Embedded Web server

The embedded Web server allows you to display status information, change settings, and manage the product from your computer.

The embedded Web server requires a connection to the network, which is provided through the product HP Jetdirect network card. The following requirements must be met before you can use the embedded Web server:

•a TCP/IP-based network.

•a Web browser installed on your computer, preferably either Netscape Navigator 4.7x or Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0x or later.

Note

You can gain access to the embedded Web server from any operating system that supports the

 

TCP/IP protocol and a Web browser. Parallel cable connections and IPX-based network product

 

connections are not supported. You cannot view the embedded Web server pages from outside

 

of a firewall.

 

 

You can reach the product home page through the embedded Web server by entering the product IP address, or through HP Web Jetadmin.

HP Web Jetadmin is not included in the product installation software, but can be downloaded from the HP Web site at www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin.

In the embedded Web server, you can perform the following tasks: ● set up a support contact and support URLs.

● set up a password to control who can remotely gain access to the networking pages.

● view general network status information, including network statistics stored on the print server.
