Using the embedded Web server

The embedded Web server is available for HP LaserJet 1300 series printers with LIO network connections. The embedded Web server provides the same functions as the Advanced Printer Settings section of the HP toolbox. The main differences between using the embedded Web server and using the HP toolbox are the following:

You do not need to install any software on the computer. You only need to have a supported Web browser. To use the embedded Web server, you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later or Netscape Navigator 4.75 or later.

The embedded Web server is available in English only.

The embedded Web server does not provide e-mail or status alerts.

The embedded Web server is supported by more operating systems than the HP toolbox, including Windows 95, Windows NT, Linux, and UNIX® .

The embedded Web server allows you to view printer and network status and to manage printing functions from your computer instead of from the printer control panel. Below are examples of what you can do using the embedded Web server:

view printer status information

view and print internal pages

determine the remaining life on all supplies and order new ones

set the type of paper loaded in each tray

view and change tray configurations

view and change the printer default configuration settings

view and change network configuration

The embedded Web server works when the printer is connected to an IP-based network. The embedded Web server does not support IPX- or AppleTalk-based printer connections.

Note

You do not have to have Internet access to open and use the embedded Web server. However, if

 

you click a link in the Other Links area, you must have Internet access in order to go to the site

 

associated with the link.
