NOTE: On a Macintosh computer, the features available in the HP Utility vary depending on
the selected device.
Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you
receive an ink alert message, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid
possible printing delays. You do not need to replace cartridges until print quality becomes
unacceptable.
TIP: When the HP Utility is opened, you can gain access to the Dock menu shortcuts by
selecting and holding the mouse button over the appropriate icon for the HP Utility in the
Dock.

Embedded Web server (some models only)
When the device is connected to a network, you can use the embedded Web server to view status
information, change settings, and manage it from your computer.
NOTE: For a list of system requirements for the embedded Web server, see Embedded
Web server specifications (some models only).
Some settings might be restricted by the requirement for a password.
You can open and use the embedded Web server without being connected to the Internet;
however, some features will not be available.
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 device, if you chose to disable cookies, you will disable one or
more of the following features:
• Automatically refreshing the existing page
• Starting where you left the application (especially useful when using setup wizards)
• Preventing other users from modifying the same settings while you are making changes
• Remembering the EWS browser language setting
For information about how to change your privacy and cookie settings and how to view or delete
cookies, see the documentation available with your Web browser.
To open the embedded Web server
NOTE: The device must be on a network and must have an IP address.
