you want a totally unique user interface, you can use the Java applet as a
sample program that illustrates how this can be done. The applet can be used as

as configuring various aspects of the device using the RCI, applet packaging,
and Swing user interface. You can write custom management applications in
other languages that run on a separate system in the network and talk to the
device using RCI. For example, a printer manufacturer might have a
