Preprinted ● - Construction: should lie flat with less than 6 mm curl and should not contain air. Cotton ● - Condition: should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor damaged. Recycled ● - Archive ● Temperature: should resist the heat and pressure of the machine during operation. a. The available paper types for manual feeding in the tray. (●: Supported, Blank: Not supported) • When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors: • Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well-creased folds. • Do not use stamped envelopes. • Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, selfadhesive seals, or other synthetic materials. 2. Basic Setup 30 Media and tray • Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes. • Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to the corner of the envelope. Labels To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser printers. 1 Acceptable 2 Unacceptable • Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second about 170°C (338 °F). The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser. • When selecting labels, consider the following factors: • For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm from the edges of the envelope. - Adhesives: Should be stable at your machine’s fusing temperature about 170°C (338°F). • Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet. - Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams. - Curl: Must lie flat with no more than 13 mm of curl in any direction. - Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation. • Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to machine components. 2. Basic Setup 31 Media and tray • Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the machine. Preprinted paper • Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged. When loading preprinted paper, the printed side should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feeding, turn the paper around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed. Card stock/ Custom-sized paper • In the software application, set the margins to at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of the material. • Must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second (about 170°C (338°F)). • Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect machine rollers. • Before you load preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper, reducing print quality. 2. Basic Setup 32 Media and tray 5 6 Using the output support The surface of the output tray may become hot if you print a large number of pages at once. Make sure that you do not touch the surface, and do not allow children near it. Preparing originals • Do not load paper smaller than 142 x 148 mm (5.6 x 5.8 inches) or larger than 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches). • Do not attempt to load the following paper in order to prevent paper jam, low print quality and machine damage. The printed pages stack on the output support, and the output support will help the printed pages to align. The printer sends output to the output tray by default. - Carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper - Coated paper - Onion skin or thin paper - Wrinkled or creased paper - Curled or rolled paper - Torn paper • Remove all staples and paper clips before loading. • Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely dry before loading. • Do not load originals that include different sizes or weights of paper. • Do not load booklets, pamphlets, transparencies, or documents with other unusual characteristics.

Maintenance 48 Storing the toner cartridge Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature and humidity. Dell suggests users follow these recommendations to ensure optimal performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new Dell toner cartridge. - An environment where corrosive gases are present. - An environment with salty air. 1 Store this cartridge in the same environment in which the printer will be used. This should be in controlled temperature and humidity conditions. The toner cartridge should remain in its original and unopened package until installation – if original packaging is not available, cover the top opening of the cartridge with paper and store in a dark cabinet. Opening the cartridge package prior to use dramatically shortens its useful shelf and operating life. Do not store on the floor. If the toner cartridge is removed from the printer, follow the instructions below to store the toner cartridge properly. • Store the cartridge inside the protective bag from the original package. • Store lying flat (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if it were installed in the machine. • Do not store consumables in any of the following conditions: - Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F). - Humidity range less than 20% or greater than 80%. - An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature. - Direct sunlight or room light. - Dusty places. - A car for a long period of time. Handling instructions • Do not touch the surface of the photoconductive drum in the cartridge. • Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock. • Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; this can cause internal damage and toner spillage. 2 Toner cartridge usage Dell Inc. does not recommend or approve the use of non-Dell brand toner cartridges in your printer including generic, store brand, refilled, or remanufactured toner cartridges. Dell’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine caused by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or non-Dell branded toner cartridges. 3. Maintenance 49 Storing the toner cartridge 3 Estimated cartridge life Estimated cartridge life (the life of the toner cartridge yield) depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual print yield may vary depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating environment, percentage of image area, printing interval, media type and/or media size. For example, if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the toner is higher and you may need to change the cartridge more often. 3. Maintenance 50 Redistributing toner When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life: • White streaks or light printing occurs and/or density variation side to side. • The Status LED blinks red. In the case of machine with a Toner LED, it blinks orange. If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the toner. Illustrations on this user’s guide may differ from your machine depending on its options or models. Check your machine type (see "Front view" on page 17). • To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary. • Do not touch the green area of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area. • Do not use sharp objects such as a knife or scissors to open the toner cartridge package. They might scratch the drum of the cartridge. • If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric. • When opening a scan unit, hold the document feeder and scan unit together. 3. Maintenance 51 Redistributing toner 2 1 3.

Using a Network-Connected Machine 130 Wireless network setup ▪ IP address: 169.254.133.42 ▪ Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 • If the computer and the machine are connected on the same network and it cannot be found when searching, firewall software might be blocking the communication. Refer to the user's guide for the software to turn it off and try searching for the machine again. Then the machine’s network information should be as below: ▪ IP address: 169.254.133.43 ▪ Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 (Use the computer’s subnet mask.) ▪ Gateway: 169.254.133.1 Other problems Check whether firewall software (V3 or Norton) is blocking the communication. • Check whether the machine's IP address is allocated correctly. You can check the IP address by printing the network configuration report. • Check whether the access point (or wireless router) has a configured security (password). If it has a password, refer to the access point (or wireless router) administrator. • Check the machine's IP address. Reinstall the machine driver and change the settings to connect to the machine on the network. Due to the characteristics of DHCP, the allocated IP address could change if the machine is not used for a long time or if the access point has been reset. If problems occur while using the machine on a network, check the following: For information on the access point (or wireless router), refer to its own user's guide. Register the product's MAC address when you confogure the DHCP server on the access point (or wireless router). Then you can always use the IP address that is set with the MAC address. You can identify the Mac address of your machine by printing a network configuration report. • Your computer, access point (or wireless router), or machine may not be turned on. • Check the wireless reception around the machine. If the router is far from the machine or there is an obstacle, you might have difficulty receiving the signal. • Cycle the power for the access point (or wireless router), machine, and computer. Sometimes cycling the power can recover network communication. Check the wireless environment. You might not be able to connect to the network in the infrastructure environment where you need to type in a user's information before connecting to the access point (or wireless router). • This machine only supports IEEE 802.11 b/g/n and Wi-Fi.
