Embedded Web server This product is equipped with an embedded Web server (EWS), which provides access to information about product and network activities. A Web server provides an environment in which web programs may run, much in the same way that an operating system, such as Windows, provides an environment for programs to run on a computer. The output from these programs can then be displayed by a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, or Netscape Navigator. An "embedded" Web server resides on a hardware device (such as an HP LaserJet product) or in firmware, rather than as software that is loaded on a network server. The advantage of an EWS is that it provides an interface to the product that anyone with a networkconnected product and computer can use. There is no special software to install or configure, but you must have a supported Web browser on the computer. To gain access to the EWS, type the IP address for the product in the address line of the browser. (To find the IP address, print a configuration page. For more information about printing a configuration page, see Information pages on page 140.) NOTE: For Macintosh operating systems, you can use the EWS over a USB connection after installing the Macintosh software included with the product. Features The EWS allows you to view product and network status and manage printing functions from a computer. With the EWS, you can complete the following tasks: ● View product status information ● Determine the remaining life on all supplies and order new ones ● View and change part of the product configuration ● View and print some internal pages ● Select the language in which to display the EWS pages ● View and change network configuration ● Set, change, or clear the product security password (see Turn on password protection on page 99). NOTE: Changing network settings in the EWS might disable some of product software or features. ENWW Embedded Web server 151

Embedded Web server
This product is equipped with an embedded Web server (EWS), which provides access to information
about product and network activities. A Web server provides an environment in which web programs
may run, much in the same way that an operating system, such as Windows, provides an environment
for programs to run on a computer. The output from these programs can then be displayed by a Web
browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, or Netscape Navigator.
An “embedded” Web server resides on a hardware device (such as an HP LaserJet product) or in
firmware, rather than as software that is loaded on a network server.
The advantage of an EWS is that it provides an interface to the product that anyone with a network-
connected product and computer can use. There is no special software to install or configure, but you
must have a supported Web browser on the computer. To gain access to the EWS, type the IP address
for the product in the address line of the browser. (To find the IP address, print a configuration page.
For more information about printing a configuration page, see
Information pages
on page
140
.)
NOTE:
For Macintosh operating systems, you can use the EWS over a USB connection after installing
the Macintosh software included with the product.
Features
The EWS allows you to view product and network status and manage printing functions from a computer.
With the EWS, you can complete the following tasks:
View product status information
Determine the remaining life on all supplies and order new ones
View and change part of the product configuration
View and print some internal pages
Select the language in which to display the EWS pages
View and change network configuration
Set, change, or clear the product security password (see
Turn on password protection
on page
99
).
NOTE:
Changing network settings in the EWS might disable some of product software or features.
