Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool
Have you ever sent a print job to the network printer down the hall, only to find it didn't print because of a paper jam or an
empty paper tray? One of the features of the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool is the E-mail Alert Setup, which sends you,
or the key operator, an e-mail when the printer needs supplies or intervention.
If you fill out printer inventory reports requiring the asset tag number of all of the printers in your area, the Dell Printer
Configuration Web Tool has a Printer Information feature that makes it easy. Type the IP address of each printer on the
network to display the asset tag number.
The Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool feature also lets you change printer settings and keep track of printing trends. If you
are a network administrator, you can easily copy the printer's settings to one or all printers on the network—right from your
Web browser.
To launch the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool, type your network printer's IP address in your Web browser.
If you do not know what your printer's IP address is, print a network setup page, which lists the IP address.
To print a network setup page, press the Menu button
.

Use the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool for:
Printer Status—Get immediate feedback on printer supply status. When toner is running low, click the toner supplies
link on the first screen to order additional toner cartridges.
Printer Settings—Change printer settings, view the operator panel remotely, and update the print server firmware.
Copy Printer Settings—Quickly clone the printer's settings to another printer or printers on the network by typing
each printer's IP address.
NOTE: You must be a network administrator to use this feature.
Printing Statistics—Keep track of printing trends, such as paper usage and types of jobs being printed.
Printer Information—Get the information you need for service calls, inventory reports, or the status of current
memory and engine code levels.
E-mail Alert Setup—Receive an e-mail when the printer needs supplies or intervention. Type your name or the key
operator's name in the e-mail list box to be notified.
Set Password—Lock the operator panel with a password so that other users don't inadvertently change the printer
settings you selected. For more information, see Locking the Operator Panel Menus Using the Embedded Web Server
.

NOTE: This application is not available when the printer is connected locally to a computer.
