1Overview
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 to a network server.
The advantage of an embedded Web server is that it provides an interface to the product that anyone
with a network-connected computer and a standard Web browser can open and use. No special software
must be installed or configured.
With the HP Embedded Web Server (HP EWS), you can view product status information, change
settings, and manage the product from 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:
●

HP Web Jetadmin and the HP Embedded Web Server
HP Web Jetadminis 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 effectively install and manage networked products. 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. To manage environments that have several
products, use HP Web Jetadmin instead. 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
webjetadmin).
System requirements
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.
NOTE: You cannot view the HP EWS screens from outside a firewall.
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, 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.
Login and logoff
The HP EWS screens are used to view product information and change configuration options. The
screens and settings vary according to how you access 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) and to clear the Color Usage Job Log.
NOTE: For information about changing passwords as an IT administrator, see Security
on page 37. 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 HP EWS, click the Log In link in the upper-right corner of the screen.
The Enter Network Password dialog box appears. The appearance of the login screen might vary,
depending on your operating system and browser.
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.

Use the Print screen for print-ready files or to remotely update the product firmware.
Use the Print screen to print one file at a time from a product that supports the HP EWS. This feature
is especially useful for a mobile user, because you do not have to install the product's print driver to
print; you can print from anywhere at any time.
You can print all print-ready files, such as documents that have been generated by using a "print to file"
driver option. Print-ready files commonly have file name extensions such as PS (postscript), PDF (Adobe
Portable Document Format), and PRN (Windows print-ready File).
You can also use the Print screen to update your product firmware. This feature is especially useful
because you do not have to install additional software to update the product firmware. When updated
firmware files are available for your product, simply download them your product support Web site:

You must configure outgoing e-mail if you intend to use the Alerts or AutoSend features.
1.Find the TCP/IP address or fully-qualified domain name of the simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP)
mail server on your network. The EWS uses the SMTP server TCP/IP address to relay e-mail
messages to other computers. The e-mail server address field also supports IPV6 addresses
(SMTP6).
NOTE: Your organization's network or e-mail administrator typically provides this information.
2.Select the Enable Outgoing E-mail check box.

Alerts
From the Alerts screen, IT administrators can set up the product to send problem and status alerts to
anyone through e-mail messages. When this function is configured, alerts are automatically triggered
about supplies, paper-path status, and other service and advisory information. More than one individual
can receive alerts, with each person receiving only specific alerts. For example, an administrative
assistant might be responsible for ordering print cartridges or fixing jams and could receive advanced
warning when toner is low or a jam occurs. Similarly, the long-life supplies might be handled by an
external service provider who could receive alerts about performing product maintenance, loading the
front or rear stapler, and similar needs.
NOTE: With a permanent storage device installed, such as a hard disk, a user can create up to four
different destination lists, with up to 20 recipients on each list. (Without the permanent storage device,
a user can send alerts to only four e-mail addresses.)
By selecting the Select Control Panel Messages to Suppress option (available on the Alerts -
setup screen that appears when you press the New Destination List button), you can suppress the
Order Cartridge or Replace Cartridge supplies status messages on the control panel. The control
panel message is suppressed only when you select one or both of these alerts.
The following illustration, table, and procedures describe how to use this screen to edit, test, and delete
destinations and destination lists.
NOTE: In order for e-mail alerts to function, outgoing e-mail must be enabled. To enable outgoing e-
mail, see

alerts that are available for the product, click Show All Alerts.)
5.Where applicable, set the threshold value for the individual alerts.
The threshold value for service alerts and for the paper-path alerts is a user-specified number of
minutes. This is the amount of time that an event will be ignored before an e-mail alert message
is sent. For example, you might want to set the threshold value for the Tray Open alert to 10 minutes
to allow someone to close the tray after loading the tray or clearing a jam.
6.Under Select Control Panel Messages to Suppress, select messages that you do not want to
appear on the product control panel. This step applies only to messages that were selected to be
received as alerts.
NOTE: If the browser does not accept JavaScript, the check box for message suppression is
always enabled. The check-box selection is validated by pressing the Apply button to submit the
page. If corresponding suppression alerts have not been selected, the Alerts - setup screen is
reloaded with a warning message. The message warns that you must first select the corresponding
alerts to suppress their appearance on the control panel.
7.Select the attachments to include with your e-mail alert messages. These attachments may include
the following pages. (Go to the Information tab to see examples of these pages.)
Supplies Status Page
●
Usage Page
●
Configuration Page
●
Event Log Page

Select XML Data if one of the destinations you have chosen to receive alerts is an automated
computer system. Each item that you select will be attached to the e-mail. For example, if you
select Usage Page and Event Log Page, you will receive one e-mail message with two
attachments, one for each selection. If you also select the XML Data option, you will receive one
e-mail message with three attachments: one attachment for the Usage Page in HTML, one for the
Event Log Page in HTML, and a third consisting of instant support information in a text file
attachment that has an XML extension.

HP Web Jetadmin is a powerful web-based software utility for installing, configuring, and managing
network-connected devices. Since it can install and configure devices, it must be able to secure itself
against unwanted access. Not only can it secure itself against unwanted users, it can also secure the
devices it manages against unwanted access. Securing devices is important for the following reasons:
Reduce printer down time
●
Reduce help desk calls
●
Minimize troubleshooting visits
●
Minimize consumable usage
●
NOTE: If you use HP Web Jetadmin to configure your printer, HP recommends that you configure
HP Jetdirect security settings with HP Web Jetadmin.
As HP Jetdirect firmware is enhanced or revised, performance and security issues are addressed.
Always keep the firmware on the printer at the latest revision level to ensure maximum security. HP Web
