Use the HP Embedded Web Server

Use the HP Embedded Web Server to view product status, configure product network settings, and to

manage printing functions from your computer instead of from the product control panel. The following

are examples of what you can do using the HP Embedded Web Server:

NOTE:

When the product is directly connected to a computer, use the HP Easy Printer Care software

to view the product status instead of the HP Embedded Web Server.

View product status information.

Determine the remaining life for all supplies and order new ones.

View and change tray configurations.

View and change the product control-panel menu configuration.

View and print internal pages.

Receive notification of product and supplies events.

View and change network configuration.

To use the HP Embedded Web Server, you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or later or

Netscape 6.2 or later for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux (Netscape only). Netscape Navigator 4.7 is

required for HP-UX 10 and HP-UX 11. The HP Embedded Web Server works when the product is

connected to an IP-based network. The HP Embedded Web Server does not support IPX-based product

connections. You do not have to have Internet access to open and use the HP Embedded Web Server.

When the product is connected to the network, the HP Embedded Web Server is automatically

available.
