HP Embedded Web Server
The HP Embedded Web Server provides a universal interface to the printer that anyone with a
network-connected PC and a standard Web browser can easily access. It requires no special
software to install or configure. The HP Embedded Web Server allows you to display status
information, change settings, and manage the printer from your computer.
The HP Embedded Web Server requires a connection to the network via an HP Jetdirect print
server. HP Color LaserJet 4650n, 4650dn, 4650dtn, and 4650hdn printers come standard with
the HP Jetdirect 620n Fast Ethernet print server. To use the HP Embedded Web Server, you need
the following:
• A TCP/IP-based network
• A Web browser installed on your computer; either Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later or
Netscape Navigator 6.2 or later
Note You can gain access to the HP Embedded Web Server from any operating system that
supports the TCP/IP protocol and a Web browser. Parallel cable connections and IPX-
based network connections are not supported. You cannot view the HP Embedded Web
Server pages from outside a firewall.
You do not have to have Internet access to open and use the HP Embedded Web Server.
For more information, see the HP Embedded Web Server User Guide located on the
printing systems software CD included with the printer.
Using the HP Embedded Web Server
When the printer is connected to the network, the HP Embedded Web Server is automatically
available. You may access the HP Embedded Web Server from Windows 98 and later. The HP
Embedded Web Server allows you to view printer and network status and to manage printing
functions from your computer instead of from the printer control panel. Below are examples of what
you can do using the HP Embedded Web Server:
• View printer control status information
• Set the type of paper loaded in each tray
• Determine the remaining life on all supplies and order new supplies on-line via the Internet
• View and change tray configurations
• View and change the printer control panel menu configuration
• View and print internal pages
• Receive notification of printer and supplies events
• View and change network configuration
