Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool
Have you ever sent a print job to the network printer down the hall, only to find it didn't print because of a
paper jam or an empty paper tray? One of the features of the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool is the
Email Alert Setup, which sends you, or the key operator, an email when the printer needs supplies or
intervention.
If you fill out printer inventory reports requiring the asset tag number of all of the printers in your area, the
Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool has a Printer Information feature that makes it easy. Just type the IP
address of each printer on the network to display the asset tag number.
The Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool feature also lets you change printer settings and keep track of
printing trends. If you are a network administrator, you can easily copy the printer's settings to one or all
printers on the network – right from your Web browser.
To launch the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool, just type your network printer's IP address in your Web
browser.
If you do not know what your printer's IP address is, print a network setup page, which lists the IP address:
Press Menu until you see Utilities Menu, and then press Select. 1.
Press Menu until you see Print Net Setup, and then press Select to print a network setup page. 2.
If the IP address shows 0.0.0.0. (the factory default), an IP address has not been assigned. To assign one for
your printer, see
Assign an IP address .
Use the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool for:
Printer status
Get immediate feedback on printer supply status. When toner is running low, click the toner supplies link on
the first screen to order additional toner cartridges.
Printer settings
Change printer settings, view the operator panel remotely, and update the print server firmware.
Copy printer settings
Quickly clone the printer's settings to another printer or printers on the network just by typing each printer's
IP address.
