Embedded Web Server
When the printer is connected to a network, you can use the printer’s Embedded Web Server (EWS) to view
status information, change settings, and manage it from your computer.
NOTE
: For your security, some settings in the EWS are password-protected. If prompted for a password, enter
the PIN from the label on your printer. The PIN label can be found inside the front door.
NOTE
: You can open and use the Embedded Web Server without being connected to the Internet. However,
some features are not available.

About cookies
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. Some cookies (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.
Depending on your printer, if you disable cookies, you also disable one or more of the following features:
• Using some setup wizards
• Remembering the EWS browser language setting
• Personalizing the EWS Home page
