    Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool
    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  and  release  the Continue button 
    .
    Use  the Dell Printer  Configuration  Web Tool  for:

    firmware.
