HP Utility (Mac OS X)
The HP Utility contains tools to configure print settings, calibrate the printer, order supplies online,
and find Web site support information.
NOTE: On a Macintosh computer, the features available in the HP Utility vary depending on
the selected printer.
Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you
receive a low-ink warning message, consider having a replacement cartridge available to
avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace cartridges until prompted to do so.
TIP: When the HP Utility is opened, you can gain access to the Dock menu shortcuts by
selecting and holding the mouse button over the appropriate icon for the HP Utility in the
Dock.
Open HP Utility
To open the HP Utility
Ÿ Click the HP Utility icon in the Dock.
NOTE: If the icon does not appear in the Dock, click the Spotlight icon on the right side
of the menu bar, type
HP Utility in the box, and then click the HP Utility entry.
Embedded Web server
When the printer is connected to a network, you can use the embedded Web server to view status
information, change settings, and manage it from your computer.
NOTE: For a list of system requirements for the embedded Web server, see Embedded
Web server specifications.
To view or change some settings, you might need a password.
You can open and use the embedded Web server without being connected to the Internet.
However, some features are not available.

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. 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.
