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's IP address in your web browser to view this information. To use the EMail Alert Setup feature that notifies you when the printer requires new supplies, type the desired e-mail address in the e-mail list box.
Storing Print Media To avoid potential paper feeding problems and uneven print quality, there are several things you can do: • 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.
