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 four 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.

Print You can use this page to print one file at a time from a product that supports the HP embedded Web server. This feature is especially useful if you are a mobile user, because you do not have to install the product’s printer driver in order to print—you can print anywhere at any time. Note This page only appears if it has been enabled on the Security page by your system administrator.
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 18) ● Email Server (page 20) ● Alerts (page 22) ● AutoSend (page 29) ● Security (page 30) ● Edit Other Links (page 31) ● Device Information (page 32) ● Language (page 33) ● Time Services (page 34) 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.

Other menu items can be set in a similar manner.
Email Server Use the Email Server 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. 1 2 3 4 Callout Area on the page 1 2 3 4 Information or capability provided by the area EWS tabs and menus For more information, see “Navigating through the HP Embedded Web Server” on page 3.
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.
1 2 3 4 5 6 Callout Area on the page 1 EWS tabs and menus 2 Destination list summary For more information, see “Navigating through the HP Embedded Web Server” on page 3. Lists the current selections for each destination. Edit button Click to make changes to the destination or destination list. 4 Test button Click to send a test alert to the destination or destination list. 5 Delete button Click to delete the destination or destination list.
Using the Alerts page with a product This section contains information about these alerts features: ● “To configure Alerts” on page 24 ● “To test the configuration of a destination” on page 27 ● “To delete destinations and destination lists” on page 28 To configure Alerts With a permanent storage device installed, you can set up four different lists, with up to 20 recipients on each list. Without a permanent storage device, you have room for only four e-mail addresses.
If a permanent storage device is not installed, the window that appears looks similar to the following illustration. ENWW 2 For products with permanent storage devices installed, type a name for the List Name, such as Service or Supplies. (If you do not have a permanent storage device, continue to step 3.) 3 Type the e-mail addresses for people who you want to receive alerts. In large environments, system administrators can route e-mail addresses to list servers or URLs for expanded alerts.
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 e-mail alert message(s) when 15 percent of the print-cartridge life remains. The threshold value for service and for the paper path is a user-specified number of minutes.
To test the configuration of a destination 1 Click the Test button next to the destination that you want to test. The following window appears. (This illustration shows the screen from a system that does not have a permanent storage device installed. If a permanent storage device is installed, more than one destination can be tested from this window.) ENWW 2 If you have a permanent storage device installed, select the destinations that you want to test.
To delete destinations and destination lists ● You can delete a destination or destination list by clicking the Delete button next to the destination or destination list that you want to delete. Click OK to confirm the deletion. Sending e-mail commands to the product Another method for receiving information pages is by requesting them from the product.
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.
