Embedded Web Server
The Embedded Web Server (EWS) provides a simple interface to the embedded web server in
any networked Dell printer that enables you to manage, configure, and monitor networked
printers from your desktop. EWS gives administrators easy access to printer status,
configuration, and diagnostic functions. It also provides users with access to printer status and
special printing functions such as printing saved jobs. With the EWS software, you can access
and manage your printers over a TCP/IP network using a web browser.
The Embedded Web Server enables you to:
■ Check supplies status from your desktop, saving a trip to the printer. Access job
accounting records to allocate printing costs and plan supplies purchases.
■ Define a network printer search and view a list of printers using Printer Neighborhood.
The list provides current status information and allows you to manage printers
independent of network servers and operating systems.
■ Configure printers from your desktop. EWS makes it easy to copy settings from one
printer to another.
■ Set up and use a simple web-browser-based printing system. Marketing collateral, sales
materials, business forms, or other standardized, frequently used documents can be saved
as a group with their original driver settings then reprinted on demand at high speed from
any user's browser. A printer with a hard drive is required to support these functions. In
some printer models, a DX configuration is required to support these functions.
■ Troubleshoot print-quality problems using built-in diagnostics.
■ Define a link to your local web server’s support page.
■ Access online manuals and technical support information located on the Dell website.
Note: EWS requires a web browser and a TCP/IP connection between the printer and the
network (in Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX environments). TCP/IP and HTTP must be
enabled in the printer. JavaScript is required to access the pages in Printer Neighborhood. If
JavaScript is disabled, a warning message appears and the pages do not function properly.
