							Embedded Web server
This device is equipped with an embedded Web server, which allows access to information
about device and network activities. A Web server provides an environment in which web
programs may run, much in the same way that an operating system, such as Windows,
provides an environment for programs to run on your computer. The output from these
programs can then be displayed by a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer,
Safari, or Netscape Navigator.
An “embedded” Web server resides on a hardware device (such as a printer) or in firmware,
rather than as software that is loaded on a network server.
The advantage of an embedded Web server is that it provides an interface to the device that
anyone with a network-connected computer and a standard Web browser can access. There
is no special software to install or configure, but you must have a supported Web browser on
your computer. To access the embedded Web server, type the IP address for the device in
the address line of the browser. (To find the IP address, print a Configuration page. For more
information about printing a Configuration page, see 
Configuration page.)
Note
For Macintosh operating systems, you can use the EWS over a USB connection.
Features
The HP embedded Web server allows you to view device and network card status and
manage printing functions from your computer. With the HP embedded Web server, you can
do the following:
●view device status information
●determine the remaining life on all supplies and order new ones
●view and change tray configurations
●view and change the device control panel menu configuration
●view and print internal pages
●add or customize links to other Web sites
●select the language in which to display the embedded Web server pages
●view and change network configuration
●view support content that is device-specific and specific to the device’s current state
For a complete explanation of the features and functionality of the embedded Web server,
see the embedded Web server online Help. For more information about other Help sources,
see 
Where to look for more information.

							Cleaning the device
The section contains information about cleaning the device.
To clean the exterior
Use a soft, damp, lint-free cloth to wipe dust, smudges, and stains off of the exterior of the
device.
To clean the scanner glass
Dirty glass, from fingerprints, smudges, hair, and so on, slows down performance and affects
the accuracy of special features such as fit-to-page and copy.
Note
If streaks or other defects appear only on copies produced using the automatic document
feeder (ADF), clean the scanner strip (step 3). It is not necessary to clean the scanner glass.
1. Turn off the device, unplug the power cord from the electrical socket, and raise the lid.
2. Clean the glass by using a soft cloth or sponge that has been moistened with
nonabrasive glass cleaner.
CAUTIONDo not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, ammonia, ethyl alcohol, or carbon tetrachloride on
any part of the device; these can damage the device. Do not place liquids directly on the
glass. They might seep under it and damage the device.
3. Clean the scanner strip by using a soft cloth or sponge that has been moistened with
nonabrasive glass cleaner.
4. To prevent spotting, dry the glass by using a chamois or cellulose sponge.
To clean the lid backing 
Minor debris can accumulate on the white document lid backing that is located underneath
the device lid.
1. Turn off the device, unplug the power cord from the electrical socket, and raise the lid.
192Chapter 12 Managing the device and maintenance ENWW
 
						

							2. Clean the white document lid backing by using a soft cloth or sponge that has been 
moistened with a mild soap and warm water.  Also, clean the scanner strip next to the 
ADF scanner glass.
3. Wash the backing gently to loosen  debris; do not scrub the backing. 
4. Dry the backing by using a chamois or soft cloth. 
CAUTIONDo not use paper-based wipes because they might scratch the backing. 
5. If this does not clean the backing  well enough, repeat the previous steps and use 
isopropyl alcohol to dampen the cloth or  sponge, and then wipe the backing thoroughly 
with a damp cloth to remove any residual alcohol.
Cleaning the paper path
During the printing process, paper, toner and dust particles can accumulate inside the
device. Over time, this buildup can cause print-quality problems such as toner specks or 
smearing. This device has a cleaning mode that can correct and prevent these types of 
problems.
ENWW Cleaning the device193
NoteIn certain areas of California, air pollution control regulations restrict the use of liquid 
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) as a cleaning agent.  In those areas of California, please 
disregard the previous recommendations and use a dry, lint-free cloth.  The cloth may 
be moistened with water if desired.
