7.5 Checking the Printer Status via E-mail
If your printer is networked and set up for e-mail and TCP/IP communication, you can 
perform the following. 
This feature is called “StatusMessenger”.
• If you send the printer an e-mail asking for the its status, the printer sends you the 
information by e-mail. 
• The printer can send e-mail notification of errors (paper jams, consumable status, etc.) to 
the specified e-mail addresses. The recipients can periodically track the status of the 
toner cartridges and drum cartridge and can be aware of exactly when to replace them. 
The recipient of this notification should be your network administrator or an shared e-mail 
address.
