Smart Panel Program That Monitors the Status of the Printer

Smart Panel is a program that monitors and informs you of the status of the printer and gives you the opportunity to adjust the printer’s settings. SmartPanel is installed automatically when you install the printer software.

The SmartPanel program displays the current status of the printer, the level of remaining toner in the toner cartridge(s), and various other information. You can also change settings.

Use Smart Panel

To use this program you need:

• Windows . Check whether the Windows operating system(s) are compatible with your printer, see the printer specifications in the printer user manual.
• Mac OS X 10.3 or later
• Linux. Check which Linux systems are compatible with your printer, see printer specifications in your printer’s user manual.
• Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later.

Understanding the Smart Panel

If an error occurs during printing, the smart panel will automatically appear and display the error. You can also start SmartPanel manually. Double-click the Smart Panel icon in the Windows taskbar (in Windows) or in the notification area (in Linux). You can also click it in the status bar (in Mac OS X).

Toner Level

You can view the remaining toner level in the toner cartridge(s). The printer and the number of toner cartridge(s) displayed in the above window may differ depending on the printer you are using. Not all printers have this feature.
