Using the embedded Web server Note When the printer is directly connected to a computer, the embedded Web server (EWS) is supported for Microsoft® Windows® 95, 98, NT® 4.0, Millennium Edition (Me), 2000, and XP. When the printer is connected to the network, the embedded Web server is supported for Windows 95, Mac OS 8.6 and later, UNIX®, Linux, and OS/2. Use the embedded Web server to view printer and network status and to manage printing functions from your computer instead of at the printer control panel. The following are examples of what you can do using the embedded Web server: view printer status information view and print internal pages determine the remaining life of HP supplies and order new ones receive notification of printer and HP supplies events (network only) set paper-type view and change tray configurations view and change the printer control panel menu configuration view and change network configuration (network only) To use the embedded Web server, you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.5 or later or Netscape Navigator 4.6 or later. The embedded Web server works when the printer is directly connected to a computer or connected to an IP-based network. The embedded Web server does not support IPX- or AppleTalk-based printer connections. You do not have to have Internet access to open and use the embedded Web server. However, if you click a link in the Other Links area, you must have Internet access in order to go to the site associated with the link. To open the embedded Web server 1 Open the embedded Web server by using one of these methods: • From the HP Color LaserJet 2500 Series Toolbox, click the picture of the printer on the Device tab (Windows 98, NT 4.0, Me, 2000, and XP only). • For networked printers only, type the IP address for the printer. To find the IP address, print a Configuration page at the printer control panel by pressing (Go) and (Cancel Job) simultaneously. When you open the URL, you can bookmark it so that you can return to it quickly in the future. 2 The embedded Web server has three tabs that contain settings and information about the printer: the Information tab, the Settings tab, and, if the printer is connected to a network, the Networking tab. Click the tab that you want to view. 3 See the following sections for more information about each tab. EN 2 Installation and operation 41
