Using the Embedded Web Server

• Checking the status of the printer supplies
• Configuring printer settings
• Configuring network settings
• Viewing reports
To access the Embedded Web Server for your printer:
1 Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser.
Notes:
• If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then print a network setup page, and then locate the IP address
in the TCP/IP section.
• If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Embedded Web Server correctly.
2 Press Enter.
Checking the printer status
You can view paper tray settings, the level of toner in the toner cartridges, the percentage of life remaining in the
maintenance kit, and capacity measurements of certain printer parts from the Device Status page of the Embedded
Web Server.
1 Type the printer IP address in the address field of your Web browser.
Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then you can:
• View the IP address on the printer control panel in the TCP/IP section under the Networks/Ports menu.
• Print a network setup page or the menu settings pages and locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section.
