To open the embedded Web server

You can open the embedded Web server by using these methods:

•

•

•

•

NOTE: To open the embedded Web server from the printer driver (Windows), or the HP Printer Utility (Mac OS X), the device must be on a network and must have an IP address.

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

For example, if you are using an IPv4 network environment and the IP address is 123.123.123.123, type the following address into the Web browser:

http://123.123.123.123.

For example, if you are using an IPv6-only network environment and the IP address is FE80::BA:D0FF:FE39:73E7, type the following address into the Web

browser: http://[FE80::BA:D0FF:FE39:73E7].

The IP address and hostname for the device are listed on the network configuration page. For more information, see Understand the network configuration page.

After opening the embedded Web server, you can bookmark it so that you can return to it quickly in the future.

Windows taskbar: Right-click the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon, point to the device you wish to view, and then click Network Settings (EWS).

Windows Vista: Right-click the printer icon and then select Device Web Page.

HP Printer Utility (Mac OS X): On the Printer Settings panel, click Additional Settings, and then click the Open Embedded Web Server button.

Embedded Web server pages

The embedded Web server contains pages that you can use to view product information and change device settings. The pages also contain links to other e- services.

Pages/buttons

Contents

 

 

Home page

The Home page provides links to many commonly

 

used functions.

 

 

Information page

Shows status information about the device, its ink

 

supplies and usage, and a log of device events

 

(such as errors).

 

The device may display an approximation of the

 

number of pages that can be printed with the

 

existing supplies. This is only an approximation and

 

the actual number of pages you can print may vary

 

depending upon the images printed, print settings,

 

paper type, frequency of use, temperature, and

 

other factors. The approximation might change

 

dramatically from printed page to printed page and

 

is provided by HP for customer convenience. The

 

approximation is not a promise or guarantee of

 

future yield.
