Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool

Have you ever sent a print job to the network printer down the hall, only to find it didn't
print because of a paper jam or an empty paper tray? One of the features of the Dell Printer
Configuration Web Tool is the Email Alert Setup, which sends you, or the key operator, an
email 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. Just 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
printer's settings to one or all printers on the network-right from your Web browser.
To launch the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool, just type your network printer's IP
address in your Web browser. You can also launch the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool
from the Network Status Monitor Center. For details, see page 85.
If you do not know what your printer's IP address is, print a network setup page, which lists
the IP address:
Press <Menu> until you see "Network Setup"on the bottom line of the display.

Press the scroll button ( or )until you see "Print Sys. Data" displays on the
2
bottom line.
Press <Select>. The first menu item, "Yes" displays on the bottom line.
3
Press <Select> to print a network configuration page.

If the IP address shows 0.0.0.0. (the factory default), an IP address has not been assigned. To
assign one for your printer, see "Configuring TCP/IP" on page 143.
