The Embedded Web Server is a web server running inside the printer. You can use it to obtain
printer information, calculate the cost of the jobs, automatically send notifications
by e-mail from the printer and troubleshoot problems.
Service engineers can use it to retrieve internal information that helps to diagnose printer
problems. This video shows you how to access to the
main functionalities of the embedded web server in the HP Latex 300 Printer Series.
You can access the Embedded Web Server remotely through an ordinary Web browser running on
a computer connected to the same local area network.
First take note of the printer IP address by pressing the connectivity icon on the printer's
front panel. Type the IP address into the computer browser's
address bar and then press Enter on your keyboard. The language used will be the one specified
in your Web browser options. If you specify a language that is not supported, English
will be used. In the Embedded Web Server pages you will
always find the name of the printer. The Host name and IP address.
The Printer status. And a help button that will provide extra
information about the page you are currently viewing.
Use the Main tab to obtain printer information and calculate the cost of jobs.
From the main tab, and by selecting the Supplies option, the status of the printer's user-replaceable
parts is displayed graphically.
The traffic light shows whether maintenance is required.
For more detailed information select "Click to view details".
The Usage page displays substrate and ink consumption from the time the printer was
first used.
Information on total ink consumption is approximate.
The Accounting page shows relevant information about the latest jobs printed.
Information on total ink consumption for each plot is approximate.
By clicking Export to Excel at the top of the page, you can download the Accounting
page information in the form of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
The Accounting page includes costs information. By default, the cost assigned to ink and substrates
is zero. Using the Cost assignments tab you can introduce
your ink and substrate costs. You can change the currency and some other
parameters by selecting the Edit Units option.

Selecting the Printer settings option You can change the number of jobs shown in
the Accounting page. If the printer is Web-connected and the e-mail
server is correctly configured, you can configure the printer to automatically send the accounting
information to the specified e-mail addresses. You may find more details and features about
the accounting functionality at www.hp.com/go/designjet/accounting Some features, such as notifications, will
not be enabled until the unit is connected to the internet. Use the internet connection
page to configure it. This configuration is also accessible from
the front panel of the printer.
If you are not using a web proxy, then simply check the enable access to Internet box.
If you do not know if you have a web proxy, then first try without a proxy and, if it
does not work, try configuring the internet connection with the web proxy server information.
If you are using a web proxy for the internet connection you will need the proxy address
and port information. If you do not know how to obtain this information
contact your IT personnel. To confirm that the printer is correctly connected
to the internet you must go to the Support tab and click on connectivity troubleshooting.
Select the Internet connectivity test and click on the Run test button.
If everything is correctly configured this is the result you will get from the test.
When you are sure the internet connection is working properly you can return to the
Setup tab. In order to enable the automatic notifications
you must also configure the e-mail server. You will need the SMTP server and port information.
If you do not know how to obtain this information contact your IT personnel.
The printer e-mail address does not need to be a real, functional e-mail address but it
should be unique so that recipients of the message can identify the printer that sent
it. You can use the Notification page to ask your
printer to send notifications by e-mail whenever certain specific incidents occur. Notifications
can be sent to multiple e-mail addresses. In order for alerts to function, outgoing
mail must be configured on the E-mail server page.
To start sending from your printer click on Alerts destinations.
Type the e-mail addresses the alerts must be sent to.
Select the type of alerts you want the printer to send.
This video does not cover the Firmware update or management of Substrate presets because
dedicated videos have been created for these features.
The Networking tab enables you to change the printer's network configuration.
Usually the printer automatically configures the LAN connection and you will not need to
change any of the settings to use the printer. If you need to change any LAN connection setting
you will find it in this section of the Embedded Web Server. You may find all the details about
the LAN settings in the printer's user manual. If you do not know how to change the LAN settings
contact your IT personnel. The Support tab offers various kinds of help
with your printer.
Using the "Trobleshooting", "browse information" and "HP links" pages you
can access the usage and troubleshooting documentation published by HP.
The "connectivity troubleshooting" page allows you to check the status of the printer
connections and to troubleshoot possible connectivity issues.
The information on the "service support" page is really important when you call your
reseller or HP to get support. The "Printer Information" shows current
and historical data on the usage of your printer. The most complete information is provided
in the "All pages" tab. Collecting the information might take a while.
