Maintaining Your Printer439 25 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 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 We b To o l can provide instant feedback on remaining toner levels. Type the printers IP address in your web browser 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 name of the key operator in the e-mail list box. On the operator panel, you can 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 Conserving Supplies You can change several settings in your printer driver to conserve toner cartridge and paper.

Storing Consumables Store consumables in their original packaging 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. • A car for a long period of time.
