Product Features
This chapter describes the product features and indicates their links.
Printing from USB Memory (USB Direct Print)

Using the ID Card Copy (ID Card Copy)

The USB Direct Print feature enables you to print files
directly from a USB memory without requiring you to start
your computer and an application.

You can copy both sides of an ID card on one side of a
single sheet of paper in its original size by selecting ID
Card Copy on the touch panel. This feature helps to
show both sides of an ID card in one page in its original
size.

Sending an E-Mail With the Scanned Image (Scan to E-mail)

Scanning to a PC or Server via SMB/FTP (Scan to Network)

When you want to send scanned data by e-mail, use the
Scan to E-mail feature. You can directly send the data
scanned as an e-mail attachment. You can choose
destination e-mail addresses from the address book on the
printer or server. Or, you can enter the address from the
touch panel on the printer's operator panel.

You can transfer data scanned to a PC or a server via SMB
or FTP without service software. Although prior
registration of the destination FTP server or PC on the
address book is required, it helps save your time.

Scanning to a USB Memory (Scan to USB Memory)

Making Copies From the Document Glass (Scan From
Document Glass)

With the Scan to USB Memory feature, you don't need a
PC to connect a USB memory. You can specify the USB
memory inserted into the printer's port as a data saving
location when you scan data.

You can scan the pages of a book or a brochure from the
document glass. When you scan documents using the
document glass, place them facing down.

NOTE: When you assign an IP address manually in IPv6 mode, use the Dell™ Printer Configuration Web Tool. To display the Dell
Printer Configuration Web Tool, use the link-local address. To confirm the link-local address, print a system settings report and
check the Link-Local Address under Network (Wired) or Network (Wireless).
For details about how to print a system settings report, see "Report / List."

Print Media Guidelines

17

Print media refers to paper, labels, envelopes, and coated paper among others. Your printer provides high-quality
printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the appropriate print media for your printer helps avoid printing
troubles. This section describes selecting and caring for print media.
NOTE: Use only laser print media. Do not use ink jet paper in your printer.

Paper
For the best print quality in color, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic, grain long paper. For the best print quality in
black and white, use 90 g/m2 (24 lb) xerographic, grain long paper. It is recommended that you try a sample first
before buying large quantities of any print media.
When loading paper, identify the recommended print side on the paper package, and load the paper accordingly. See
"Loading Print Media in Tray1 and the Optional 550-Sheet Feeder" and "Loading Print Media in the MPF" for
detailed loading instructions.

Paper Characteristics
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. It is recommended that you follow these
guidelines when evaluating new paper stock.
Weight

The tray automatically feeds paper weights from 60 g/m2 to 216 g/m2 (16 lb to 80 lb bond) grain long. The
multipurpose feeder (MPF) automatically feeds paper weights from 60 g/m2 to 216 g/m2 (16 lb to 80 lb bond) grain
long. Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) may not feed properly, and could cause paper jams. For best performance,
use 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) grain long paper.
Curl

Curl is the tendency of print media to curve at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding problems. Curl
usually occurs after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high temperatures. Storing paper
unwrapped, even in the paper tray, can contribute to paper curling prior to printing and cause feeding problems
regardless of humidity. When printing on curled paper, straighten the paper and then insert it into the MPF.
Smoothness

The degree of paper smoothness directly affects the print quality. If the paper is too rough, the toner does not fuse
on to the paper properly, resulting in poor print quality. If the paper is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding
problems. Smoothness between 150 and 250 Sheffield points produces the best print quality.
Moisture Content

The amount of moisture in the paper affects both the print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the paper
properly. Leave the paper in its original packaging until you are ready to use it. This limits the exposure of the paper
to moisture changes that can degrade its performance.
Grain Direction

Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long, running the length of
the paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper. For 60 g/m2 to 135 g/m2 (16 lb to 36 lb bond) paper, grain
long fibers are recommended. For paper heavier than 135 g/m2 (36 lb bond), grain short is preferred.

Print Media Guidelines

301

Fiber Content

Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100 % chemically pulped wood. Paper containing fibers such as
cotton may lead to degraded paper handling.

Recommended Paper
To ensure the best print quality and feed reliability, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic paper. Business paper designed
for general business use also provides acceptable print quality. Only use paper able to withstand high temperatures
without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous emissions. The laser printing process heats paper to high
temperatures. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the paper you have chosen is
acceptable for laser printers.
It is recommended that you try a sample first before buying large quantities of any print media. When choosing any
print media, you should consider the weight, fiber content, and color.

Unacceptable Paper
The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer:
•

Chemically treated paper used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless paper, carbonless
copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper.

•

Preprinted paper with chemicals that may contaminate the printer.

•

Preprinted paper that can be affected by the temperature in the fusing unit.

•

Preprinted paper that requires a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than ±0.09 inches,
such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms.
In some cases, you can adjust registration with your software program to successfully print on these forms.

•

Coated paper (erasable bond), synthetic paper, and thermal paper.

•

Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface paper, or curled paper.

•

Recycled paper containing more than 25 % post-consumer waste that does not meet DIN 19 309.

•

Multiple-part forms or documents.

•

Print quality may deteriorate (blank spaces or blotches may appear in the text) when printing on talc or acid paper.

Selecting Paper
Proper paper selection helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing.
To help avoid jams or poor print quality:
•

Always use new, undamaged paper.

•

Before loading the paper, identify the recommended print side of the paper. This information is usually indicated
on the paper package.

•

Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed.

•

Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source. This may result in a paper jam.

•

Do not remove the tray while printing is in progress.

•

Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the tray.

•

Flex the paper back and forth, and then fan them. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.

302

Print Media Guidelines

Selecting Pre-Printed Media and Letterheads
When selecting pre-printed and letterhead paper for the printer:
•

Use grain long paper for best results.

•

Use only forms and letterheads printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.

•

Select paper that absorb ink, but does not bleed.

•

Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.

•

Use paper printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand
temperatures of 225 °C (437 °F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.

•

Use inks that are not affected by the resin in the toner or the silicone in the fusing unit. Inks that are oxidation-set
or oil-based should meet these requirements; latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact your paper supplier.

Selecting Pre-Punched Paper
When selecting pre-punched paper for the printer:
•

Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of pre-punched paper.

•

Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper already packaged in a ream. Drilled
paper can cause jams when multiple sheets feed through the printer. This may result in a paper jam.

•

Pre-punched paper can include more paper dust than standard paper. Your printer may require more frequent
cleaning and feed reliability may not be as good as standard paper.

•

Weight guidelines for pre-punched paper are the same as non-punched paper.

Envelopes
Depending on the envelopes, it is possible to expect variable levels of wrinkling. It is recommended that you try a
sample first before buying large quantities of any print media. See "Loading an Envelope in the MPF" for
instructions on loading an envelope.
When printing on envelopes:
•

Use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers.

•

Set the print media source to the MPF. Set the paper type to Envelope, and select the correct size of envelope from
the printer driver.

•

Use envelopes made from 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond) weight for the
envelope feeder as long as the cotton content is 25 % or less. Envelopes with 100 % cotton content must not exceed
90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) weight.

•

Use only freshly unpackaged, undamaged envelopes.

•

Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205 °C (401 °F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering, check with the
envelope supplier.

Print Media Guidelines

303

•

Adjust the guide to fit the width of the envelopes.

•

To load an envelope into the MPF, insert the envelope with the flaps closed or open and the short-edge of the
envelope facing into the printer. The print side must be facing up.

•

See "Loading an Envelope in the MPF" for instructions on loading an envelope.

•

Use one envelope size during a print job.

•

Ensure that the humidity is low because high humidity (more than 60 %) and the high printing temperatures may
seal the envelopes.

•

For best performance, do not use envelopes that:
–

Have excessive curl or twist

–

Are stuck together or damaged in any way

–

Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing

–

Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars

–

Have an interlocking design

–

Have postage stamps attached

–

Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position

–

Have nicked edges or bent corners

–

Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes

Labels
Your printer can print on many labels designed only for use with laser printers.
When selecting labels:
•

Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 205 °C (401
°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).

•

Use labels that can be without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.

•

Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
CAUTION: Before buying large quantities of any print media, it is recommended that you try a sample first.

When printing on labels:
•

Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205 °C (401 °F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions.

•

Set the paper type to Label from the printer driver.

•

Load labels in the MPF. Tray1 and the optional 550-sheet feeder do not support labels.

•

Do not load labels together with paper in the MPF.

•

Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the die-cut.

•

Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the
label.

•

Do not print a label through the printer more than once.

•

Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.

•

Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.

•

Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam.

304

Print Media Guidelines

•

Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. It is recommended that zone coating of the
adhesive is done at least 1 mm (0.04 inches) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your printer and
could void your warranty.
WARNING: Otherwise a jam occurs in the printer and contaminate your printer and your cartridges with adhesive. As a result,
could void your printer and cartridge warranties.

Storing Print Media
For proper print media storage, the following guidelines will help to avoid media feeding problems and uneven print
quality.
•

Store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21 °C (70 °F) and the relative
humidity is 40 %.

•

Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.

•

If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carton, ensure that they rest on a flat surface so
that the edges do not buckle or curl.

•

Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.

Using the MPF
•

Load only one size and type of print media during a single print job.

•

To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality print media that is designed for use in laser printer.
For more guidelines on print media, see "Print Media Guidelines."

•

Do not add or remove print media when there is still print media in the MPF or when the printer is printing from
the MPF. This may result in a paper jam.

•

Print media should be loaded with the recommended print side up and the top of the print media going into the
MPF first.

•

Do not place objects on the MPF. Also, avoid pressing down or apply excessive force on it.

•

The icons on the MPF show how to load the MPF with paper, and how to turn an envelope for printing.

Linking Trays
The printer automatically links the trays when you load the same size and type of print media in them. The first tray
will be utilized until the media runs out after which the next tray will be used.
NOTE: The print media should be the same size and type in each tray.
The MPF cannot be linked to any of the tray sources.
After loading the selected trays with the same size and type of print media, select the Paper Type setting in the Tray
Settings component for each source (tray).
To disable tray linking change the paper type in one of the sources (trays) to a unique value.
NOTE: If different types of print media of the same size are loaded in each tray, the printer will automatically link them if the
paper type is not specified in the printer driver properties/preferences.

Scanning Overview
Use your Dell™ C3765dnf Multifunction Color Laser Printer to turn pictures and text into editable images on your
computer.
The Dell C3765dnf Multifunction Color Laser Printer provides several ways to scan your document. There are two
main scanning types. One is operated on the printer side without using the scanner driver, and the other is operated
on the computer side using a software and the scanner driver. See the available features below to help you find the
information you need.
•

Scanning - With scanner driver

•

Scanning - Without scanner driver

Scanning - With scanner driver

software)
See "Scanning Using the TWAIN Driver."

•

Scan into a Microsoft’s default program such as Windows Photo Gallery and Microsoft Paint, using a Windows
Image Acquisition (WIA) driver
(Supporting USB and Network (including WSD) connections on Windows only)
See "Scanning Using the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Driver."

•

Scan and send the scanned document to computer connected via USB cable
(Supporting USB connection for both Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh using bundled software tool of
ScanButton Manager)
Using the feature of Scan to Application on the operator panel of your printer, the scanned image is saved in the
location of your computer specified with the ScanButton Manager.
See "Scanning From the Operator Panel - Scan to Application."

The resolution setting to use when you scan an item depends on the item type and how you plan to use the image or
document after you scan it to your computer. For the best results, use these recommended settings.
Type

Resolution

Documents

300 dpi black-and-white or 200 dpi grayscale or color

Documents of poor quality or that contain small text

400 dpi black-and-white or 300 dpi grayscale

Photographs and pictures

100–200 dpi color or 200 dpi grayscale

Images for an inkjet printer

150–300 dpi

Images for a high-resolution printer

300–600 dpi

Scanning above these recommended resolutions may exceed the capabilities of the application. If you require a
resolution above those recommended in the above table, you should reduce the size of the image by previewing (or
pre-scan) and cropping before scanning the image.
PaperPort

PaperPort that comes bundled with this printer can be used to manage all your documents. You can organize, search,
and share all of your scanned documents.
NOTE: PaperPort is supported only on Windows.
NOTE: You can use PaperPort's built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to copy text from scanned documents so
that you can use and edit the text in any text editing, word processing, or spreadsheet program. The OCR process requires
textual images scanned at 150–600 dpi and 300 dpi or 600 dpi is recommended for graphics.
If you prefer to use another application, such as Adobe Photoshop, you must assign the application to the printer by
selecting it from the list of available applications through the Select Software button each time you start scanning. If
you do not assign an application to the Select Software button, PaperPort is automatically selected when you start
scanning. See "Printer Utility Software."
Dell ScanCenter

Dell ScanCenter is a PaperPort application that enables you to scan items and send them directly to PaperPort or
other programs on your computer without first running PaperPort. Dell ScanCenter runs as a separate application
from the Windows start menu and displays the Dell ScanCenter bar. For more information about using Dell
ScanCenter, refer to the PaperPort's Help menu.

Icons on the Dell ScanCenter bar represent the programs that are limited to PaperPort and to Dell ScanCenter. To
scan and send an item to a program, click the program icon and then scan the item. Dell ScanCenter automatically
starts the selected program when the scan is complete.

Understanding Fonts

27

Typefaces and Fonts
A font is a set of characters and symbols created with a distinct design. The distinct design is called a typeface. The
typefaces you select add personality to a document. Well-chosen typefaces make a document easier to read.
The printer has numerous resident fonts in PCL 5/PCL 6 and PostScript 3. See "Resident Fonts" for a listing of all
resident fonts.

Weight and Style
Typefaces are often available in different weights and styles. These variations modify the original typeface so you can,
for example, emphasize important words in text or highlight book titles. The different weights and styles are
designed to complement the original typeface.

Weight refers to the thickness of the lines that form the characters. Thicker lines result in darker characters. Some
words commonly used to describe the weight of a typeface are bold, medium, light, black, and heavy.
Style refers to other typeface modifications, such as tilt or character width. Italic and oblique are styles where the

characters are tilted. Narrow, condensed, and extended are three common styles that modify the character widths.
Some fonts combine several weight and style modifications; for example, Helvetica BdOb. A group of several weight
and style variations of a single typeface is called a typeface family. Most typeface families have four variations:
regular, italic (oblique), bold, and bold italic (bold oblique). Some families have more variations, as the following
illustration for the Helvetica typeface family shows:

Pitch and Point Size
The size of a font is specified as either a pitch or point size, depending on whether the font is fixed space or
proportional.
In fixed space fonts, each character has the same width. Pitch is used to specify the size of fixed space fonts. It is a
measure of the number of characters that will print in one horizontal inch of type. For example, all 10-pitch fonts
print 10 characters per inch (cpi) and all 12-pitch fonts print 12 cpi:

Understanding Fonts

435

In proportional (or typographic) fonts, every character can have a different width. Since proportional fonts have
characters with different widths, the font size is specified in point size, not pitch. Point size refers to the height of
the characters in the font. A point is defined as 1/72 inch. The characters in a font printed at 24 point will be twice as
large as the characters in the same font printed at 12 point.
The following illustration shows samples of a font printed in different point sizes:

The point size of a font is defined as the distance from the top of the tallest character in the font to the bottom of
the lowest character in the font. Due to the definition of point size, different fonts printed at the same point size
may appear quite different in size. This is because there are other font parameters that affect how the font looks.
However, the point size of a font is an excellent specification of the relative size of a font. The following examples
illustrate two very different proportional fonts at 14 point:

Bitmapped and Scalable Fonts
The printer uses both bitmapped and scalable fonts.

Bitmapped fonts are stored in print memory as predefined patterns of bits that represent a typeface at a specific size,
style, and resolution. The following illustration shows an example of a character from a bitmapped font.

Bitmapped fonts are available in different type styles and point sizes as downloadable fonts.

Scalable fonts (also called outline fonts) are stored as computer programs that define the outlines of the characters
in the font. Each time you print characters from a scalable font, the printer creates a bitmap of the characters at the
point size you choose and saves it temporarily in print memory.

436

Understanding Fonts

These temporary bitmapped fonts are deleted when you turn off or reset the printer. Scalable fonts provide the
flexibility of printing in many different point sizes.
Your printer uses different scalable font formats for downloading fonts to the printer. PCL 5/PCL 6 uses Intellifont
and TrueType scalable fonts. PostScript 3 uses Type 1 and TrueType scalable fonts. There are thousands of different
scalable fonts available in these different font formats from numerous font suppliers.
If you plan to use many downloadable bitmapped or scalable fonts or if you plan to use many different sizes of
scalable fonts, you may need to purchase additional memory for your printer.

Resident Fonts
Your printer is equipped with resident fonts stored permanently in print memory. Different fonts are available in
PCL 5/PCL 6 and PostScript 3. Some of the most popular typefaces, like Courier and TimesNew (PCL 5/PCL
6)/Times New Roman (PostScript 3), are available for all printer languages.
The following table lists all the fonts resident in your printer. See "Report / List" for instructions on how to print
samples of the fonts. You can select the resident fonts from your software program. You can also select the fonts from
the operator panel if you are using PCL 5/PCL 6.

Symbol Sets
A symbol set is the collection of alphabetic and numeric characters, punctuation, and special characters available in
the font you select. Symbol sets support the requirements for different languages or specific applications, such as
math symbols used for scientific text.
In PCL 5/PCL 6, a symbol set also defines which character will print for each key on the keyboard (or more
specifically, for each code point). Some applications require different characters at some code points. To support
multiple applications and languages, your printer has 36 symbol sets for the resident PCL 5/PCL 6 fonts.

Symbol Sets for PCL 5/PCL 6
Not all font names support all of the symbol sets listed.

Maintaining Your Printer
You need to complete certain tasks to maintain optimum print quality.

Determining the Status of Supplies
If your printer is connected to the network, the Dell™ Printer Configuration Web Tool can provide instant feedback
on remaining toner levels. Type the printer's IP address in your web browser to view this information. To use the EMail Alert Setup feature that notifies you when the printer requires new supplies, type the desired e-mail address in
the e-mail list box.
On the touch panel screen, you can also confirm the following:
•

Any supply or maintenance items that require attention replacing (However, the printer can only display
information about one item at a time).

•

Amount of toner remaining in each toner cartridge.

Conserving Supplies
You can change several settings in your printer driver to conserve toner cartridge and paper.
Supply

Setting

Toner cartridge Toner Saver in the Others tab

Function
This check box allows the users to select a print mode that uses less
toner. The image quality will be lower when this feature is used.

Storing Print Media
To avoid potential paper feeding problems and uneven print quality, there are several things you can do:
•

To achieve the best possible print quality, store print media in an environment where the temperature is
approximately 21 °C (70 °F) and the relative humidity is 40 %.

•

Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.

•

If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carton, ensure that they rest on a flat surface so
the edges do not buckle or curl.

•

Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.

Storing Consumables
Store consumables in their original packaging until you need to use them. Do not store consumables in:
•

Temperatures greater than 40 °C (104 °F).

•

An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.

•

Direct sunlight.

•

Dusty places.

•

A car for a long period of time.

•

An environment where corrosive gases are present.

•

Determining Values
On the color registration chart, there are two types of charts: Chart 1 (fast scan) and Chart 2 (slow scan).

Chart 1 (fast scan)

Chart 2 (slow scan)

The Chart 1 is used to adjust the color registration for the fast scan direction, which is vertical to paper feed
direction. The Chart 2 is used to adjust the color registration for the slow scan direction, which is horizontal to paper
feed direction.
The following sections explain how to determine the adjustment values for the fast scan and the slow scan using
Chart 1 and Chart 2.

Maintaining Your Printer

499

Fast Scan

On the Chart 1 of the color registration chart, find the straightest lines where the two black lines and the colored line
are most closely aligned for each color (LY, LM, LC, RY, RM, and RC). If you find the straightest line, make a note
of the value (-8 to +8) indicated by the straightest line for each color.
When the value is 0 for each color, you do not need to adjust the color registration for the fast scan.
When the value is not 0, enter the value using the procedure in "Entering Values."

Straightest line

NOTE: If it is difficult to choose only one value, as in the case that there seem to be two values closest to a straight line, take the
value between the two. For example, in the figure above, -6 and -8 are the values closest to a straight line, so you would enter the
value -7.
Slow Scan

On the Chart 2 of the color registration chart, find the medium line within the range of white area for each color
pattern (PY, PM, and PC). If you find the medium line, make a note of the value (-9 to +9) indicated by the
medium line for each color.
When the value is 0 for each color, you do not need to adjust the color registration for the slow scan.
When the value is not 0, enter the value using the procedure in "Entering Values."

Careful selection of appropriate print media and proper loading allow you to avoid paper jams. See "Print Media
Guidelines" for more information.
NOTE: Before buying large quantities of any print media, it is recommended to try a sample first.

Avoiding Jams
•

Use only recommended print media. See "Print Media Guidelines" for more information.

•

See "Loading Print Media in Tray1 and the Optional 550-Sheet Feeder" and "Loading Print Media in the MPF" to
load print media properly.

•

Do not overload the print media sources. Ensure that the print media stack height does not exceed the maximum
height indicated by the load-line labels in the tray.

•

Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.

•

Flex, fan, and straighten print media before you load it. If a jam occurs with print media, try feeding one sheet at a
time through the multipurpose feeder (MPF).

•

Do not use print media that you have cut or trimmed yourself.

•

Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source.

•

Ensure that the recommended print side is face up when you insert the print media.

•

Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. For more information, see "Storing Print Media."

•

Do not remove the feeding tray during a print job.

•

Push tray1 or the optional 550-sheet feeder (tray2) in firmly after loading.

•

Ensure that all cables that connect to the printer are correctly attached.

•

Overtightening the guides may cause jams.

•

Wipe the retard rollers in the tray or MPF with a cloth that is slightly dampened with water if jams caused by
misfeeding paper occur frequently.
