To open the embedded Web server
You can open the embedded Web server by using these methods:
NOTE: To open the embedded Web server from the printer driver (Windows), or
the HP Printer Utility (Mac OS X), the device must be on a network and must have
an IP address.
• Web browser: In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the IP address
(hostname) that has been assigned to the device.
For example, if you are using an IPv4 network environment and the IP address is
123.123.123.123, type the following address into the Web browser:
http://123.123.123.123
.
For example, if you are using an IPv6-only network environment and the IP
address is FE80::BA:D0FF:FE39:73E7, type the following address into the Web
browser: http://[FE80::BA:D0FF:FE39:73E7].
The IP address and hostname for the device are listed on the network
configuration page. For more information, see
Understand the network
configuration page .
After opening the embedded Web server, you can bookmark it so that you can
return to it quickly in the future.
• Windows taskbar: Right-click the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon, point to the
device you wish to view, and then click Network Settings (EWS).
• Windows Vista: Right-click the printer icon and then select Device Web Page.
• HP Printer Utility (Mac OS X): On the Printer Settings panel, click Additional
Settings, and then click the Open Embedded Web Server button.
Embedded Web server pages
The embedded Web server contains pages that you can use to view product
information and change device settings. The pages also contain links to other e-
services.
Pages/buttons Contents
Home page The Home page provides links to many commonly
used functions.
Information page Shows status information about the device, its ink
supplies and usage, and a log of device events
(such as errors).
The device may display an approximation of the
number of pages that can be printed with the
existing supplies. This is only an approximation and
the actual number of pages you can print may vary
depending upon the images printed, print settings,
paper type, frequency of use, temperature, and
other factors. The approximation might change
dramatically from printed page to printed page and
is provided by HP for customer convenience. The
approximation is not a promise or guarantee of
future yield.
