EWS serves up webpages that can be viewed in a standard web browser. The EWS resides on a hardware device (such as an HP printer) or in firmware, rather than as software that is loaded on a network server. The advantage of the 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 bar of the browser. About cookies The EWS places very small text files (cookies) on your hard drive when you are browsing. These files let the EWS recognize your computer the next time you visit. For example, if you have configured the EWS language, a cookie helps remember which language you have selected so that the next time you access the EWS, the pages are displayed in that language. Though some cookies are cleared at the end of each session (such as the cookie that stores the selected language), others (such as the cookie that stores customer-specific preferences) are stored on the computer until you clear them manually. IMPORTANT: The cookies that the EWS stores on your computer are used only for saving settings on your computer or for sharing information between the printer and the computer. These cookies are not sent to any HP websites. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, or you can configure it to alert you every time a cookie is offered, which allows you to decide which cookies to accept or refuse. You can also use your browser to remove unwanted cookies. Depending on your printer, if you disable cookies, you also disable one or more of the following features: 20 Chapter 3 Printer management and services ENWW

About the EWS
This product is equipped with the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS), which provides access to information
about product and network activities. EWS serves up webpages that can be viewed in a standard web
browser.
The EWS resides on a hardware device (such as an HP
printer) or in firmware, rather than as software that is
loaded on a network server.
The advantage of the 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 bar of the browser.
About cookies
The EWS places very small text files (cookies) on your hard drive when you are browsing. These files let the
EWS recognize your computer the next time you visit. For example, if you have configured the EWS language,
a cookie helps remember which language you have selected so that the next time you access the EWS, the
pages are displayed in that language. Though some cookies are cleared at the end of each session (such as
the cookie that stores the selected language), others (such as the cookie that stores customer-specific
preferences) are stored on the computer until you clear them manually.
IMPORTANT:
The cookies that the EWS stores on your computer are used only for saving settings on your
computer or for sharing information between the printer and the computer. These cookies are not sent to any
