Using the embedded Web server
The embedded Web server allows you to view printer and network
status and to manage printing functions from your PC instead of from
the printer control panel. This service is designed for offices using an
IP network and a standard Web browser. Below are examples of what
you can do using the embedded Web server:
view printer control panel messages
determine the remaining life on all consumables
order consumables
view and change tray configurations
view and change the printer control panel menu configuration
view and print internal pages
receive notification of printer events
view and change network configuration
To use the embedded Web server, you must have an IP-based
network and a Web browser. The embedded Web server can be used
with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 or above, and with Netscape
Navigator 4 and above. IPX-based printer connections are not
supported by the embedded Web server.
To access the embedded Web server
1 Open your Web browser.
2 Type the IP address assigned to the printer into the Address or
Location field.
If you do not know the IP address for the printer, it is listed on the
printer configuration page. For more information about printing a
