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.

You need the IP address of your printer to do the following:
• To install the print driver for a network-connected printer.
• 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 a 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 that there is a network
connectivity issue.
