The Embedded Web Server
The Embedded Web Server is the administration and configuration software that is installed in the printer. It allows
System Administrators to modify network and system settings on the printer remotely using a Web browser.
You can check the status of the printer, monitor paper and supply levels, and submit and track print jobs. All these
functions can be accessed from the convenience of your computer.
The Embedded Web Server requires:
• A TCP/IP connection between the printer and the network in Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, or Linux environments.
• TCP/IP and HTTP enabled in the printer.
• A network-connected computer with a Web browser that supports JavaScript.
ACCESSING THE EMBEDDED WEB SERVER
At your computer, open a Web browser. In the address field, type the IP address of the printer, then press EEnntteerr or
RReettuurrnn.
To use the Embedded Web Server, click the page required:
• HHoommee: This page provides a description of the printer and current notifications, the status of the paper trays,
and supplies and billing information. There is a Quick Links area at the bottom of the page that provides direct
access to key functions and pages.

looks up addresses from an LDAP directory. If both the Address Book and Device Address Book are configured,
users are presented with a choice when they use a compatible app.
