Using the embedded Web server
If an HP Jetdirect print server card is installed in the printer comes equipped with an 
embedded Web server. Using a standard Web browser, this remote management tool allows 
you to do the following tasks:
zConfigure network protocol settings
zConfigure network security settings
To use the embedded Web server, you must have a Web browser, and the printer must be 
connected to an IP-based network. (IPX/SPX networks are not supported.) You cannot use 
the embedded Web server when the printer is connected directly to a computer.
Gaining access to the embedded Web server
You can gain access to the embedded Web server from any supported Web browser. Type 
the IP address assigned to the printer into the Web browser. For example, if the printer IP 
address were 123.123.123.123, you would type http://123.123.123.123 into your Web 
browser. 
If you do not know the IP address for the printer, it is listed on the HP Jetdirect configuration 
page. To print this page, press the TEST button on the print server card.
Embedded Web server pages
The embedded Web server, which contains information about the print server card, consists of 
these tabs: 
zHome
zNetworking
Home
The Home tab provides information about the printer, such as physical location, IP host name 
and address, hardware address, HP Jetdirect print server product number, and amount of time 
since the HP Jetdirect printer server was last turned off and on. You can also use the Home 
tab to reach network configuration, security, and diagnostic parameters.
Networking
The network pages of the embedded Web server allow the network administrator to configure 
the HP Jetdirect card for the printer. See the online Help and the HP Jetdirect Print Server 
Administrator’s Guide for more information. This guide is located on the Starter CD.

Making copies of the software 
The Starter CD contains a utility that lets you copy the printer software on to disks, or to create 
custom installations, which is a task usually performed by system administrators. When you 
run the Installer, select Customization Utility to copy disks.
You can also use this utility to copy the printer software to your hard drive or to a network 
drive. After the files are copied to another location, you can install the printer software from 
that location.
Installing other software 
The following drivers and optional software are also available for installation on the printer.
zHP Web Jetadmin. This is a Web browser-based network printer management tool. A link 
to the HP Web Jetadmin website is included on the Starter CD. See “Using HP Web

Using the printer
In this section you will learn how to use the printer driver to change printer settings and to 
perform basic printer tasks. You will also learn about the special media that you can use with 
the printer and how to print on that media.
Selecting print media
Before you use the printer, take some time to familiarize yourself with the various media you 
can use.
The printer is designed to work well with most types of office paper and with 25 percent cotton 
bond paper. It is best to test a variety of print media types before buying large quantities. Find 
a media type that works well and is easy to purchase.
NoteUse HP media for optimum print quality. These print media types are specifically designed to 
work well with the printer. For ordering information and part numbers, see “HP supplies and 
accessories”.
Tips for selecting and using print media
For the best results, observe the following guidelines:
zAlways use paper that conforms to the printer specifications. For a list of supported media, 
see “Understanding supported sizes” and “Understanding supported media types and 
weights”.
zLoad only one paper type at a time into a tray.
zIn Tray 1 and Tray 2, load media print-side down with the right edge of the media aligned 
against the right edge and front guide of the tray. See “Loading media”.
zLoad no more than 150 sheets of media into Tray 1. If Tray 2 is installed, load no more 
than 250 sheets of plain paper into it.
zDo not use media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled. Do not use paper with cutouts or 
perforations or paper that is heavily textured or embossed. These types of media can 
cause jams and other problems.
zDo not use paper that is too lightweight or stretches easily. These types of paper can feed 
improperly or jam. See “Understanding specifications for supported media”.
zDo not use multipart forms.
zPaper that is heavily textured or does not accept ink well can cause poorly filled graphics 
or text.
