1 Overview

	What is an embedded Web server?
	A Web server provides an environment in which Web programs can run, in much the same way
	that an operating system, such as Microsoft® Windows®, provides an environment in which
	programs can run on your computer. A Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Apple
	Safari, Mozilla, or Firefox can show output from a Web server.
	An embedded Web server (EWS) resides on a hardware product (such as a printer) or in the
	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 product that
	anyone who has a network-connected computer and a standard Web browser can open and
	use. No special software needs to be installed or configured.
	With the HP Embedded Web Server, you can view product status information, change settings,
	and manage the product at your computer.

Note	In this guide, the terms “product” and “device” are used interchangeably. When products or
	devices are discussed in this guide, the information pertains to HP LaserJet printers, unless
	otherwise noted. For specific information about the features that your printer supports, see the
	documentation that came with your product.
