Help workgroups thrive with easy
manageability
Manage devices remotely using your web browser
The HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) included in the printer provides a universal interface to the device that
anyone with a network-connected computer and a standard web browser can easily access, regardless of the
operating system. The EWS interface can be password-protected and is only available to users within the
business or enterprise firewall. It requires no special software to install or configure. EWS allows you to display
status information, change settings, and manage the printer from your computer.
EWS and HP Web Jetadmin work together to meet your product management needs. You can install and
manage networked devices quickly and effectively. Network administrators can manage networked devices
remotely, from practically anywhere.
The HP Embedded Web Server provides a simple, easy-to-use solution for one-to-one product management in
environments that have a limited number of products. However, environments that have several products might
want to use HP Web Jetadmin for group product management. With HP Web Jetadmin you can discover,
manage, and configure multiple devices simultaneously. This solution lets you install, configure, monitor, and
troubleshoot printing and imaging devices and supplies from anywhere on the network with a single tool.
Loaded with new features and enhanced security, HP Web Jetadmin is faster and easier to use than ever. You
can download the software free from hp.com/go/wja.
Simplify device interaction with an intuitive control panel
Use easy-to-access menus for managing the printer—product setup, configuring network connections,
specifying default paper sizes and tray selections, checking ink levels, and performing printer maintenance.
Enhance security with built-in features
The printer features a number of options to help secure itself against undesired access and to protect your data:
• Control panel lock—From the HP Embedded Web Server, network administrators can deter unauthorized
users from changing certain device configurations and control panel settings by establishing a password and
locking the control panel. The control panel lock setting itself can also be secured by setting the
HP Embedded Web Server administrator password. The admin password must then be entered when
accessing the control panel lock enable/disable setting.
• Secure data—SSL/TLS (HTTPS) for secure communications, password-protected Embedded Web Server,
DHCP option 81/RFC4702 /RFC4704, stateless protocol, FQDN, device syslog and firewall configurations for
user access control and policies.
• Wireless authentication—The HP Embedded Web Server provides the ability to configure wireless
networking via such 802.1x wireless enterprise authentication protocols as EAP-TLS, LEAP, and PEAP to
support access control. The HP Embedded Web Server also provides the ability to configure wireless dynamic
key encryption such as WEP encryption and WPA-PSK authentication.
• Enable/disable features—You can easily enable and disable features such as Wireless Direct Authentication,
IPv6, and HP ePrint.
