Notes:

View the printer IP address in the TCP/IP section in the Network/Ports menu. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.

If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.

Configuring supply notifications from the Embedded Web Server

You can determine how you would like to be notified when supplies run nearly low, low, very low, or reach their endoflife by setting the selectable alerts.

Notes:

Selectable alerts can be set on the toner cartridge, imaging unit, and maintenance kit.

All selectable alerts can be set for nearly low, low, and very low supply conditions. Not all selectable alerts can be set for the endoflife supply condition. Email selectable alert is available for all supply conditions.

The percentage of estimated remaining supply that prompts the alert can be set on some supplies for some supply conditions.

1Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.

Notes:
