Embedded Web server
When the device is connected to a network, you can use the embedded Web server to
view status information, change settings, and manage it from your computer.
NOTE:For a list of system requirements for the embedded Web server, see
Embedded Web server specifications.
Some settings might be restricted by the requirement for a password.
You can open and use the embedded Web server without being connected to the
Internet; however, some features will not be available.
The embedded Web server (EWS) places a very small text file (cookies) on your hard
drive when you are browsing. These files let the EWS recognize your computer the
next time you visit. For example, if you have configured the EWS language, a cookie
helps remember which language you have selected so that the next time you open the
EWS, the pages are displayed in that language. Though some cookies are cleared at
the end of each session (such as the cookie that stores the selected language), others
(such as the cookie that stores customer-specific preferences) are stored on the
computer until you clear them manually.
You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, or you can configure it to alert
you every time a cookie is offered, which allows you to decide on a cookie-by-cookie
basis which cookies to accept or refuse. You can also use your browser to remove
unwanted cookies.
NOTE:Depending on your device, if you chose to disable cookies, you will
disable one or more of the following features:
• Remembering the EWS browser language setting
• Automatically refreshing the existing page
• Starting where you left the application (especially useful when using setup wizards)
• Preventing other users from modifying the same settings while you are making
changes
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.

an IP address.
When you open the embedded Web server, you might receive an invalid certificate
message. Accept the link to enter the EWS.
•Web browser: In a supported Web browser on your computer, type the IP address
or hostname that has been assigned to the device.
For example, if you are using an IPv4 network environment and the IP address is

the Web browser: http://[FE80::BA:D0FF:FE39:73E7].
The IP address and hostname for the device are listed on the network or wireless
