Maintaining Your Printer
Determining the Status of Supplies
Periodically, your printer requires you to complete certain tasks to maintain optimum print quality. If several people are
using the printer, you may want to designate a key operator to maintain your printer. Refer printing problems and
maintenance tasks to this key operator.
Determining the Status of Supplies
If your printer is connected to the network, the Dell™ Printer Configuration Web Tool can provide instant feedback on
remaining toner levels. Type the printer's IP address in your Web browser to view this information. To use the E-Mail
Alert Setup feature that notifies you when the printer requires new supplies, type your name or the name of the key
operator in the e-mail list box.
On the operator panel, you can also confirm the following:
Any supply or maintenance items that require attention replacing (However, the printer can only display
information about one item at a time.)
Amount of toner remaining in each print cartridge
