What is an embedded Web server?
A Web server provides an environment in which Web programs can run, much in 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 or
Netscape Navigator, can show output from a Web server.
An “embedded” Web server (EWS) resides on a hardware device (such as a printer) 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 sometimes used interchangeably. When
products or devices are discussed in this guide, the information pertains to HP LaserJet printers,
HP color LaserJet printers, and HP LaserJet MFPs unless otherwise noted. For specific
information about what features your printer or MFP supports, see the documentation that came
with your product.
Features
You can use the HP Embedded Web Server to view product and network status and to manage
printing functions from your computer, rather than at the product control panel. With the
HP Embedded Web Server, you can do these tasks:
● View control-panel messages and product-status information.
● Determine the remaining life for all supplies.
● Use the Order Supplies link to connect to a Web page that facilitates online ordering of
supplies from a reseller of your choice.
● Gain access to the product's technical support page.
● Gain access to specific support for recent product events.
● View and change tray configurations.
● View and change product 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.
● Add or customize links to other websites.
● Select the language in which to display the embedded Web server pages.
● View and change network configuration.
ENWW What is an embedded Web server? 1
Additional features with a permanent storage device
If you have a permanent storage device installed in your product, such as a hard disk or flash
disk, you can view, set up, and retain additional information.
● Alerts. Set up fo ur d ifferent destination li sts , wit h up t o 20 reci pie nts on ea ch of th e f o ur li sts .
(Without the permanent storage device, you can send alerts to only two e-mail addresses.)
● Other Links. Add up to five additional links to the websites of your choice. (Without the extra
storage, you can add one additional link.)
A hard disk might have come with your product, depending on your product model. If your
product does not have a hard disk, you can order one. For more information, see the user guide
that came with your product, or go to: http://www.hp.com/go/buy_hp

HP Web Jetadmin and the HP Embedded Web Server
HP’s Web Jetadmin is a Web-based system management tool that you can use with a Web
browser.
The HP Embedded Web Server and Web Jetadmin work together to meet all of your product
management needs. You can install and manage networked devices effectively. Network
administrators can manage networked devices 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 products. However, environments
that have several products might want to use HP Web Jetadmin for group product management.
With HP Web Jetadmin you can discover, manage, and configure multiple devices
simultaneously.
HP Web Jetadmin is available from HP online support (http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin
System requirements
● A Web browser installed on your computer. The HP Embedded Web Server is designed to
work best with later versions of most Web browsers. For ex ample, Netscape Navigator 6.2
or later, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 and later for Macintosh computers or Internet
Explorer 6.0 or later for Windows work well with this Web server.
● A transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP)-based network connection.
Opening the HP Embedded Web Server
Note You cannot view the embedded Web server pages from outside of a firewall.
1 Open a Web browser.
2 In the Address or Go to field, type the IP address that is assigned to the product (for
example, http://192.168.1.1) or the host name (for example; http://www.[your_server].com).
If you do not know the IP address for the product, it is listed on the Configuration page. See the
user guide that came with your product to see how to print a Configuration page at the control
panel.
