Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool
NOTE: This application is not available when the printer is connected locally to a computer.
Have you ever sent a print job to the network printer down the hall, only to find it didnt print because of a
paper jam or an empty paper tray? One of the features of the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool is the E-
mail Alert Setup, which sends you, or the key operator, an e-mail 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. 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 printers settings to one or all
printers on the network-right from your Web browser.
To launch the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool, type your network printers IP address in your Web
browser.
If you do not know what your printers IP address is, print a network setup page, which lists the IP address.
To print a network setup page, press the  Menu button
