Use the Driver Profiler to create driver profiles that contain custom driver settings. A driver profile can contain a group of saved printer driver settings and other data for things such as:

•Print orientation and N-Up (document settings)

•Installation status of an output tray (printer options)

•User-defined paper sizes (custom papers)

•Simple text and watermarks

•Overlay references

•Font references

•Form associations

Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool

The Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool, also known as the Printer Embedded Web Server, lets you monitor the status of your network printer without leaving your desk. You can view and/or change the printer configuration settings, monitor toner level, and when it is time to order toner replacement cartridges, just click the Dell supplies link right from your Web browser.

To launch the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool, type the network printer IP address in your Web browser, and the printer configuration appears on the screen.

Connecting the printer to the network

Use the table below for instructions on connecting your Dell S2500n printer to the network.
