You do not need to install any software on the computer. Use one of these supported Web browsers:

The embedded Web server works when the product is connected to a TCP/IP-based network. The embedded Web server does not support IPX-based connections or direct USB connections.

NOTE: You do not have to have Internet access to open and use the embedded Web server. However, if you click a link on any of the pages, you must have Internet access in order to go to the site associated with the link.

To open the embedded Web server, type the IP address or hostname of the product in the address field of a supported Web browser.

TIP: After you open the URL, bookmark it so that you can return to it quickly in the future.

The embedded Web server has three tabs that contain settings and information about the product: the Information tab, the Settings tab, and the Networking tab.
