Toolbox
The Toolbox provides status and maintenance information about the printer. It also provides
links to the onscreen user's guide for help in performing basic printing tasks and solving
problems.
NOTE:
The Toolbox is available for Windows computers only.
If the Toolbox was not installed with the other printer software components, you can install it
using the installation program on the Starter CD.
To monitor a printer on a shared port (for example, \\portname\printername) from a client
machine, the Toolbox must be running on the server machine as well as on the client machine.

From the Start
menu at your computer, point to Programs
.

Point to the printer name, and then click the Toolbox
icon.
