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 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:

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 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. 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.

2Chapter 1 OverviewENWW
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 assigned to the product. See the following examples.
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 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 Security
on page 33. 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 displays. 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.
CAUTION: If you do not close the browser, the connection to the product HP EWS continues to run
and could pose security risks.

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 the documents 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 more software to update the product firmware. When updated
firmware files are available for your product, download them from your product support Web site:

Alert Subscriptions
From the Alert Subscriptions 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.)
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, enable outgoing e-mail. To enable outgoing e-mail, see

HP Web Jetadmin is a powerful Web-based software tool 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 HP Web Jetadmin secure itself against unwanted users, it can
also secure the devices it manages against unwanted access. Securing devices is important for the
following reasons:
Device Security Settings on page 35.
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.
HP Jetdirect firmware enhancements and revisions address product performance and security issues.
Make sure the firmware on the printer is the latest revision level to ensure maximum security. HP Web
Jetadmin provides the ability to upgrade HP Jetdirect firmware either individually or in batches.

The EWS supports two administrative roles identified as “service” and “admin”. These administrative
roles are designed to meet the needs of service providers who lease devices to customers. The service
user (representing the service provider) must be capable of setting up metered billing services, etc. The
admin user (representing the customer) must be allowed to configure the device on their local intranet,
perform remote management etc.
When the device is shipped, the admin password is not set, which means that the system is unprotected.
In this case, any EWS user will automatically have all admin privileges until a password is set. After that,
only the admin and the service users will have access to the Device Security Settings page. The admin
password can be reset (set to blank value) to unprotect the system again, in the same way as the default
configuration.
