Determining the status of supplies
The printer operator panel alerts you once a supply item or maintenance is required. You can also
view the status of supplies in your printer on the operator panel unless the printer is printing or in a
busy state. The header or gray area at the top of the display will indicate the printer is
Ready
and lets
you know if any trays are low. Selecting
Status / Supplies
on the display will open the
Status /
Supplies
screen where you can view the status of the various trays and open the supplies screen to
view the current status of your toner cartridge.
Conserving supplies
Several settings in your application software or on the display let you conserve toner and paper. For
more information on changing these settings, refer to the Menus and Messages Guide.
