScope server.
You must be able to input the proper
administrator password to log in as
Administrator. The initial default
administrator password is admin.
• Registered User You can manage and change the configuration
of network devices, but you cannot change
PageScope server settings while logged in as
Registered User. Each registered user has a
pre-defined name and password, which the
user must input in order to log in.
• Guest
2.
Guest can view the status and settings of each
device. Input of a password is not required
when logging in as Guest.
In the View Style section, select the style you want to use for the
PageScope screen. Select either Java mode or HTML mode. If you
select the Java mode, you can also select an appearance option
from among the following.
• Java-Metal
• Java-Motif
• Java-System
Note
• The HTML version is recommended for faster performance on low-end
servers.
11
3 Using PageScope Client
Note
Logging in while in the Java mode on a client where the Java plug-in is not
installed displays a message asking if you want to install the Java Plug-in.
What happens after you agree depends on the browser you are using, as
described below.
• Internet Explorer:
The Java plug-in is downloaded automatically
from the Internet.
• Netscape Navigator: Your browser automatically accesses an Internet
site where the Java plug-in is available for
download. You must perform the required
operation to and download it manually.

You can use the following procedure to search for a specific device on
the network.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Log into PageScope as Administrator. See 3.2 Logging Into
PageScope.
Click the Settings tab on the left side of the window.
In the tree of setting items that appears, select Discovery Setting.
Double-click if you are using the Java mode, single-click when
using the HTML mode. This causes the Discovery Setting screen
to appear on the right side of the window.
If you are using the Java mode and the icon you want does not
appear on the screen, double-click the Administrator → List
Manager → Discovery Setting icons to open up the tree.
The Discovery Network/Range list shows the local network
associated with the PageScope server. Whenever PageScope starts
up, it automatically adds the local network associated with the
server to the search range list. If network discovery fails for some
reason or if you want to add other networks, click the Add button.
13
3 Using PageScope Client
Note
• The local network may not be discovered when PageScope is started up
while an SNMP agent is operating on the server where PageScope is
installed. If this happens, disable the SNMP agent or add the local
network manually to the search range.
5.
6.
7.
14
If you input a network address and subnet mask, PageScope
automatically calculates and displays the appropriate search IP
address range. After everything is the way you want, click the
Apply button.
To remove a network from the Discovery Network/Range list,
select it in the list and then click the Remove button. In response
to the confirmation dialog box that appears, click OK.
If you also want the search to find non-Minolta RFC-1759
Printer-MIB compatible devices, put a checkmark inside the box
next to the Enable Generic Printer Support option in the
Generic Printer Support section. Then click the Apply button.

This displays list of custom groups.
Select the group you want from the list. Double-click if you are
using the Java mode, single-click when using the HTML mode.
This causes a list of devices that belong to the selected group to
appear on the right side of the window.
In the device list, select that device that you want to use as the
basis for the Multi-Setting operation, and then click the Leader
option button next to the device to make it the “leader device.” The
leader device is the one whose leader button is black. If you are
using the HTML mode, you should click the Leader option button
next to the device and then click the Select button above the
Leader column.
4 Device Management
5.
6.
At this time, a check mark is automatically placed inside the
Group check boxes next to all devices with settings that can be
changed in parallel with the leader device. If you do not want
Multi-Setting to change the configuration of a device whose
Group check box is checked, click the check box to remove the
check mark. To change a leader device in the HTML mode, you
can click the Printer List button to return to the leader device
selection screen.
Click the Multi-Setting button to display the configuration screen
of the leader device. Now, any changes you make to the
configuration of the leader device applies the same changes to the
configurations of the devices whose Group check boxes were
checked in the previous step. At this time, you cannot change any
settings that must be made on a device-by-device basis (such as the
network address). To change the configuration of a single device
without using Multi-Setting, select the device in the list without
clicking the Multi-Setting button.
