Embedded Web server
NOTE An embedded Web server is not available for the HP LaserJet 5200L.
The printer is equipped with an embedded Web server, which provides access to information about
printer and network activities. This information appears in a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
The embedded Web server resides on the printer. It is not loaded on a network server.
The embedded Web server provides an interface to the printer that anyone who has a network-
connected computer and a standard Web browser can use. No special software is installed or
configured, but you must have a supported Web browser on your computer. To gain access to 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
Configuration pages on page 283.
