HP LaserJet Enterprise, HP LaserJet Managed, HP PageWide Enterprise, HP PageWide Managed - Configuration Guide using the Embedded Web Server (EWS)

1 Overview of the HP Embedded Web Server
(EWS)
The HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) resides on a printer in the rmware instead of as software that is installed
on a network server. The EWS provides an interface to the printer that anyone who has a network-connected
computer and a standard Web browser can open and use. No additional software or drivers are required. Use the
EWS to view the printer status and manage the printing functions from a computer instead of from the printer
control panel.

HP Embedded Web Server features
NOTE: This information is specic to the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) for Enterprise and Managed printers/
MFPs running HP FutureSmart rmware.
An administrator password can be set to prevent unauthorized users from remotely conguring the printer or
from gaining access to functionality reserved for the network administrator from the control panel. Some tabs,
pages, and settings are available only when an administrator password is set. For more information about
assigning an administrator password, see the General Security page on the Security tab.
NOTE: By default, no administrator password is set. HP recommends securing the printer by setting the admin
password for the EWS.
If an administrator password is set, only the Information tab is available when a user rst accesses the EWS. To
gain access to the other tabs and settings in the EWS, click the Sign In button located in the upper-right corner of
the page, and then sign in with the administrator password. To maintain security for the printer, click the Sign
Out button when nished using the EWS.
The tabs for the EWS are available across the top of the page. On small, narrow devices, the tabs are collapsed
and available from the menu icon.
NOTE: All features might not be available on every device.
