Maintaining Your Printer
You need to complete certain tasks to maintain optimum print quality.
Determining the Status of Supplies
If your printer is connected to the network, the Dell™ Printer Configuration Web Tool can provide instant feedback
on the remaining toner level. 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 the desired e-mail address
in the e-mail list box.
On the LCD panel screen, 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 the toner cartridge.
Conserving Supplies
You can change several settings in your printer driver to conserve the toner cartridge and paper.
Ordering Supplies
You can order consumables (toner cartridge and drum cartridge) from Dell on the Internet when using a networked
printer. Type the IP address of your printer in your web browser, launch the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool,
and click the Order Supplies at: to order consumables for your printer.
You can also order consumables by the following method.
