Maintaining Your Printer
You need to complete certain tasks to maintain optimum print quality.
NOTE: The images used and procedures described in this manual are those of
Dell™ 2150cn Color Printer.
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 E-
Mail Alert Setup feature that notifies you when the printer requires new
supplies, type the desired e-mail address in the e-mail list box.
On the operator panel, you can also confirm the following:
• Any supply or maintenance items that require attention replacing (However,
the printer can only display information about one item at a time).
• Amount of toner remaining in each toner cartridge.
Conserving Supplies
You can change several settings in your printer driver to conserve toner cartridge
and paper.

Toner Saving Mode in
the Advanced tab
This check box allows the users to select a print
mode that uses less toner. The image quality will
