Toolbox (Windows)
The Toolbox provides maintenance information about the printer.
NOTE: The Toolbox can be installed from the HP Software CD if the computer meets the system
requirements.
Open the Toolbox
1. Open the HP printer software by doing one of the following:
• From the computer desktop, click Start, select Programs or All Programs, click HP, click the folder
for the printer, and then select the icon with the printer's name.
• On the Start screen, right-click an empty area on the screen, click All Apps on the app bar, and then
click the icon with the printer's name.
2. In the window that appears, select Print, Scan & Fax or Print & Scan, and then select Maintain Your
Printer under Print.
HP Utility (Mac OS X)
HP Utility contains tools to configure print settings, calibrate the printer, order supplies online, and find web site
support information.
NOTE: The features available in HP Utility vary depending on the selected printer.
Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a low-ink
warning message, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do
not need to replace cartridges until prompted to do so.
To open HP Utility
Double-click HP Utility in the Applications/ Hewlett-Packard folder.
Embedded web server
When the printer is connected to a network, you can use the printer's home page (embedded web server or
EWS) to view status information, change settings, and manage it from your computer.
NOTE: For a list of system requirements for the embedded web server, see Embedded web server
specifications.
To view or change some settings, you might need a password.
You can open and use the embedded web server without being connected to the Internet. However, some
features are not available.
