Utilities
The HP Color LaserJet 4650 series printer is equipped with several utilities, which make it
easy to monitor and manage the printer on a network.
Embedded Web server
This printer is equipped with an embedded Web server, which allows access to information
about printer 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 printer 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 printer.
