The embedded Web server allows you to display status information, change settings, and 
manage the product from your computer.

The embedded Web server requires a connection to the network, which is provided through the 
product HP Jetdirect network card. The following requirements must be met before you can use 
the embedded Web server:

• a TCP/IP-based network.

• a Web browser installed on your computer, preferably either Netscape Navigator 4.7x or 

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0x or later.

You can gain access to the embedded Web server from any operating system that supports the 
TCP/IP protocol and a Web browser. Parallel cable connections and IPX-based network product 
connections are not supported. You cannot view the embedded Web server pages from outside 
of a firewall.

You can reach the product home page through the embedded Web server by entering the 
product IP address, or through HP Web Jetadmin.

HP Web Jetadmin is not included in the product installation software, but can be downloaded 
from the HP Web site at

●

set up a support contact and support URLs.

●

set up a password to control who can remotely gain access to the networking pages.
