Using the embedded Web server

When the printer is directly connected to a computer, use the HP ToolboxFX to view Web pages for
the printer status.

When the printer is connected to the network, the embedded Web server is automatically available.
You may access the embedded Web server from any supported browser.

The embedded Web server allows you to view printer and network status and to manage printing
functions from your computer instead of using the printer control panel. Below are examples of what
you can do using the embedded Web server:

View printer status information.

Set the type of paper loaded in each tray.

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

View and change tray configurations.

View and change the printer.

View and print internal information pages.

View and change network configuration.

The embedded Web server supports the following browsers:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and later

Netscape 7.0 or later

Opera 7.0 or later

Firefox 1.0 or later

Mozilla 1.6 or later

Safari 1.2 or later

The embedded Web server works when the printer is connected to an IP-based network. The
embedded Web server does not support IPX-based or AppleTalk printer connections. You do not
need Internet access to open and use the embedded Web server.

To access the embedded Web server using a network connection

In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the IP address for the printer in the address/
URL field. (To find the IP address, print a configuration page. For more information about printing a
configuration page, see

Configuration page

.)

NOTE

If you are unable to access the embedded Web server using the IP address, you can

use the host name.
