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 Too l 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.

This check box allows the users to select a
