Device Tabs

In place of the Home tab, various device tabs may appear if the attached network device (such as the
printer or MFP device) contains a supported embedded Web server. Device tabs provide access to the
Web pages served by the device. For information on Device tab features, see the embedded Web server
guide for the device. This guide is supplied with HP LaserJet printers/MFPs that support an embedded
Web server.

Networking Tab

The Networking tab provides access to HP Jetdirect network configuration parameters and status. At
the top of the page, the printer/MFP model, host name, and IP address are displayed. These items are
persistent on all network configuration pages. The menu items in the left margin provide access to
configuration and status pages, and are listed below.

be configured through a Telnet session with the HP Jetdirect print server, or from HP Web

Use the Admin Password page to set or clear administrator passwords.
If an administrator password has been set, you will be prompted for a User Name and
Password to access network parameters. For more information, click Help, or see the
