Technical Assistance
If you need help with a technical problem, Dell is ready to assist you.
1Call technical support from a telephone near or at the printer so that technical
support can assist you with any necessary procedures. When calling Dell, use your
Express Service Code to help expedite the routing of your call to the proper support
personnel.
The Express Service Code is located on the back panel of the printer near the serial
number for the printer.
NOTE: Dell's Express Service Code system may not be available in all countries.
2In the U.S., Business customers should call 1-877-459-7298, and Consumer (Home
and Home Office) customers should call 1-800-624-9896.
If you are calling from a different country or are in a different Service area, see
"Contacting Dell" on page 63 for your local telephone number.
3Follow the menu prompts in the automated telephone system to speak with a
technical support representative.

• Problems that result from:
– External causes such as accident, abuse, misuse, or problems with electrical power

EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES FOR THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE
LIMITED IN TIME TO THE TERM OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD
REFLECTED ON YOUR PACKING SLIP OR INVOICE. NO WARRANTIES,
WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WILL APPLY AFTER THE LIMITED
WARRANTY PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW
LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THIS
LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
WE DO NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY BEYOND THE REMEDIES PROVIDED FOR
IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL
DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LIABILITY FOR
THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES, FOR PRODUCTS NOT
BEING AVAILABLE FOR USE, OR FOR LOST DATA OR LOST SOFTWARE. OUR

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION
OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
How long does this limited warranty last?
This limited warranty lasts for the time period indicated on your packing slip or invoice,
except for the following Dell-branded hardware:
• Portable computer batteries carry a 1-year limited warranty.
• Projector lamps carry a 90-day limited warranty.
• Memory carries a lifetime limited warranty.
• Monitors carry the longer of either a 3-year limited warranty or the remainder of the
warranty for the Dell computer to which the monitor will be connected.
84 Appendix

parts and a 90-day limited warranty for reconditioned parts or, for both new and
reconditioned parts, the reminder of the warranty for the Dell computer on which
such parts are installed.
The limited warranty on all Dell-branded products begins on the date of the packing slip or
invoice. The warranty period is not extended if we repair or replace a warranted product or
any parts. Dell may change the availability of limited warranties, at its discretion, but any
changes will not be retroactive.

Appendix 85
When you contact us, we will issue a Return Material Authorization Number for you to
include with your return. You must return the products to us in their original or equivalent
packaging, prepay shipping charges, and insure the shipment or accept the risk if the
product is lost or damaged in shipment. We will return the repaired or replacement
products to you. We will pay to ship the repaired or replaced products to you if you use an
address in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories).
Otherwise, we will ship the product to you freight collect.
If we determine that the product is not covered under this warranty, we will notify you and
inform you of service alternatives that are available to you on a fee basis.
NOTE: Before you ship the product(s) to us, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and
any other storage device(s) in the product(s). Remove any confidential, proprietary, or personal
information and removable media such as floppy disks, CDs, or PC Cards. We are not responsible for
any of your confidential, proprietary, or personal information; lost or corrupted data; or damaged or
lost removable media.
During the remaining years: For the remaining period of the limited warranty, we will
replace any defective part with new or refurbished parts, if we agree that it needs to be
replaced. When you contact us, we will require a valid credit card number at the time you
request a replacement part, but we will not charge you for the replacement part as long as
you return the original part to us within 30 days after we ship the replacement part to you. If
we do not receive the original part within 30 days, we will charge to your credit card the
then-current standard price for that part.
We will pay to ship the part to you if you use an address in the United States (excluding
Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the part freight
collect. We will also include a prepaid shipping container with each replacement part for
your use in returning the replaced part to us.
NOTE: Before you replace parts, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and any other
storage device(s) in the product(s). We are not responsible for lost or corrupted data.
What if I purchased a service contract?
If your service contract is with Dell, service will be provided to you under the terms of the
service agreement. Please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain service.
If you purchased through us a service contract with one of our third-party service providers,
please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain service.
86 Appendix
www.dell.com/supplies | support.dell.com
How will you fix my product?
We use new and refurbished parts made by various manufacturers in performing warranty
repairs and in building replacement parts and systems. Refurbished parts and systems are
parts or systems that have been returned to Dell, some of which were never used by a
customer. All parts and systems are inspected and tested for quality. Replacement parts and
systems are covered for the remaining period of the limited warranty for the product you
bought. Dell owns all parts removed from repaired products.
May I transfer the limited warranty?
Limited warranties on systems may be transferred if the current owner transfers ownership
of the system and records the transfer with us. The limited warranty on Dell-branded
memory may not be transferred. You may record your transfer by going to Dell's website:
• If you are an Individual Home Consumer, go to
www.dell.com/us/en/dhs/topics/sbtopic_015_ccare.htm

return to Dell products that you purchased directly from Dell for a credit or a refund of the
purchase price paid, less shipping and handling and applicable return fees as follows:

"Total Satisfaction" Return Policy (Canada Only)
If you are an end-user customer who bought new products directly from Dell, you may
return them to Dell up to 30 days after you receive them for a refund or credit of the
product purchase price. If you are an end-user customer who bought reconditioned or
refurbished products from Dell, you may return them to Dell within 14 days after the date
on the packing slip or invoice for a refund or credit of the product purchase price. In either
case, the refund or credit will not include any shipping and handling charges shown on your
packing slip or invoice and will be subject to a fifteen percent (15%) restocking fee, unless
otherwise prohibited by law. If you are an organization that bought the products under a
written agreement with Dell, the agreement may contain different terms for the return of
products than specified by this policy.
To return products, you must call Dell Customer Service at 1-800-847-4096 to receive a
Credit Return Authorization Number. To expedite the process of your refund or credit,
Dell expects you to return the products to Dell in their original packaging within 5 days of
the date that Dell issues the Credit Return Authorization Number. You must also prepay
shipping charges and insure the shipment or accept the risk of loss or damage during
shipment. You may return software for a refund or credit only if the sealed package
containing the floppy disk(s) or CD(s) is unopened. Returned products must be in as-new
condition, and all of the manuals, floppy disk(s), CD(s), power cables, and other items
included with a product must be returned with it. For customers who want to return, for
refund or credit only, either application or operating system software that has been installed
by Dell, the whole system must be returned, along with any media and documentation that
may have been included in the original shipment.
Appendix 93
The "Total Satisfaction" Return Policy does not apply to Dell | EMC storage products. It
also does not apply to products purchased through Dell's Software and Peripherals division.
For those products, please instead refer to Dell's Software and Peripheral's then-current
return policy (see the following section, "Dell Software and Peripherals [Canada Only]").
Dell Software and Peripherals (Canada Only)
Third-Party Software and Peripherals Products
Similar to other resellers of software and peripherals, Dell does not warrant third-party
products. Third-party software and peripheral products are covered by the warranties
provided by the original manufacturer or publisher only. Third-party manufacturer
warranties vary from product to product. Consult your product documentation for specific
warranty information. More information may also be available from the manufacturer or
publisher.
While Dell offers a wide selection of software and peripheral products, we do not
specifically test or guarantee that all of the products we offer work with any or all of the
various models of Dell computers, nor do we test or guarantee all of the products we sell on
the hundreds of different brands of computers available today. If you have questions about
compatibility, we recommend and encourage you to contact the third-party software and
peripheral product manufacturer or publisher directly.
Dell-Branded Peripheral Products
Dell does provide a limited warranty for new Dell-branded peripheral products (products
for which Dell is listed as the manufacturer) such as monitors, batteries, memory, docking
stations, and projectors. To determine which limited warranty applies to the product you
purchased, see the Dell packing slip or invoice and/or the product documentation that
accompanied your product. Descriptions of Dell's limited warranties are described in
preceding sections.
Return Policy
If you are an end-user customer who bought Dell Software and Peripherals products directly
from a Dell company, you may return Dell Software and Peripherals products that are in
as-new condition to Dell up to 30 days from the date on the packing slip or invoice for a
refund of the product purchase price if already paid. This refund will not include any
shipping and handling charges shown on your packing slip or invoice; you are responsible for
those.
94 Appendix
www.dell.com/supplies | support.dell.com
To return products, you must call Dell Customer Service at 1-800-387-5759 to receive a
Credit Return Authorization Number. You must ship the Dell Software and Peripherals
products back to Dell in their original manufacturer's packaging (which must be in as-new
condition), prepay shipping charges, and insure the shipment or accept the risk of loss or
damage during shipment.
To qualify for refund or replacement, returned products must be in as-new condition,
software products must be unopened, and all of the manuals, floppy disk(s), CD(s), power
cables, and other items included with a product must be returned with it.
1-Year End-User Manufacturer Guarantee (Latin America and the Caribbean
Only)
Guarantee
Dell Computer Corporation ("Dell") warrants to the end user in accordance with the
following provisions that its branded hardware products, purchased by the end user from a
Dell company or an authorized Dell distributor in Latin America or the Caribbean, will be
free from defects in materials, workmanship, and design affecting normal use, for a period
of 1 year from the original purchase date. Products for which proper claims are made will, at
Dell’s option, be repaired or replaced at Dell’s expense. Dell owns all parts removed from
repaired products. Dell uses new and reconditioned parts made by various manufacturers in
performing repairs and building replacement products.
Exclusions
This Guarantee does not apply to defects resulting from: improper or inadequate
installation, use, or maintenance; actions or modifications by unauthorized third parties or
the end user; accidental or willful damage; or normal wear and tear.
Appendix 95
Making a Claim
Claims must be made in Latin America or the Caribbean by contacting the Dell point of
sale within the guarantee period. The end user must always supply proof of purchase,
indicating name and address of the seller, date of purchase, model and serial number, name
and address of the customer, and details of symptoms and configuration at the time of
malfunction, including peripherals and software used. Otherwise, Dell may refuse the
guarantee claim. Upon diagnosis of a warranted defect, Dell will make arrangements and
pay for ground freight and insurance to and from Dell’s repair/replacement center. The end
user must ensure that the defective product is available for collection properly packed in
original or equally protective packaging together with the details listed above and the return
number provided to the end user by Dell.
Limitation and Statutory Rights
Dell makes no other warranty, guarantee or like statement other than as explicitly stated
above, and this Guarantee is given in place of all other guarantees whatsoever, to the fullest
extent permitted by law. In the absence of applicable legislation, this Guarantee will be the
end user’s sole and exclusive remedy against Dell or any of its affiliates, and neither Dell nor
any of its affiliates shall be liable for loss of profit or contracts, or any other indirect or
consequential loss arising from negligence, breach of contract, or howsoever.
This Guarantee does not impair or affect mandatory statutory rights of the end user
against and/or any rights resulting from other contracts concluded by the end user with
Dell and/or any other seller.

Dell Inc. Ink and Toner Cartridges Limited
Warranties
The following sections describe the limited warranty for ink and toner cartridges for the U.S., Canada, and Latin
America. Refer to the appropriate limited warranty accordingly.
Ink and Toner Cartridges Limited Warranty (U.S. and Canada Only)
Dell Inc. warrants to the original purchaser of genuine Dell-branded toner cartridges that they will be free from
defects in material and workmanship for the life of the cartridge and that for genuine Dell-branded ink cartridges
they will be free from defects in material and workmanship for two years beginning on the date of invoice. If this
product proves defective in either material or workmanship, it will be replaced without charge during the limited
warranty period if returned to Dell. You must first call our toll-free number to get your return authorization. In the
U.S., call 1-800-822-8965; in Canada, call 1-800-387-5757. If we are not able to replace the product because it has
been discontinued or is not available, we will either replace it with a comparable product or reimburse you for the
cartridge purchase cost, at Dell’s sole option. This limited warranty does not apply to ink or toner cartridges that
have been refilled or improperly stored or due to problems resulting from misuse, abuse, accident, neglect,
mishandling, incorrect environments, or wear from ordinary use.
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS
WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE (OR JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION). DELL’S
RESPONSIBILITY FOR MALFUNCTIONS AND DEFECTS IN HARDWARE IS LIMITED TO
REPLACEMENT AS SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT. FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS,
EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT, DELL
DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR
OTHERWISE, FOR THE PRODUCT. FOR U.S. CUSTOMERS, ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED
WARRANTIES FOR THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES
AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE
LIMITED IN TIME TO THE TERM OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. NO WARRANTIES, WHETHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WILL APPLY AFTER THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. SOME
STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, OR LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY OR
CONDITION LASTS, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY COVERAGE
TERMINATES IF YOU SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS PRODUCT TO ANOTHER PARTY.
DELL DOES NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY BEYOND THE REMEDIES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY OR FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LIABILITY FOR THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU
FOR DAMAGES, FOR PRODUCTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE FOR USE, OR FOR LOST DATA OR LOST
SOFTWARE. DELL’S LIABILITY WILL BE NO MORE THAN THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE
PRODUCT THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF A CLAIM. THIS IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT FOR WHICH
DELL IS RESPONSIBLE.
SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF SPECIAL,
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR
EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Ink and Toner Cartridges Limited Warranty (Latin America Only)
Dell Inc. warrants to the original purchaser of genuine Dell-branded toner cartridges that the cartridges will be free
from defects resulting from material or manufacturing process for the life of the cartridge. For the original
purchaser of genuine Dell-branded ink cartridges, Dell warrants that the cartridges will be free from defects
resulting from material or manufacturing process for one year beginning from the date of delivery.
If this product presents defects resulting from either material or manufacturing process, it will be replaced without
charge during the limited warranty period if returned to Dell.
In order to obtain the necessary information to enable the replacement, call the appropriate toll-free number. In
Mexico, call 001-877-533-6230; in Puerto Rico, call 1-877-839-5123. In cases in which either the production of the
cartridge has been discontinued or the cartridge is not available, Dell reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to
choose between replacing it by a similar product or reimbursing you for the purchase cost.
This limited warranty does not apply to ink or toner cartridges that have been refilled or to defects resulting from
misuse, abuse, accident, negligence, mishandling, improper storage or exposure to inappropriate environments.
Dell’s liability for the malfunction or defect of hardware after the period of the legal warranty (and specifically the
period of the legal warranty of defective products stated in the consumer protections rules), is limited to either the
substitution of the product or the reimbursement as stated above. This warranty coverage terminates if you sell or
otherwise transfer this product to a third party.
Dell does not accept any additional liability for patrimonial, emotional or any other kind of damage caused to the
consumer and/or to a third party, which exceeds the established liability either in this limited warranty or in legal
rules that may apply.
Appendix 99
Dell Software License Agreement
This is a legal agreement between you, the user, and Dell Products, L.P ("Dell"). This
agreement covers all software that is distributed with the Dell product, for which there is no
separate license agreement between you and the manufacturer or owner of the software
(collectively the "Software"). By opening or breaking the seal on the Software packet(s),
installing or downloading the Software, or using the Software that has been preloaded or is
embedded in your computer, you agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. If you
do not agree to these terms, promptly return all Software items (disks, written materials,
and packaging) and delete any preloaded or embedded Software.
You may use one copy of the Software on only one computer at a time. If you have multiple
licenses for the Software, you may use as many copies at any time as you have licenses.
"Use" means loading the Software in temporary memory or permanent storage on the
computer. Installation on a network server solely for distribution to other computers is not
"use" if (but only if) you have a separate license for each computer to which the Software is
distributed. You must ensure that the number of persons using the Software installed on a
network server does not exceed the number of licenses that you have. If the number of users
of Software installed on a network server will exceed the number of licenses, you must
purchase additional licenses until the number of licenses equals the number of users before
allowing additional users to use the Software. If you are a commercial customer of Dell or a
Dell affiliate, you hereby grant Dell, or an agent selected by Dell, the right to perform an
audit of your use of the Software during normal business hours, you agree to cooperate with
Dell in such audit, and you agree to provide Dell with all records reasonably related to your
use of the Software. The audit will be limited to verification of your compliance with the
terms of this agreement.
The Software is protected by United States copyright laws and international treaties. You
may make one copy of the Software solely for backup or archival purposes or transfer it to a
single hard disk provided you keep the original solely for backup or archival purposes. You
may not rent or lease the Software or copy the written materials accompanying the
Software, but you may transfer the Software and all accompanying materials on a
permanent basis if you retain no copies and the recipient agrees to the terms hereof. Any
transfer must include the most recent update and all prior versions. You may not reverse
engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software. If the package accompanying your
computer contains compact discs, 3.5" and/or 5.25" disks, you may use only the disks
appropriate for your computer. You may not use the disks on another computer or network,
or loan, rent, lease, or transfer them to another user except as permitted by this agreement.
100 Appendix
www.dell.com/supplies | support.dell.com
Limited Warranty
Dell warrants that the Software disks will be free from defects in materials and
workmanship under normal use for ninety (90) days from the date you receive them. This
warranty is limited to you and is not transferable. Any implied warranties are limited to
ninety (90) days from the date you receive the Software. Some jurisdictions do not allow
limits on the duration of an implied warranty, so this limitation may not apply to you. The
entire liability of Dell and its suppliers, and your exclusive remedy, shall be (a) return of the
price paid for the Software or (b) replacement of any disk not meeting this warranty that is
sent with a return authorization number to Dell, at your cost and risk. This limited warranty
is void if any disk damage has resulted from accident, abuse, misapplication, or service or
modification by someone other than Dell. Any replacement disk is warranted for the
remaining original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer.
Dell does NOT warrant that the functions of the Software will meet your requirements or
that operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or error free. You assume responsibility
for selecting the Software to achieve your intended results and for the use and results
obtained from the Software.
DELL, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS SUPPLIERS, DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, FOR THE SOFTWARE AND ALL ACCOMPANYING
WRITTEN MATERIALS. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may
have others, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
IN NO EVENT SHALL DELL OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES
WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF
BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS
INFORMATION, OR OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS) ARISING OUT OF USE OR
INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES. Because some jurisdictions do not allow an exclusion or limitation of
liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you.
Appendix 101
U.S. Government Restricted Rights
The software and documentation are "commercial items" as that term is defined at 48
C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer
software documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212. Consistent with 48
C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, all U.S. Government end
users acquire the software and documentation with only those rights set forth herein.
Contractor/manufacturer is Dell Products, L.P., One Dell Way, Round Rock, Texas 78682.
General
This license is effective until terminated. It will terminate upon the conditions set forth
above or if you fail to comply with any of its terms. Upon termination, you agree that the
Software and accompanying materials, and all copies thereof, will be destroyed. This
agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas. Each provision of this agreement is
severable. If a provision is found to be unenforceable, this finding does not affect the
enforceability of the remaining provisions, terms, or conditions of this agreement. This
agreement is binding on successors and assigns. Dell agrees and you agree to waive, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a jury trial with respect to the Software or
this agreement. Because this waiver may not be effective in some jurisdictions, this waiver
may not apply to you. You acknowledge that you have read this agreement, that you
understand it, that you agree to be bound by its terms, and that this is the complete and
exclusive statement of the agreement between you and Dell regarding the Software.

Regulatory Notices
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free space or
conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the functioning of a radio navigation
or other safety service or seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a licensed
radio communications service. Radio communications services include but are not limited
to AM/FM commercial broadcast, television, cellular services, radar, air-traffic control,
pager, and Personal Communication Services (PCS). These licensed services, along with
unintentional radiators such as digital devices, contribute to the electromagnetic
environment.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic equipment to
function properly together in the electronic environment. While this device has been
designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory agency limits for EMI, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause interference with radio communications services, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient the receiving antenna.
• Relocate the device with respect to the receiver.
• Move the device away from the receiver.
• Plug the device into a different outlet so that the device and the receiver are on
different branch circuits.
If necessary, consult a Dell Technical Support representative or an experienced
radio/television technician for additional suggestions.
For additional regulatory information, see the User’s Guide on your CD.
