Understanding Your Printer Software

Use the

Software and Documentation

disc that shipped with your printer to install a combination of software

programs, depending on your operating system.

Printer Status Window

The Printer Status window alerts you when there is a warning or when an error occurs, for example, when a paper

jam occurs or toner is running low.
By default, the Printer Status window launches only when an error occurs. When an error occurs, the error message

appears on the Printer Status window. You can set the Printer Status window to always launch when printing in

Printing Status Window Properties.
You can also check toner level, quantity of paper remaining or the configuration of options for the printer.

Status Monitor Console

Use the Status Monitor Console to manage multiple instances of the Status Window for a particular printer.
Select a printer from the list view (or Printer Selection) by clicking its name to open a Status Window for a

particular printer.

Dell™ Supplies Management System

You can launch the Dell Supplies Management System dialog box from the All Programs menu or the desktop icon.
You can order consumables by phone or from the web.

Your Service Tag is located inside the front cover of your printer.

User Setup Disk Creating Tool

The User Setup Disk Creating Tool program located in the MakeDisk folder of the Utilities folder on the

Software

and Documentation

disc and the printer drivers located on the

Software and Documentation

disc are used to create

driver installation packages that contain custom driver settings. A driver installation package can contain a group of

saved printer driver settings and other data for things such as:

• Print orientation and Multiple Up (document settings)
• Watermarks
• Font references

If you want to install the printer driver with the same settings on multiple computers running the same operating

system, create a setup disk in a floppy disk or in a server on the network. Using the setup disk that you have created

will reduce the amount of work required when installing the printer driver.
