Dell Ink Management System

Each time you print a job, a printing progress screen appears, which shows the progress of the print job as well as the amount of ink remaining and the approximate number of pages remaining in the cartridge. The page counter is hidden during the first 50 pages of cartridge use, until printing habits are learned and a more accurate count can be given. The number of pages remaining changes as a result of the type of print jobs the printer completes.

When your ink cartridge levels are low, a Low Ink Warning appears on your screen when you try to print. This warning is displayed every time you print until you install a new ink cartridge. For more information, see Replacing Ink Cartridges

When one or both of your ink cartridges are empty, the Reserve Tank window appears on your screen when you try to print. If you continue printing, the print job may not print as you expect.

If your black ink cartridge is out of ink, you can choose to print black from the color ink cartridge (Process Black) by selecting

Complete-A-Print before clicking the Continue Printing button. If you select Complete-A-Print and click Continue Printing, Process Black is used for all black printing until the black cartridge is replaced, or the option is cleared from More Options, located on the Advanced tab of the Printing Preferences.

About Your Printer

Understanding the Printer Parts Understanding the Operator Panel

You can use your printer to do a variety of things. A few important things to note:

If the printer is connected to a computer, you can use either the printer operator panel or the printer software to produce quality documents.

You do need to connect your printer to a computer to print, scan, or use the Save Photos to Computer function or the Office File mode.

You do not need to connect your printer to a computer to make photocopies, send faxes, or print from memory cards or a PictBridge-enabled camera.

NOTE: The printer (whether it is connected to a computer or not) must be connected to a telephone line before you can

send a fax.

NOTE: If you use a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) modem for your computer, you must install a DSL filter on the

telephone line attached to your computer. For information about DSL filters, contact your DSL Service Provider.
