•
Print a network setup page or the menu settings pages and locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section.
2
Click Device Status.
The device status shows the following:
•
Paper tray settings
•
Level of toner in the print cartridge
•
Percentage of life remaining in the maintenance kit
•
Capacity measurements of certain printer parts

Checking the virtual display

1
Open an Embedded Web Server associated with your printer.
Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser.
If you do not know the IP address of the printer, you can:
•
View the IP address on the printer control panel in the TCP/IP section under the Networks/Ports menu.
•
Print a network setup page or the menu settings pages and locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section.
