The Embedded Web Server; Finding The Ip Address Of Your Printer - Xerox AltaLink B81 Series User Manual

The Embedded Web Server

The Embedded Web Server is the administration and configuration software that is installed in the
printer. It allows System Administrators to modify network and system settings on the printer
remotely using a Web browser.
You can check the status of the printer, monitor paper and supply levels, and submit and track print
jobs. All these functions can be accessed from the convenience of your computer.
The Embedded Web Server requires:
• A TCP/IP connection between the printer and the network in Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, or Linux
environments.
• TCP/IP and HTTP enabled in the printer.
• A network-connected computer with a Web browser that supports JavaScript.

To install the print driver for a network-connected printer, it is often necessary to know the IP address
of your printer. Also, the IP address is used to access the settings of your printer through the
Embedded Web Server. You can view the IP address of your printer on the control panel or on the
Configuration Report.
Note: To view the TCP/IP address on the control panel, wait until the printer has been on for 2
minutes. If the TCP/IP address is 0.0.0.0, or begins with 169, it indicates a network connectivity
issue.
