Embedded Web server (EWS)
The printer has an internal Web page, called the embedded Web server (EWS) that you can open with an Internet browser. The EWS provides a simple way to manage the printer on a network.
Use the printer's EWS to do the following:
●Check the printer's status.
●Adjust the printer's network configuration.
●Check estimated ink levels in the print cartridges.
●View network statistics.
●Configure the printer's wireless security settings.
●Configure Bluetooth settings.
●Visit HP's Web site for support information and to purchase supplies.
Caution It is recommended that the printer and the computers that use it be on the same subnet. Printer installation across subnets can be problematic depending on the type of router used.
Before using the printer's internal Web page, verify that the printer and the computer are powered on and connected to the network.
