## Alternative: Retrieve Meter Readings via Web Interface

If you cannot access the copier physically, you can obtain the meter readings using Ricoh’s Web Image Monitor:
 Open a web browser and enter the copier's IP address.
 Log in as an administrator (default credentials may be admin with a blank password).
 Navigate to the Counter or Device Management section to view or download the meter readings.
