status information, change settings, and manage it from your computer.
NOTE: To view or change some settings, you might need a password.
NOTE: You can open and use the embedded web server without being connected to the Internet. However,
some features are not available.

About cookies
The embedded Web server (EWS) places very small text les (cookies) on your hard drive when you are
browsing. These les let the EWS recognize your computer the next time you visit. For example, if you have
congured the EWS language, a cookie helps remember which language you have selected so that the next
time you access the EWS, the pages are displayed in that language. Some cookies (such as the cookie that
stores customer-specic preferences) are stored on the computer until you clear them manually.
You can congure your browser to accept all cookies, or you can congure it to alert you every time a cookie is
oered, which allows you to decide which cookies to accept or refuse. You can also use your browser to
remove unwanted cookies.
Depending on your printer, if you disable cookies, you also disable one or more of the following features:
● Using some setup wizards
● Remembering the EWS browser language setting
● Personalizing the EWS Home page
For information about how to change your privacy and cookie settings and how to view or delete cookies, see
the documentation available with your Web browser.
