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 use the embedded Web server
1 Open your Web browser.
2 Type the IP address assigned to the printer into the Address or Location field.
The IP address for the printer is listed on the printer configuration page. For more information about
printing a Configuration Page, see Printer configuration page (page 287).
Embedded Web server page sets
The embedded Web server has three sets of internal Web pages for collecting information about the
printer and for changing configuration options. These sets are:
Home pages
Device pages
Networking pages
When the embedded Web server is active, each set of pages is listed on the browser screen. Click
on the set that you want to view, and the selection expands to display a list of frequently accessed
Web links.
Note Each page in the embedded Web server connects to online Help. For more information regarding a
particular page, click the Help button.
