5.Embedded Web server

When the printer is connected to a network, you can use the printer’s home page (called an “embedded Web server” or “EWS”)

to view status information and configure network settings from your computer web browser. No special software needs to be installed or configured on your computer.

Note: You can open and use the EWS without being connected to the Internet, though some features will not be available.

To open the EWS

1.Obtain the IP address for the printer:

a.On the printer’s control panel,

press the (Setup) button.

b.Press the or buttons to select Print Report, and then press OK.

c.Select Network Config., and then press OK.

The IP address is shown on the Network Configuration Page.

2.In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the IP address or hostname that has been assigned to the device.

For example, if the IP address is 123.123.123.123, type the following address into the Web browser:

http://123.123.123.123

Tip: You can also open the EWS from the HP software installed on your computer. For more information about these tools, see the user guide (which is available on your computer after you install the software).
