Using the Embedded Web Server
The Embedded Web Server lets you view and remotely customize printer settings even when you are not physically near the printer. You can also view reports on printer activities, monitor and order printer supplies online, contact customer support, and download updates for your printer.
The Embedded Web Server requires that the printer is connected to your network. For more information on connecting the printer to your network, see the printer User’s Guide.
