This feature is available only in network printers or printers connected to print servers.
If the printer is installed on a network, then you can use the Embedded Web Server to do the following:
  • View the virtual display of the printer control panel.
  • Check the status of the printer supplies.
  • Configure supply notifications.
  • Configure printer settings.
  • Configure network settings.
  • View reports.
To access the Embedded Web Server for your printer:
  1. Obtain the printer IP address:
    • From the TCP/IP section in the Network/Ports menu
    • By printing a network setup page or menu settings page, and then finding the TCP/IP section
      • An IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.
      • If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.
  2. Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.
  3. Press
    Enter
    .
    The Embedded Web Server page appears.
