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.

User Setup Disk Creating Tool

The User Setup Disk Creating Tool program located in the MakeDisk folder of the Utilities folder on the Drivers and Utilities CD and the printer drivers located
on the Drivers and Utilities CD 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)
l
 Watermarks
l
 Font references
l
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.
 Install the Dell™ 2135cn Color Laser Multifunction Printer printer driver in the computer on which the setup disk is to be created.
l
 The setup disk can only be used on the operating system on which the disk was created or computers running the same operating system. Create a
l
separate setup disk for each of the operating systems.
 

Software Update

The firmware and/or driver updates can be downloaded from the Dell Support website located at support.dell.com.
