About cookies
The embedded Web server (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. Some cookies (such as the cookie that
stores customer-specific preferences) are stored on the computer until you clear them manually.
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:
Using some setup wizards
Remembering the EWS browser language setting
Personalizing the EWS Home page
