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™ C1765nfw Color Multifunction 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 printer's IP address 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
Conserving Supplies
You can change several settings in your printer driver to conserve toner cartridge and paper.
Supply
Setting
Function
Toner cartridge
Toner Saving Mode
in the
Graphics
tab of the printer driver
This check box allows the users to select a print mode that uses less
toner. When this feature is used, the image quality will be lower
than when it is not used.
Print media
Multiple Up
in the
Layout
tab of
the printer driver
The printer prints two or more pages on one side of a sheet. The
available numbers that each printer driver can print one sheet of
paper are as follows:
• Printer driver for Microsoft
®
Windows
®
: 2, 4, 8, or 16 pages
• Printer driver for Macintosh: 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages
Combined with the duplex setting,
Multiple Up
allows you to
print up to 32 pages on one sheet of paper. (16 images on the front
and 16 on the back)
Storing Print Media
To avoid potential paper feeding problems and uneven print quality, there are several things you can do.
•
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.
