Using the embedded Web server
Use the embedded Web server to view MFP and network status and to manage printing functions from
your computer instead of from the MFP control panel. The following are examples of what you can do
using the embedded Web server:
NOTE When the printer is directly connected to a computer, use the HP Easy Printer Care
Software to view the printer status.
● View MFP status information.
● Set the type of media that is loaded in each tray.
● Determine the remaining life for all supplies and order new ones.
● View and change tray configurations.
● View and change the MFP control-panel menu configuration.
● View and print internal pages.
● Receive notification of MFP and supplies events.
● View and change network configuration.
To use the embedded Web server, you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or later or Netscape
6.2 or later for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux (Netscape only). Netscape Navigator 4.7 is required for
HP-UX 10 and HP-UX 11. The embedded Web server works when the MFP is connected to an IP-based
network. The embedded Web server does not support IPX-based MFP connections. You do not have
to have Internet access to open and use the embedded Web server.
When the MFP is connected to the network, the embedded Web server is automatically available.
NOTE For complete information about using the embedded Web server, see the Embedded
Web Server User Guide, which is on the HP Color LaserJet 4730mfp series software CD-ROM.
Opening the embedded Web server
1. In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the IP address for the MFP. To find the IP
address, print a configuration page. For more information about printing a configuration page, see
Configuration page .
NOTE After you open the URL, you can bookmark it so that you can return to it quickly in
the future.
2. The embedded Web server has four tabs that contain settings and information about the MFP: the
Information tab, the Settings tab, the Digital Sending tab, and the Networking tab. Click the tab
that you want to view.
3. See the following sections for more information about each tab.
