JPEG Library
Independent JPEG Group's free JPEG software
------------------------------------------This package contains C software to implement JPEG image encoding, decoding, and transcoding. JPEG is a standardized compression method
for full-color and gray-scale images.
The distributed programs provide conversion between JPEG "JFIF" format and image files in PBMPLUS PPM/PGM, GIF, BMP, and Targa file
formats. The core compression and decompression library can easily be reused in other programs, such as image viewers. The package is highly
portable C code; we have tested it on many machines ranging from PCs to Crays.
We are releasing this software for both noncommercial and commercial use. Companies are welcome to use it as the basis for JPEG-related
products. We do not ask a royalty, although we do ask for an acknowledgement in product literature (see the README file in the distribution for
details). We hope to make this software industrial-quality --- although, as with anything that's free, we offer no warranty and accept no liability.
For more information, contact jpeg-info@jpegclub.org.

Checking the Shared Printer
To confirm that the printer is properly shared:
•

Ensure that the printer object in the Printers, Printers and Faxes, or Devices and Printers folder is shared. The
shared icon is shown under the printer icon.

•

From a network client, browse Network or My Network Places. Find the host name of the server and the shared
name you assigned to the printer.

After you have checked that the printer is shared, use methods such as Windows® Point and Print to use the shared
printer from a network client.
NOTE: If the OS bit editions (32/64 bit edition) differ between a print server and a client computer, you need to manually add the
printer driver for the client computer edition on the server. Otherwise, the printer driver cannot be installed on the client
computer using methods such as Point and Print. For example, if the print server runs on Windows Vista® 32-bit edition, while
the client computer runs on Windows® 7 64-bit edition, follow the procedures below to additionally install the printer driver for
64-bit client on the 32-bit server.

Print Media Guidelines

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, 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.

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.

Print Media Guidelines

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.

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 copying machines. 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.

264

Print Media Guidelines

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 Envelopes in the MPF" for instructions
on loading envelopes.
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.

•

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 Envelopes in the MPF" for instructions on loading envelopes.

•

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

265

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 in 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.

•

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 cartridge 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.

Printing a Report Page
You can print a variety of settings for your printer including system settings, panel setting, and font list. For details about
how to print reports or lists, see "Report / List."

Printer Settings
You can change most of the print settings from the application you are printing from. If your printer is attached to
the network, you can also change settings from the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool. To launch the Dell
Printer Configuration Web Tool, type the printer's IP address in your web browser. To find your printer's IP address,
see "Verifying the IP Settings."
Settings from the application update the default system settings for the printer. Settings from the printer driver only
apply to the job that you are currently sending to the printer.
If you cannot change a setting from the application, use the operator panel, the Tool Box or the Dell Printer
Configuration Web Tool. Changing a system setting from the operator panel, the Tool Box or from the Dell Printer
Configuration Web Tool makes that setting the user default.
You can verify the detailed system settings by printing a system settings report. For details about how to print a
system settings report, see "Report / List."
You can reset settings to their default values from the Tool Box or the operator panel.

Using the Operator Panel to Change the Printer Settings
You can select menu items and corresponding values from the operator panel.
When you first browse through the menus from the operator panel, you see some menu items are highlighted.
These highlighted items are the factory default and original system settings.
NOTE: Factory defaults may vary for different countries.
When you select a new setting from the operator panel, the item selected is highlighted to identify it as the current
user default menu setting.
These settings are active until new ones are selected or the factory defaults are restored.
Driver settings may override changes previously made and may require you to change the operator panel defaults.

Using the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool to Change the Printer Settings
If your printer is connected to the network, you can change the printer settings from your web browser. If you are a
network administrator, you can clone the system settings of one printer to one or all the printers on the network.
Type the IP address of your printer in your web browser. Choose Printer Settings from the topics list. From the
Printer Settings tab, select the System Settings to change the printer settings.
To change the paper type and size, choose Tray Management from the topics list. To change the AccessControl
settings, choose Print Volume from the topics list, and then select the Dell AccessControl tab.

Scanning Using the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Driver
Your printer also supports the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) driver for scanning images. Windows Image
Acquisition (WIA) is one of the standard components incorporated in the recent Microsoft® Windows® operating
systems and works with digital cameras and scanners. Unlike the TWAIN driver, the Windows Image Acquisition
(WIA) driver allows you to scan an image and easily manipulate those images without using additional software.
NOTE: The Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) driver is supported only on Windows®.
To scan an image from the drawing software:

1 Load the document(s) facing up with top edge in first into the DADF.
OR
Place a single document facing down on the document glass, and close the document cover.
For details about loading a document, see "Loading an Original Document."
2 Start the drawing software, such as Microsoft® Paint for Windows®.
NOTE: When you use Windows Vista® or Windows Server® 2008, use Windows® Photo Gallery instead of Microsoft®
Paint.

NOTE: When using applications that utilize Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) 2.0, such as Windows® Fax and Scan on
Windows Vista®, Windows® 7, Windows® 8, Windows® 8.1, and Windows® 10, the Feeder (Scan both sides) option can be
selected for duplex (two-sided) scanning.

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

NOTE: The images used in this manual are those of the Dell™ Cloud Multifunction Printer | H815dw unless otherwise mentioned.

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 level. 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 the 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.

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.
NOTE: The images used in this manual are those of the Dell™ Cloud Multifunction Printer | H815dw unless otherwise mentioned.

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.
