HP 2830 - Manual (Page 203)

Embedded Web server
This device is equipped with an embedded Web server, which allows access to information
about device and network activities. A Web server provides an environment in which web
programs may run, much in the same way that an operating system, such as Windows,
provides an environment for programs to run on your computer. The output from these
programs can then be displayed by a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer,
Safari, or Netscape Navigator.
An “embedded” Web server resides on a hardware device (such as a printer) or in firmware,
rather than as software that is loaded on a network server.
The advantage of an embedded Web server is that it provides an interface to the device that
anyone with a network-connected computer and a standard Web browser can access. There
is no special software to install or configure, but you must have a supported Web browser on
your computer. To access the embedded Web server, type the IP address for the device in
the address line of the browser. (To find the IP address, print a Configuration page. For more
information about printing a Configuration page, see
Configuration page .)
Note For Macintosh operating systems, you can use the EWS over a USB connection.
