Viewing the Embedded Web Server
Before you can use the embedded web server, the HP JetDirect print
server must be configured with an IP address.
There are many ways to configure an IP address on the print server.
For example, you can automatically configure IP parameters over
the network using BootP (Bootstrap Protocol) or DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol) each time the printer is turned on. Or,
you can manually configure IP parameters using one of the
following methods:
●
the Install Network Printer wizard on the HP JetDirect CD-ROM
●
the printer’s control panel (see chapter 3),
●
Telnet (see the HP JetDirect administrator’s guide supplied
electronically on the HP JetDirect CD-ROM),
●
Using the TCP/IP “arp -s” command,
●
HP Web JetAdmin or other management software.
If the HP JetDirect print server does not receive it’s IP configuration
within two minutes after power up, a default IP address is
automatically assigned: 192.0.0.192. This address is not a valid
IP address for your network but can be used to initially access the
JetDirect print server. However, to use the default IP address, you
must temporarily set up your system with the same IP network
number or establish a route to it.
After an IP address is established on the print server, perform the
following steps:
1. Run a supported version of your web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the print server as the URL.
