Embedded Web server (available for the HP Color LaserJet 3700 series
printer)
This printer is equipped with an embedded Web server that allows access to information about the
printer and network activities. A Web server provides an environment in which web programs may
run, much in the same way that an operating system, such as Windows, provides an environment
for programs to run on your PC. The output from these programs can then be displayed by a Web
browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
An embedded Web server resides on a hardware device (such as a printer) or in firmware, rather
than as software that is loaded on a network server.
The advantage of an embedded Web server is that it provides an interface to the printer that
anyone with a network-connected PC and a standard Web browser can access. There is no
special software to install or configure, but you must have a supported Web browser on your
computer. To access the embedded Web server, type the IP address for the printer in the address
line of the browser. (To find the IP address, print a configuration page. For more information about
printing a configuration page, see the user guide.)
