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, or Mozilla, can show output from a Web server.

An embedded Web server resides on a hardware product (such as a printer) 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 (HP EWS), 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 or multifunction peripherals (MFPs), or HP Digital Senders. For specific information about the features that your printer, MFP, or digital sender supports, see the documentation that came with your product.

Features

You can use the HP EWS to view product and network status and to manage printing functions from your computer, rather than at the product control panel. With the HP EWS, you can perform these tasks:

Determine the remaining life for all supplies and configure specific ordering information for supplies.

Gain access to the product's technical support page.

Gain access to specific support for recent product events.
