Embedded web server
When the printer is connected to a network, you can use the printer's home page (embedded web
server or EWS) 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 on page 168.
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.
NOTE: The cookies that the EWS stores on your computer are only used for saving settings on your
computer or for sharing information between the printer and the computer. These cookies are not
sent to any HP websites.
You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, or you can configure it to alert you every time
a cookie is offered, which allows you to decide which cookies to accept or refuse. You can also use
your browser to remove unwanted cookies.
NOTE: Depending on your printer, if you disable cookies, you also disable one or more of the
following features:
● Starting where you left the application (especially useful when using setup wizards)
● Remembering the EWS browser language setting
● Personalizing the EWS Home page
For information about how to change your privacy and cookie settings and how to view or delete
cookies, see the documentation available with your web browser.
To open the embedded web server
