browser to gain access to printer information provided in the embedded Web server, including:

printer configuration page

supplies status page (available only if you are using genuine HP supplies)

printer event log

printer usage (types of print jobs)

You can also use the embedded Web server to perform the print job management functions that
would usually be done at the printer control panel. These functions include:

Updating embedded Web servers for multiple printers
You can use the embedded Web server plug-in for HP Web Jetadmin to configure embedded
Web server parameters, such as alerts, on multiple printers at a time. The plug-in allows for
batch configuration of all printers with both an embedded Web server and an optional hard disk
installed. To obtain this plug-in, visit
http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin , click plug-ins, and then
click applications.
Gaining access to the embedded Web server
Note To use the embedded Web server, you must have an IP-based network and Web browser.
Type the IP address assigned to the printer into your Web browser to gain access to the
embedded Web server. For example, if the printer IP address is 123.456.789.123, you would
enter http://123.456.789.123 into your Web browser.
If you do not know the IP address for the printer, see the printer configuration page. For more
