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 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 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 each toner cartridge.
Conserving Supplies
You can change several settings in your printer driver to conserve toner cartridge and paper.
Supply Setting Function
Toner cartridge Toner Saver in the Others tab This check box allows the users to select a print mode that uses less
toner. The image quality will be lower when this feature is used.
Print media Multiple Up in the Layout tab The printer prints two or more pages on one side of a sheet.
Print media Duplex in the General tab The printer prints on both sides of a sheet of paper.

using a networked printer. Type the IP address of your printer in your web browser, launch the Dell Printer
