Understanding Your Printer Software
Use the
Software and Documentation
disc that shipped with your printer to install a combination of software
programs, depending on your operating system.
Printer Status Window
The
Printer Status
window alerts you when there is a warning or when an error occurs, for example, when a paper
jam occurs or toner is running low.
By default, the
Printer Status
window launches only when an error occurs. When an error occurs, the error message
appears on the
Printer Status
window. You can set the
Printer Status
window
to always launch when printing in
Printing Status Window Properties
.
You can also check toner level, quantity of paper remaining or the configuration of options for the printer.
Status Monitor Console
Use the
Status Monitor Console
to manage multiple instances of the
Status Window
for a particular printer.
Select a printer from the list view (or
Printer Selection
) by clicking its name to open a
Status Window
for a
particular printer.

Dell Supplies Management System
dialog box from the
All Programs

User Setup Disk Creating Tool
The
User Setup Disk Creating Tool
program located in the
MakeDisk
folder of the
Utilities
folder on the
Software
and Documentation
disc and the printer drivers located on the
Software and Documentation
disc are used to create
driver installation packages that contain custom driver settings. A driver installation package can contain a group of
saved printer driver settings and other data for things such as:
• Print orientation and Multiple Up (document settings)
• Watermarks
• Font references
If you want to install the printer driver with the same settings on multiple computers running the same operating
system, create a setup disk in a floppy disk or in a server on the network. Using the setup disk that you have created
will reduce the amount of work required when installing the printer driver.
