The Embedded Web Server; Finding The Ip Address Of Your Printer - Xerox AltaLink B8145 Series User Manual

Getting Started

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.
