Overview

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 the features that your printer or MFP 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 manage
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.

● 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 Web sites.

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

● View and change network configuration.

● Print to an HP product without installing a printer driver.

● Configure specific ordering information for supplies.

● Schedule copier shutdown and wakeup times.

● Set up copy and send authentication and tracking.

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

provider.

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 example, 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.

● An HP Jetdirect print server enhanced input/output (EIO) network card.

).

2 Overview ENWW

Opening the HP Embedded Web Server

Note You cannot view the HP Embedded Web Server pages from outside 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.

Login and logoff

The HP Embedded Web Server has pages that can be used to view product information and
change configuration options. The pages 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 user.

In a password-protected HP Embedded Web Server, only the Information tab is available to a
user who is not logged in using the password. If no password has been set, or if you log in as an
IT administrator or a service provider, all three tabs (Information, Settings, and Networking) are
visible when you open the HP Embedded Web Server.

If a password has been set, you must log on as an IT administrator or a service user to gain
access to the protected HP Embedded Web Server tabs (Settings and Networking). To log in,
click the Login link. The Enter Network Password dialog box appears, as shown in the following
illustration.

Note The appearance of the login screen may vary, depending on your operating system.

ENWW Opening the HP Embedded Web Server 3

For information about changing passwords as an IT administrator, see “Security” on page 31. If
you are a service provider, see your product service guide.

If you are logged on as an IT administrator, either close the browser or click the Logoff admin
link in the upper right corner of the screen, and then close the browser.

Note To finalize the logoff, you must close the browser.
