Embedded Web server

This product is equipped with an embedded Web server (EWS), which provides access to information about product and network activities. A Web server provides an environment in which web programs may run, much in the same way that an operating system, such as Windows, provides an environment for programs to run on a computer. The output from these programs can then be displayed by a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, or Netscape Navigator.

An “embedded” Web server resides on a hardware device (such as an HP LaserJet product) or in firmware, rather than as software that is loaded on a network server.

The advantage of an EWS is that it provides an interface to the product that anyone with a network- connected product and computer can use. There is no special software to install or configure, but you must have a supported Web browser on the computer. To gain access to the EWS, type the IP address for the product in the address line of the browser. (To find the IP address, print a configuration page. For more information about printing a configuration page, see Information pages on page 168.)

NOTE: For Macintosh operating systems, you can use the EWS over a USB connection after installing the Macintosh software included with the product.

Features

The EWS allows you to view product and network status and manage printing functions from a computer. With the EWS, you can complete the following tasks:

View product status information

Determine the remaining life on all supplies and order new ones

View and change part of the product configuration

View and print some internal pages

Select the language in which to display the EWS pages and control panel messages

Set, change, or clear the product security password (see Turn on password protection from the control panel on page 181).

Enable/disable the photo card slot on the product from the print tab

Set fax receive and phone book settings.

Set default copy and print settings.

NOTE: Changing network settings in the EWS might disable some of product software or features.
