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. 

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.  

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. 

You can launch the Dell Supplies Management System dialog box from the All Programs menu or the desktop icon. 
You can order consumables by phone or from the web. 

1   Click Start→ All Programs→ Dell Printers→ Additional Color Laser Software→ Dell Supplies Management 

System. 
The 

Dell Supplies Management System window appears. 

2  Select your printer from the Select Printer Model list. 
3  If you are ordering from the web: 

a  

Select a URL from the Select Reorder URL list. 

b  

Click Visit Dell printer supplies ordering web site. 

When you cannot get information from the printer automatically by two-way communication, a window prompting 

you to type the Service Tag appears. Type the Service Tag of your Dell printer in the field provided.  

Your Service Tag is located inside the front cover of your printer.  

4  If you order by phone, call the number that appears in the Order by Phone section. 

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.
