How to check the toner level
Learning how to use your computer or printer can be confusing for most people, but if you are having trouble checking the toner level, try these simple steps. After being guided through this process, you should be able to view your toner level, but some computers, such as Mac’s, don’t work the same way. If you still cannot figure out how to check the toner level on your computer, visit wikihow.com for more information.
To begin, click on the start menu located at the bottom left hand corner of your screen. You will be shown a list of folders to open, where you should click on “control panel” in the list of options. Once the control panel screen is open, locate and click on the icon marked “Printers and Faxes”. Select and right click on the name of the printer you wish to check the toner levels on. There may only be one printer, but in the case that you have several connected to your computer, make sure you are checking the correct one.
After right clicking on the appropriate printer, you will be presented with a drop down menu with a list of options. Choose the option labeled “Printer Preferences”, and you should see a new screen pop up. On the right hand side of the new window, select the tab that says “Services”. Click on this tab to view the services of your printer.
In the services tab, you will see a button marked “Services this Device”. After clicking on that button, a new window should pop up with three different tabs: “Device Services”, “Configuration”, and “Estimated Ink Level”. Click on the tab labeled “Estimated Ink Level”. You will now be able to view how much estimated toner is in your printer, and it won’t be difficult to find when you need it again.
