Embedded Web server
This MFP is equipped with an embedded Web server, which allows access to information about MFP
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 or Netscape Navigator.
When a Web server is "embedded", that means it 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 MFP that anyone can
access with a network-connected computer or a standard Web browser. There is no special software
to install or configure. For more information about the HP embedded Web server, see the Embedded
Web Server User Guide. You can find this guide on the CD-ROM included with the MFP.
