Print Quality Problems Use the following information to find solutions for printing problems you encounter. If you cannot fix the problem, contact Dell at support.dell.com. You may have a printer part that requires cleaning or replacement by a service technician.
Page 76 Print is too light. The Toner Darkness setting is too light. You are using paper that does not meet the printer specifications. The toner cartridge is low on toner. The toner cartridge is defective. Try the following: Select a different Toner Darkness setting before sending the job to print.
Page 77 You are using transparencies that do not meet the printer specifications. The Paper Type setting is set to something other than Transparency. Try the following: Use only transparencies recommended by Dell. Ensure that the Paper Type setting is Transparency. Toner specks appear on the page.
Page 78 Toner is in the paper path. Try the following: Replace the toner cartridge. Replace the fuser Call for service. Toner rubs off the paper easily when you handle the sheets. The Paper Texture setting is wrong for the type of paper or specialty media you are using. The Paper Weight setting is wrong for the type of paper or specialty media you are using.
Page 79 Ensure that the Paper Size setting matches the paper loaded in the tray. Print is skewed (inappropriately slanted). The guides in the selected tray are not in the correct position for the paper size loaded in the tray. The multipurpose feeder guides are not in the correct position for the paper size loaded in the feeder. Try the following: Move the guides in the tray so they rest against the edges of the paper.
Page 80 Mac OS X Features Why do some applications not print multiple copies as expected? Some applications handle the printing of multiple copies differently. Some versions of Microsoft Word and Adobe Reader treat multiple copies of a job as a single copy job with multiple pages. The following features will not work as expected when printing multiple copies using these applications.
Page 81: Calling For Service
Why are there duplicates of some of the screen fonts? The fonts in your printer are not identical to the screen fonts provided by Apple. Dell provides screen fonts that match the printer fonts. Using these screen fonts allows you to make sure that the printed output will match what you see on the computer screen.
Page 82 Try turning your printer off and back on again. If your printer is still not operating properly, call for service. If you are able to print, press the Menu button to print a menu settings page, which lists the printer model type and other information the service representative may need to know.

Place a sheet of the selected print media, print side facing up, at the center of the multipurpose feeder, but only to the point where its leading edge can contact the paper guides.
Page 89 NOTE: Do not exceed the maximum stack height by forcing paper or specialty media under the stack height limiters which are located on the guides. 2. Adjust the paper guides to the print media's width. 3. Prepare the print media for loading. Flex sheets of paper or paper labels back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them.

4. Hold both sides of the print media close to the multipurpose feeder, and push it into the printer until it automatically engages. There is a brief pause between the time the printer engages the print media and when it feeds into the printer. NOTICE: Do not force the print media into the feeder.
Page 91: Linking Trays
Linking trays Tray linking is useful for large print jobs or multiple copies. When one linked tray is empty, paper feeds from the next linked tray. When the Paper Size and Paper Type settings are the same for any trays, the trays are automatically linked. The Paper Size setting is automatically sensed according to the position of the paper guides in each tray except the multipurpose feeder.
