Advanced printer management tools (for networked
printers)
When the printer is connected to a network or connected to a computer through Wireless Direct, you can use the
embedded Web server (EWS) to view status information, change settings, and manage the printer from your
computer.
NOTE: 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.

Open EWS for the pinter on a network
1. If your printer is on a network, it must have an IP address. Find the IP address by touching the Wireless
icon from the Home screen on the control panel or by printing a network configuration page.
2. In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the IP address or hostname that has been assigned to
the printer.
For example, if the IP address is 192.168.0.12, type the following address into a Web browser such as
Internet Explorer: http://192.168.0.12.

About cookies
The embedded Web server (EWS) places very small text files (cookies) on your hard drive when you are
browsing. These files let the EWS recognize your computer the next time you visit. For example, if you have
configured the EWS language, a cookie helps remember which language you have selected so that the next time
you access the EWS, the pages are displayed in that language. Though some cookies are cleared at the end of
each session (such as the cookie that stores the selected language), others (such as the cookie that stores
customer-specific preferences) are stored on the computer until you clear them manually.
You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, or you can configure it to alert you every time a cookie is
offered, which allows you to decide which cookies to accept or refuse. You can also use your browser to remove
unwanted cookies.
NOTE: Depending on your printer, if you disable cookies, you also disable one or more of the following
features:
• Starting where you left the application (especially useful when using setup wizards).
• Remembering the EWS browser language setting.
• Personalizing the EWS Home page.
