Embedded Web Server
The Embedded Web Server (EWS) enables you to easily manage, configure, and monitor
network printers using a Web browser on a network computer. EWS gives administrators access
to printer status, configuration, security settings, and diagnostic functions. It also provides access
to special printing functions such as printing saved jobs.
The EWS enables you to:
•
Check supplies status from your computer, 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 computer. The 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 cdn 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:
The 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 may not function properly.
