Embedded Web server (EWS) (network connection)
The all-in-one includes an embedded Web server when the all-in-one is connected to a
network with a recommended HP Jetdirect internal print server (see
HP Jetdirect print server
capabilities for information about HP Jetdirect print servers). The embedded Web server
provides an interface to the all-in-one that anyone who has a network-connected computer
and a standard Web browser can open and use.
Use the embedded Web server to view status information, change settings, and manage the
all-in-one at your computer.
Note Some settings might be restricted by the requirement for an embedded Web server password.
System requirements
To use the embedded Web server, you must have the following:
z TCP/IP-based network (IPX/SPX-based networks are not supported)
z Web browser installed on your computer (either Netscape Navigator 4.8 or Microsoft
Internet Explorer 5.0 or later)
The all-in-one must be connected to the network. You cannot use the embedded Web server
when the all-in-one is connected directly to a computer.
You can open and use the embedded Web server without being connected to the Internet.
However, some features will not be available. You can view the embedded Web server pages
only from the same side of a firewall.
Opening the embedded Web server
In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the IP address that has been assigned to
the all-in-one. For example, if the IP address for the all-in-one is 123.123.123.123, you would
type the following address into your Web browser:
http://123.123.123.123.
The IP address for the all-in-one is listed on the Configuration page (see Configuration page ).
It also appears on the control-panel display while the all-in one is in an idle state ( READY
appears on the display).
After you open the embedded Web server, you can bookmark it so that you can return to it
quickly in the future.
