21 Maintaining Your Printer Periodically, your printer requires you to complete certain tasks to maintain optimum print quality. If several people are using the printer, you may want to designate a key operator to maintain your printer. Refer printing problems and maintenance tasks to this key operator. NOTE: The images used in this manual are those of the Dell™ C1760nw Color Printer unless otherwise mentioned. 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 IP address of your printer in your web browser to view this information. To use the E-Mail Alert feature that notifies you when the printer requires new supplies, type your name or the name of the key operator 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.

(32 images on the front and 32 on the back) Storing Print Media To avoid potential paper feeding problems and uneven print quality, you need to consider the following points: • 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. • If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carton, ensure that they rest on a flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl. • Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.
