Overview of printer management tools
Embedded Web server (EWS)
When the printer is connected to a network, you can use the printer’s EWS to view status information, change settings, and manage the printer at your computer.
For a list of system requirements for the EWS, see Printer specifications.
Some settings might be restricted by the requirement for an EWS password.
You can open and use the EWS without being connected to the Internet. However, some features will not be available.

You can open the EWS in the following ways:
To open the EWS from the Toolbox (Windows) or the HP Inkjet Toolbox (Mac OS), the printer must be on a network and must have an IP address.
