Advanced configuration with HP Embedded Web Server and
Printer Home Page (EWS)
Use the HP Embedded Web Server to manage printing functions from your computer instead of the
printer control panel.

● View and change tray configurations (paper types and sizes)
● View and print internal pages

The HP Embedded Web Server works when the printer is connected to an IP-based network. The HP
Embedded Web Server does not support IPX-based printer connections. You do not have to have
Internet access to open and use the HP Embedded Web Server.
When the printer is connected to the network, the HP Embedded Web Server is automatically available.
NOTE: Printer Home Page (EWS) is software used to connect to the HP Embedded Web Server when
the printer is connected to a computer via USB. It is available only if a full installation was performed
when the printer was installed on a computer. Depending on how the printer is connected, some
features might not be available.
NOTE: The HP Embedded Web Server is not accessible beyond the network firewall.
Open the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) from a web browser
Use the EWS to manage your printer from a computer instead of the printer control panel.
Your printer must be connected to an IP-based network before you can access the EWS.
1. Locate the printer's IP address on the printer control panel by rotating the dial to select Menu, and
then pressing the dial. Rotate and press the dial to select Info, then rotate to select Connected
under either WiFi or Ethernet (whichever method you are using to connect), then use the dial to
view the printer's IP address.
2. Open a web browser, and in the address line, type the IP address or host name exactly as it
displays on the printer control panel. Press the Enter key on the computer keyboard. The EWS
opens.
NOTE: If a message displays in the web browser indicating that the website might not be safe,
select the Advanced option to continue to the website. Accessing this website will not harm the
computer.
