Overview

What is an embedded Web server?

A Web server provides an environment in which Web programs can run, in much the same way that an operating system, such as Microsoft® Windows®, provides an environment in which programs can run on your computer . A Web brow ser, such as Micro soft In ternet Exp lorer , Ap ple Safari, Mozilla, or Firefox can show output from a Web server.

An embedded Web server (EWS) resides on a hardware product (such as a pr inter) or in the firmware, rather than as software that is loaded on a network server.

The advantage of an embedded Web server is that it provides an interface to the product that anyone who has a network-connected computer and a standard Web browser can open and use. No special software needs to be installed or configured.

With the HP Embedded Web Server, you can view product status information, change settings, and manage the product at your computer.

Note In this guide, the terms “product” and “device” are used interchangeably. When products or

devices are discussed in this guide, the informatio n pe r tain s to HP La se rJe t pr int er s, un le ss otherwise noted. For specific information about the features that your printer supports, see the documentation that came with your product.

ENWW What is an embedded Web server? 1

Features

You can use the HP Embedded Web Server to view product and network status and to mana ge printing functions from your computer, rather than at the product control panel. With the HP Embedded Web Server, you can perform these tasks:

● View control-panel messages and product-status information.

● Determine the remaining life for all supplies and configure specific ordering information for

supplies.

● Gain access to the product's technical support page.

● Gain access to specific support for recent product events.

● Add or customize links to other Web sites.

● View and change product configuration, such as tray configurations.

● View and change network configuration.

● View and print information pages, such as the Configuration page.

● Receive alerts about product events, such as when the product is low on supplies, through

e-mail.

● Select the language in which to display the HP Embedded Web Server screens.

● Print to an HP product without having to install the product printer driver.

● Conserve energy by scheduling the product sleep delay so that the product will go into sleep

mode after a period of time of not being used.

● Schedule wakeup times for each day so that the product has finished initializing and

calibrating by the time it is to be used.

● Send product configuration and supplies usage information periodically to your service

provider.

Additional features with a permanent storage device

If you have a permanent storage device installed in your product, such as a hard disk, you can view, set up, and retain additional information.

● Alerts. Set up four different destination lists, with up to 20 recipients on each of the four lists.

(Without the permanent storage device, you can send alerts to only four e-mail addresses.)

● Other Links. Add up to five additional links to the Web sites of your choice. (Without the

extra storage, you can add one additional link.)

A hard disk might be installed in your product, depending on the product model. If your product does not have a hard disk, you might be able to order one. For more information, see the user guide that came with your product, or go to:

HP Web Jetadmin and the HP Embedded Web Server

HP Web Jetadmin is a Web-based system management tool that you can use with a Web browser. The HP Embedded Web Server and HP Web Jetadmin work together to meet all of your product-management needs. You can use the software to install and manage networked products effectively. Network administrators can manage networked products remotely, from practically anywhere.

The HP Embedded Web Server provides a simple, easy-to-use solution for one-to-one product management in environments that have a limited number of prod ucts. However, in environments that have several products, you might want to use HP Web Jetadmin to manage groups of products. With HP Web Jetadmin you can discover, manage, and configure multiple products simultaneously.

HP Web Jetadmin is available from HP online support (http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin

2 Overview ENWW

System requirements

In order to use the HP Embedded Web Server, you must have the following components:

● One of the following Web browsers in this list (but not limited to) installed on your computer:

● A supported Web browser. EWS-supported Web browsers include (but are not limited to) the

following:

• Konqueror 3.0 or later

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later

• Mozilla 1.0 (and Mozilla derivatives)

• Firefox 1.0 or later

• Netscape Navigator 6.2 or later

• Opera 7.0 or later

• Safari 1.0 or later

● A transmission control protocol/Internet protocol- (TCP/IP-) based network connection.

● An HP Jetdirect print server (embedded or enhanced input/output [EIO]) installed in the

product.

Opening the HP Embedded Web Server

Use the following procedure to open the HP Embedded Web Server.

Note You cannot view the HP Embedded Web Server screens from outside of a firewall.

1 Open a supported Web browser. 2 In the Address or Go to field, type the Internet protocol (IP) address that is assigned to the

product (for example, http://192.168.1.1) or the host name (for example, npi[XXXXXX] or a configured host name such as http://www.[your_server].com).

If you do not know the IP address for the product, you can find it on the Configuration page. Se e the user guide that came with your product to see how to print a Configuration page at the control panel.

Login and logoff

The HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) has screens that can be used to view product information and change configuration options. The screens that appear, and the settings on them, vary according to how you gain access to the EWS: as a genera l user, an infor mation tech nology (I T) administrator, or a service provider. These passwords can be customized by an IT administra tor or a service provider.

In a password-protected HP Embedded Web Server, only the Information tab is available to users who do not log in by using the password. If no password has been set (which is the default), all of the tabs are visible.

If a password has been set, you must log on as an IT administrator or a service provider to gain access to the protected HP Embedded Web Server tabs (Settings and Networking).

Note For information about changing passwords as an IT admi nistr ator , see “Security” on page 33. If

you are a service provider, see your product service guide.
