Maintaining your printer

Periodically you need to complete certain tasks to maintain optimum print quality. If several people are using
the printer, you may want to designate a key operator to maintain your printer. Refer printing problems and
maintenance tasks to this key operator.

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 IP address in your Web browser to view this
information. To use the email alert setup feature that notifies you whenever the printer needs supplies, type
your name or the name of the key operator in the email list box.

The printer operator panel also alerts you to any supply or maintenance items that need replacing. However,
the printer can only display information about one item at a time.

You can also print the menu settings page from the Utilities Menu to see the percentage of life remaining for
each of the items is indicated. (Press Menu until you see Utilities Menu, and then press Select. Press
Menu until you see Print Menus, and then press Select to print the menu settings page.) Look for
"Cartridge Information".
