Using the embedded Web server Note A Web server provides an environment in which Web programs can run. The output from these programs can then be displayed by a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. The embedded Web server allows you to display status information, change settings, and manage the product from your computer. The embedded Web server is an integral component of the product hardware and does not need to be installed separately. It functions by establishing an Internet connection to the MFP's home page when you enter the MFP's IP address using a standard browser.

The embedded Web server is an integral component of the product hardware and does
not need to be installed separately. It functions by establishing an Internet connection to
the MFP’s home page when you enter the MFP’s IP address using a standard browser.
