Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool

Using the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool

One of the features of the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool is the E-Mail Alert Setup, which sends you

If you fill out printer inventory reports requiring the asset tag number of all of the printers in your area, use
the Printer Information feature in the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool. 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.

If you do not know what your printer's IP address is, print a Printer Settings page, which lists the IP address:

Press Menu.1.

Press until Report/List appears, and then press or .2.

Printer Setting is displayed. Press .3.

Installing the Toner Cartridges and Imaging Drum

Installing the Toner Cartridge
Installing the Imaging Drum

CAUTION: Before performing any of the following procedures, read and follow the safety

instructions in your Owner's Manual.

Installing the Toner Cartridge

Remove the top cover.1.

Pull the toner seal for each toner cartridge straight up to remove it.2.

NOTICE: Pull the toner seal straight up. Pulling the toner seal diagonally may tear the seal.

Replace the top cover by inserting its front side into the printer first.3.

Installing the Imaging Drum

CAUTION: Make sure nothing touches or scratches the surface of the light-sensitive drum

surface (green-colored roller) or the transfer roller (black-colored roller). Scratches, dirt,
or oil from your hands on the imaging drum or transfer roller may reduce the print quality.

Push the front latch up and fully open the front cover.1.

Push the button as shown in the following illustration and open the top cover.2.

Remove the protective cover from the imaging drum.3.

Holding the imaging drum by the handle with the flat part facing the back of the printer, align the
plastic guides on both sides of the imaging drum with the slots in front of the arrows on the printer.
Gently lower the imaging drum into the printer.

4.

NOTICE: Lowering the cartridge into the printer without correctly aligning the rollers with the slots

can damage the cartridge.

NOTICE: Do not allow the surface covered with a protective sheet to come into contact with

anything.

Pull the protective cover on the imaging drum straight up to remove it.5.

NOTICE: Do not touch the transfer roller (black-colored roller). Make sure that nothing touches or

scratches the roller surface. Scratches or oil from your hands on the roller deteriorates print quality.

Connecting the Printer Locally

A local printer is a printer attached to your computer using a USB or parallel cable. If your printer is attached
to a network instead of your computer, skip this step and go on to "Connecting the Printer to the Network."

Microsoft® Windows® 2000, XP, Server 2003, XP x64, Server 2003 x64, Vista and Mac® OS X or later
operating systems support USB connections. Some UNIX® and Linux® computers also support USB
connections. See your computer operating system documentation to see if your system supports USB.

To attach the printer to a computer:

Make sure the printer, computer, and any other attached devices are turned off and unplugged.1.
Connect the printer to the computer using a USB or parallel cable.2.

1

USB port

2

Parallel port

A USB/parallel port requires a USB/parallel cable. Be sure to match the USB/parallel symbol on the cable to
the USB/parallel symbol on the printer.

Plug the other end of the cable into a USB or parallel port on the back of the computer. For a USB cable, do
not plug it into the USB keyboard.

Turn On the Printer

Plug one end of the printer power cable into the socket at the back of the printer and the other end
into a properly grounded outlet.

1.

Turn on the computer and the printer.2.

Connecting the Printer to the Network

To attach the printer to a network:

Make sure the printer, computer, and any other attached devices are turned off and unplugged.1.
Plug one end of a standard category 5 cable into a LAN drop or hub, and the other end into the

Ethernet port on the back of the printer. The printer automatically adjusts for the network speed.

2.

3

Ethernet port

To turn on the printer, see "Turn On the Printer".

Print and Check the Printer Settings Page

that helps you configure for network printing.

Press Menu.1.

Press until Report/List appears, and then press or .2.

Printer Setting is displayed. Press .3.

The Printer Settings page is printed.

If the IP address shows anything other than 0.0.0.0 (the factory default) or 169.254.xx.xx, the printer
has an IP address assigned and stored. Go to "Verify the IP Settings."

4.

Assign an IP Address

NOTE: When you assign an IP address manually in IPv6 Mode, use the Dell Printer Configuration

Web Tool. To open the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool, use the link local address. (To check

a link local address, see "Print and Check the Printer Settings Page".)

An IP address is a unique number that consists of four sections that are delimited by a period and can
include up to three digits in each section, for example, 111.222.33.44.

Assigning an IP address already in use can cause network performance issues.

NOTE: Assigning an IP address is considered as an advanced function and is normally done by a

system administrator.

For more information on using your operator panel, see "Operator Panel."

Repeat steps 10 to 11 to set Gateway Address, and then press .18.
Turn off the printer, and then turn it on again.19.

The IP address is assigned to your printer. To verify the setting, open the web browser on any computer
connected to the network and enter the IP address into the address bar on the browser. If the IP address is
set up correctly, the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool displays in your browser.

You can also assign the IP address to the printer when installing the printer drivers with installer. When you
use the Network Installation feature, and the Get IP Address is set to AutoIP on the operator panel menu,
you can set the IP address from 0.0.0.0 to the desired IP address on the printer selection window.

Verify the IP Settings

Print another Printer Settings page.1.
Look under the TCP/IP heading on the Printer Settings page to make sure the IP address, netmask,

and gateway are what you expected.

2.

or

Ping the printer and verify that it responds. For example, at a command prompt on a network
computer, type ping followed by the new printer IP address (for example, 192.168.0.11):

ping 192.168.0.11
If the printer is active on the network, you will receive a reply.
