Embedded web server:
Each Jetdirect print server contains an embedded web server, a tool for configuring and
managing the print server. This acts like a small web site that allows you to configure various
parameters of the print server, such as an IP or IPX address. In addition, a simple network
scanning facility, sometimes called “Web Scan”, is available through the embedded web server if
your print server is attached to a supported MFP (multifunction peripheral) or All-in-One device.
Refer to the section in the
Jetdirect Administrator’s Guide on the embedded web server.
You use your standard web browser for access to the embedded web server’s functions. Open
your browser and enter the print server’s IP address as the URL. (Most browsers will take a
simple IP address; if yours doesn’t, insert
http://
before the IP address.) If you don’t know
your print server’s IP address, print a configuration page —the IP address will be listed in the
TCP/IP section.
The embedded web server’s screens should be reasonably self-explanatory, and a little
exploration will probably show you what you need to know. (For full details, refer to the
Jetdirect
Administrator’s Guide .) All entries show the current values of the print server’s parameters, and
you can change those values by entering new ones (if your network administrator has allowed full
access to them). Note that if you change the print server’s IP address, you will lose the connection
to the print server. You can reconnect by pointing your browser at the new IP address.
Protocols
The following protocols, and protocol-specific configurations and tools, are supported by the print server.
