Overview Overview 1 What is an embedded Web server? A Web server provides an environment in which Web programs can run, in much 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, Apple Safari, or Mozilla, can show output from a Web server.
Overview ■ View and print information pages, such as the Configuration page. ■ Receive alerts about product events, such as when the product is low on supplies, through e-mail. ■ Select the language in which to display the HP EWS screens. ■ Print to an HP product without having to install the product printer driver. ■ Conserve energy by scheduling the product sleep delay so that the product will go into sleep mode after a period of time of not being used.
Overview System requirements In order to use the HP EWS, you must have the following components: ■ A supported Web browser. Browsers that support embedded Web servers include (but are not limited to) the following: ■ Konqueror 3.0 or later ■ Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later ■ Mozilla 1.0 (and Mozilla derivatives) ■ Netscape Navigator 6.2 or later ■ Opera 7.0 or later ■ Safari 1.0 or later ■ A transmission control protocol/Internet protocol- (TCP/IP-) based network connection.
Login and logoff Overview The HP EWS has screens that can be used to view product information and change configuration options. The screens that appear, and the settings on them, vary according to how you gain access to the HP EWS: as a general user, an information technology (IT) administrator, or a service provider. These passwords can be customized by an IT administrator or a service provider.
Overview CAUTION If you do not close the browser, the connection to the product HP EWS continues to run and could pose security risks. Navigating through the HP Embedded Web Server To navigate through the HP EWS screens, click one of the tabs (such as Information or Settings), and then click one of the menus on the navigation bar that is located on the left side of the screen.
