ENWW HP Toolbox and embedded Web server communication 99
HP Toolbox and embedded Web server communication
The HP Toolbox includes an embedded Web server to provide the Advanced Printer Settings
functions of the HP Toolbox.
An embedded Web server resides in the HP LaserJet 1010 series printers and the HP Toolbox
communicates with this embedded Web server. The HP Toolbox is installed during the standard
install process and runs in the Apache Tomcat Server (v. 4.03) and the Sun™ Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) version 1.3.1, allowing the HP Toolbox status and device configuration to
simulate an embedded Web server in a printer that does not contain a Web server. Status Client is
a native application that is part of the HP Toolbox software and runs on the user’s computer. It
communicates with the main HP Toolbox application. In addition to the HP Toolbox and Status
Client applications, the installer installs the Tomcat server and the JRE v.1.3.1, if it is not already
installed on the user’s computer. For more information on the Apache Tomcat Server, go to http://
jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html. The Apache Tomcat Server is open source software. For
more information on the Sun™ Java Runtime Environment (JRE) v. 1.3.1, go to http://
java.sun.com/j2se/1.3./.
HP Toolbox communication
HP Toolbox is available for Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
HP Toolbox works with a Web browser to provide information about the printer status, as well as
configure and send alerts, provide troubleshooting, and provide user documentation. You can also
register the printer, order supplies, and access the user guide and product support.
To receive the most current printer status in HP Toolbox, on the Status tab, click Refresh Status.
To run Toolbox with debugging enabled, see page 112.
