Using the embedded Web server
The embedded Web server is available for HP LaserJet 1300 series printers with LIO network 
connections. The embedded Web server provides the same functions as the Advanced Printer 
Settings section of the HP toolbox. The main differences between using the embedded Web 
server and using the HP toolbox are the following:
You do not need to install any software on the computer. You only need to have a supported 
Web browser. To use the embedded Web server, you must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 
5.0 or later or Netscape Navigator 4.75 or later.
The embedded Web server is available in English only.
The embedded Web server does not provide e-mail or status alerts.
The embedded Web server is supported by more operating systems than the HP toolbox, 
including Windows 95, Windows NT, Linux, and UNIX
®
.
The embedded Web server allows you to view printer and network status and to manage printing 
functions from your computer instead of from the printer control panel. Below are examples of 
what you can do using the embedded Web server:
view printer status information
view and print internal pages
determine the remaining life on all supplies and order new ones
set the type of paper loaded in each tray
view and change tray configurations
view and change the printer default configuration settings
view and change network configuration
The embedded Web server works when the printer is connected to an IP-based network. The 
embedded Web server does not support IPX- or AppleTalk-based printer connections.
Note
You do not have to have Internet access to open and use the embedded Web server. However, if 
you click a link in the Other Links area, you must have Internet access in order to go to the site 
associated with the link.
To open the embedded Web server
1
In a supported Web browser, type the IP address or hostname for the printer. To find the IP 
address, print a Configuration page at the printer by pressing and holding Go for 5 seconds.
Note
Once you open the URL, you can bookmark it so that you can return to it quickly in the future.
2
The embedded Web server has three tabs that contain settings and information about the 
printer: the Information tab, the Settings tab, and the Networking tab. Click the tab that you 
want to view.
