Device Web Server
The Device Web Server (DWS) manages and controls embedded applications on web-based multi-function printers (MFPs) and single-function printers (SFPs).
The DWS supports client interactions with the printers. When a user accesses the Unified Client for Toshiba application on a web-based device, the printer sends the request to the DWS. The request is processed by AutoStore and is sent back to printer.
- If you have Equitrac installed on your system, DWS might currently be installed as an optional component. If you are deploying the Unified Client for Toshiba in an AutoStore and Device Registration Service (DRS) environment without Equitrac, you can install a standalone DWS.
- If DWS was installed as part of Equitrac, do not install the standalone DWS.
- It is recommended that you install the standalone Device Web Server (DWS) on a different server than AutoStore.
