1 Overview What is an embedded Web server? A Web server provides an environment in which Web programs can run, much in the same way that an operating system, such as Microsoft® Windows®, provides an environment in which programs can run on your computer. A Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, can show output from a Web server.
Additional features with a permanent storage device If you have a permanent storage device installed in your product, such as a hard disk or flash disk, you can view, set up, and retain additional information. ● Alerts. Set up four different destination lists, with up to 20 recipients on each of the four lists. (Without the permanent storage device, you can send alerts to only two e-mail addresses.) ● Other Links. Add up to five additional links to the websites of your choice.
Navigating through the HP Embedded Web Server The HP Embedded Web Server has pages that can be used to view product information and change configuration options. You can gain access to these pages by clicking one of the tabs (Information, Settings, and Networking) and then clicking one of the menus on the navigation bar that is located on the left side of the screen. The following illustration and table provide information about the EWS screens.

3 Configuring the Product from the Settings Pages Use the pages on the Settings tab to configure the product from your computer. The following are the Settings pages: Note ENWW ● Configure Device (page 16) ● Email (page 18) ● Alerts (page 20) ● AutoSend (page 25) ● Security (page 26) ● Other Links (page 28) ● Device Information (page 29) ● Language (page 30) ● Time Services (page 31) ● Digital Sending (page 32) Some products do not support all of these pages.
Configure Device You can use the Configure Device page to print information product pages and configure the product remotely. The following illustration, table, and example procedure describe how to use this page. The following example shows the Information menu options. Note If your product has a control-panel display, these menus are similar to the menus that are available at your product control panel. Some of the product control panel menus are not available from the embedded Web server.
Using the menus on the Configure Device page This procedure is provided only as an example. Other menu items can be set in a similar manner. Note Printer drivers and software programs frequently override selections that are made in the Printing menu and the Paper Handling menu. For more information, see the user guide that came with your product. Any changes are reflected on the Printer Status page, the Configuration page, and the Paper Handling menu.
Email Use the Email page to configure e-mail settings for outgoing and incoming mail, which allows you to configure product alerts. The following illustration, table, and procedures describe how to use this page. Note For some products, you enable incoming and outgoing e-mail on this page, and for other products you enable e-mail on the Security page. For some products, this page is called Email Server.
Configuring outgoing e-mail It is only necessary to configure outgoing e-mail if you intend to use the Alerts or AutoSend feature. 1 Gather the following information. (Your organization’s network or e-mail administrator typically provides the information that is required to configure outgoing mail.) • The Internet protocol (IP) address of the simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) mail server on your network. The EWS uses the SMTP Server IP address to relay e-mail messages to other computers.
Alerts From the Alerts page, you can set up the product to send problem and status alerts to anyone through e-mail messages. More than one individual can receive alerts, with each person receiving only specific alerts. For example, an administrative assistant might be responsible for ordering print cartridges or fixing jams, and could receive advanced warning on cartridge-low situations or be alerted to a jam situation.
Using the Alerts page with a product This section contains information about these alerts features: ● “To configure Alerts” on page 21 ● “To delete destinations and destination lists” on page 23 To configure Alerts With a permanent storage device installed, you can set up four different lists, with up to 20 recipients on each of the four lists. Without a hard disk, you have room for only two e-mail addresses. 1 If you do not have a permanent storage device, type up to two e-mail addresses.
2 Do one of the following: • Select the check box for an alert category, and then click Apply to save your changes. When you select a check box for an alert category, you automatically select all of the individual alerts that are associated with that event category. Continue to step 4. Alert category Description Supplies Service Select specific supplies alerts, such as Cartridge Low or Fuser Kit Low. Select specific events that require service, such as “Printer Error” or “Duplex Error, Check Duplexer”.
3 Click any individual alerts that are hyperlinks (underlined with blue) to set a threshold value. Set the threshold value for the individual event, and then click OK or Apply. The threshold value for Supplies is a percentage, 0 percent through 20 percent, that represents the amount of supply that remains. For example, if you set the threshold value for the “Cartridge Low (Order)” alert at 15 percent, the product sends you an e-mail alert message when 15 percent of the print-cartridge life remains.
c In the Subject field, type the appropriate text for the format and page that you would like to attach. You can request a Configuration page, a Supplies Status page, or an AutoSend page. For example, if you would like to attach the Configuration page in HTML format, type “this.configpage?configpage=email&format=html”. Page HTML format Configuration page this.configpage?configpage =email&format=html Supplies Status page this.
AutoSend Use the AutoSend page to send device configuration and supplies usage information periodically to Hewlett-Packard. This feature enables you to have a relationship with Hewlett-Packard that is designed to provide you with services that include but are not limited to proactive cartridge replacement, pay-per-page contracts, support agreements, and usage tracking. The following illustration, table, and procedure describe how to use this page.
Security The following illustration and table describe how to use this page. 1 2 3 4 5 Callout Area on the page 1 EWS tabs and menus 2 Password 3 4 Display on Device Status Page Enable Email Information or capability provided by the area For more information, see “Navigating through the HP Embedded Web Server” on page 3. Set a password to control who can cancel jobs remotely or gain access to the Settings pages. The username is already set as “laserjet”.
Enabling outgoing e-mail It is only necessary to enable outgoing e-mail if you intend to use the Alerts or AutoSend feature. Note After you enable outgoing e-mail, configure it by following the instructions in “Email” on page 18. ● Select the Enable Outgoing Email check box, and then click Apply to save the changes. Enabling incoming e-mail You should enable incoming e-mail if you intend to request information pages from the product by using e-mail messages.
