1 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 browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox, can show output from a Web server.

An embedded Web server resides on a hardware product (such as a printer) 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 (HP EWS), 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 information pertains to HP LaserJet printers or multifunction peripherals (MFPs), or HP Digital Senders. For specific information about the features that your printer, MFP, or digital sender supports, see the documentation that came with your product.

Features

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

●Upload firmware updates.

●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 up to five additional links 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.

Overview

ENWW	What is an embedded Web server? 1

		● Receive alerts about product events, such as when the product is low on supplies, through e-mail.
	Overview	Set up four different destination lists for each user (administrators and service), with up to 20
		recipients on each of the four lists.
		● Select the language in which to display the HP EWS screens.
		● Print to an HP product without having to install the product print 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.

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 EWS 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 EWS provides a simple, easy-to-use solution for one-to-one product management in environments that have a limited number of products. 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 (HP Web Jetadmin www.hp.com/go/ webjetadmin).

System requirements

In order to use the HP EWS, you must have the following components:

●A supported Web browser. Browsers that support embedded Web servers include (but are not limited to) the following:

●Konqueror 3.5 or later

●Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later

●Mozilla Firefox 1.0 or later

●Opera 9.0 or later

●Safari 1.0 or later

●A transmission control protocol/Internet protocol-based (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 EWS.

2 Chapter 1 Overview

ENWW

					NOTE You cannot view the HP EWS screens from outside of a firewall.	Overview
	1.			Open a supported Web browser.
	2.			In the Address or Go to field, type the IPv4 or IPv6 TCP/IP address, the host name, or the

configured host name that is assigned to the product. See the following examples.

● IPv4 TCP/IP address: http://192.168.1.1

● IPv6 TCP/IP address: http://[2001:0ba0:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1234]

● Host name: npiXXXXXX

If you do not know the TCP/IP address for the product, you can find it by using the control-panel menu or by printing a configuration page. For instructions, see the user guide that came with your product.

ENWW	Opening the HP Embedded Web Server 3

Overview

Login and logoff

The HP 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 HP EWS: as a general user, an information technology (IT) administrator, or a service provider. These passwords can be customized by an IT administrator or a service provider.

In a password-protected HP EWS, 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 EWS tabs (Settings and Networking).

NOTE For information about changing passwords as an IT administrator, see General Security. If you are a service provider, see your product service guide.

To log in as an administrator

Use the following procedure to log in to the HP EWS as an administrator.

1.After you open the EWS, click the Log In link in the upper-right corner of the screen.

The Enter Network Password dialog box appears, as shown in the following illustration. The appearance of the login screen might vary, depending on your operating system and browser.

Figure 1-1 Enter Network Password dialog box

2.Type admin for the user name, type your password, and then click OK.

To log off as an administrator

Use the following procedure to log off.

1.Click the Log Off link.

2.To complete the logoff, close the browser.

ENWW

CAUTION If you do not close the browser, the connection to the product HP EWS continues to run and could pose security risks.

Navigating through the HP Embedded Web Server

To navigate through the HP EWS screens, click one of the tabs (such as Information or Settings), and then click one of the menus on the navigation bar that is located on the left side of the screen.

The following illustration and table provide information about the HP EWS screens.

NOTE The appearance of the HP EWS screens might differ from the illustrations in this user guide, depending on the product features and the settings that your IT administrator has established.
