HP Web Access The HP Web Access feature, also known as the embedded Web server (EWS), contains the following components: • embedded virtual machine for Java (TM) applications • Web pages • storage space HP Web Access is a standard feature for the HP LaserJet 4200 and HP LaserJet 4300 series printers. HP Web Access provides a simple, easy-to-use solution for one-to-one printer management. In offices with a limited number of printers, remote management of printing devices can be accomplished without installing any management software, such as HP Web JetAdmin. The only requirement is that the management console have a supported Web browser. In environments with a larger number of printers, where one-to-one management is impractical, HP Web Access and HP Web JetAdmin work together to provide scalable remote printer management. HP Web JetAdmin is used for consolidated management tasks, where operations are performed on a selected set of printers instead of on individual printers. For such environments, HP has provided hooks between HP Web Access and HP Web JetAdmin so that Web Access features can be configured on multiple printers in one operation. For example, the security password for HP Web Access can be set on a population of printers simultaneously. For additional information and a copy of the HP Embedded Web Server for HP LaserJet Printers guide, go to one of the following Web sites: http://www.hp.com/support/lj4200 http://www.hp.com/support/lj4300 To view information about the printer by using HP Web Access, open a supported Web browser and type in the printer TCP/IP address or host name.
