Maintaining Your Printer

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 toner cartridge

Conserving Supplies

You can change several settings in your printer driver to conserve toner cartridge and paper.

	printer driver	feature is used, the image quality will be lower
		than when it is not used.
