Using the embedded Web server
Use the embedded Web server to view the status of the MFP and the network and to
manage printing functions from your computer instead of from the MFP control panel. With
the embedded Web server, you can complete the following tasks:
● view MFP status information
● set the type of media that is loaded in each tray
● determine the remaining life on all supplies and order new ones
● view and change tray configurations
● view and change the MFP control-panel menu configuration
● view and print internal pages
● receive notification of MFP and supplies events
● add or customize links to other Web sites
● select the language in which to show the embedded Web server pages
● view and change network configuration
To use the embedded Web server, you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or later
or Netscape 6.2 or later for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux (Linux works with Netscape
only). Netscape Navigator 4.7 is required for HP-UX Release 10 and HP-UX Release 11.
The embedded Web server works when the MFP is connected to an IP-based network.
The embedded Web server does not support IPX-based MFP connections. You do not
have to have Internet access to open and use the embedded Web server. The embedded
Web server is automatically available.
When the MFP is directly connected to a computer, the embedded Web server is
supported for Windows 95 and later. In order to use the embedded Web server with a
direct connection, you must select the Custom installation option when you install the
printer driver and select the option to load Printer Status and Alerts. The proxy server is
installed as part of the Printer Status and Alerts software.
To use the embedded Web server
In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the IP address for the MFP. (To find
the IP address, print a configuration page. For more information about printing a
configuration page, see “To print information pages” on page 344.)
Note After you open the URL, you can bookmark it so that you can return to it quickly in the future.
1. The embedded Web server has three tabs that contain settings and information about
the MFP: the Information tab, the Settings tab, and the Networking tab. Click the tab
that you want to view.
2. See the following sections for more information about each tab.
