Checking the Status of Consumables
You can check the status of your installed printer consumables at any time.
From the Printer:
If you enabled the Low Toner Indicator (usually during setup of your printer) an LED symbol at the top
of the control panel indicates the status of the toner level in the print cartridge.
• When that symbol light is off, the print cartridge still has normal capacity.
• When that symbol is blinking orange, a small amount of toner is left in the cartridge. The cartridge
is close to its estimated limit of use. Check that a new Xerox replacement print cartridge is
available and order one if not. You may temporarily increase the printing quality by redistributing
toner; see Redistributing Toner.
• When that toner symbol is lit solid orange, it is time to replace the print cartridge. See Replacing
the Print Cartridge.
To Enable the Low Toner Indicator:
1. At your PC, open Easy Printer Manager from the Start menu.
2. Select the printer.
3. Click Properties. You will be taken to the CentreWare Internet Services page for the printer.
4. If prompted, enter the ID (admin) and Password (1111).
5. Select Properties > System > Setup.
6. Set the Low Toner Alert to On.
7. Enter a percentage for the Toner Low Alert Level from 1 - 50%.
8. Select the additional Alert features you wish to enable. E-mail Alert will send you an e-mail when
the printer is low on toner or needs a new print cartridge. See the Alerts information in the
Installation and Setup section of this Guide.
9. Select Apply. Users will now be alerted in several ways when the printer needs supplies attention.
Checking Supplies Status from Your PC
Use Easy Printer Manager to view a supplies status page:
1. At your PC, open Easy Printer Manager from the Start menu (in Windows).
2. Select the printer.
3. From the Basic mode page (the smaller window), you can see the toner supply level in the Supplies
tab. If you open EPM in the Advanced mode (large window) you will see Supplies Information just
below the device picture.
Note: Use the Switch icon in the EPM header to move between Basic and Advanced modes.
Use CentreWare Information Services (CWIS) to check supplies status.
Note: You must have the printer connected to the network to access CWIS. It will not be available
via a USB connection.

2. If prompted from the CentreWare page, enter the ID (admin) and Password (1111).
