Maintaining Your Printer
Periodically, your printer requires you 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 yo ur 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 
We b  To o l  can provide instant feedback on re maining toner levels. Type the IP 
address of your printer in your web brow ser to view this information. To use 
the  E-Mail Alert Setup  feature that notifies you when the printer requires 
new supplies, type your name or the na me of the key operator in the e-mail 
list box.
On the operator panel, you ca n 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.

You can change several settings in your  printer driver to conserve toner 
cartridge and paper.

Storing Print Media
To avoid potential paper feeding problems and uneven print quality, you need 
to consider the following points:
• To achieve the best possible print quality, store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the 
relative humidity is 40%.
• Store cartons of print media on a pallet  or shelf, rather than directly on the 
floor.
• If you store individual packages of pr int media out of the original carton, 
ensure that they rest on a flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl.
• Do not place anything on top  of the print media packages.
Storing Consumables
Store consumables in their original pack aging until you need to use them. Do 
not store consumables in:
• Temperatures greater than 40°C (104°F).
• An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.
• Direct sunlight.
•Dusty places.
Print 
media Multiple Up

Layout  tab of the printer
