The Embedded Web Server
The Embedded Web Server is the administration and configuration software that is installed in the printer. It allows
you to configure and administer the printer from a Web browser.
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.
ACCESSING THE EMBEDDED WEB SERVER
At your computer, open a Web browser. In the address field, type the IP address of the printer, then press EEnntteerr or
RReettuurrnn.
FINDING THE IP ADDRESS OF YOUR PRINTER
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. However, if Wi-Fi
is set as the primary Ethernet connection, 0.0.0.0 is displayed as the IP address for the printer.

1. At the printer control panel, press the HHoommee button.
