Electrical Safety
Use the power cord supplied with your printer.
Plug the power cord directly into a properly grounded electrical outlet. If you do not know
if an outlet is grounded, ask an electrician to check the outlet.
Do not use a ground adapter plug to connect the printer to an electrical outlet that does not
have a ground connection terminal.
Do not use an extension cord or power strip.
Warning: Avoid the potential of electrical shock by ensuring that the printer is properly
grounded. Electrical products may be hazardous if misused.
Do not place the printer in an area where people might step on the power cord.
Do not place objects on the power cord.
Do not block the ventilation openings. These openings are provided to prevent overheating
of the printer.
Do not drop paper clips or staples into the printer.
Warning: Do not push objects into slots or openings on the printer. Making contact with
a voltage point or shorting out a part could result in fire or electrical shock.
If you notice unusual noises or odors:
1. Turn off the printer immediately.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
3. Call an authorized service representative to correct the problem.
The power cord is attached to the printer as a plug-in device at the back of the printer. If it is necessary to disconnect all electrical power from the printer, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
Warning: Do not remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws unless you are
installing optional equipment and are specifically instructed to do so. Power should be OFF when performing these installations. Except for user-installable options, there are no parts that you can maintain or service behind these covers.
Note: Leave the printer on for optimum performance; it does not pose a safety hazard.

Types of Fonts

Your printer uses the following types of fonts:
Resident fonts
Fonts downloaded into printer RAM, hard drive, or flash memory
Fonts downloaded with your print job from the application
Adobe Type Manager (ATM) software enables your computer to display these fonts on your computer screen as they will appear in your prints.
If you do not have ATM on your computer:
1. Install it from the Software and Documentation CD.
2. Install the printer’s screen fonts for your computer from the ATM folder.

Downloading Fonts

To supplement the resident fonts (which are always available for printing), you can download fonts from your computer to the printer’s memory or to the printer’s hard drive or flash memory. Downloading fonts to a printer can improve printing performance and reduce network traffic.
You can list, print, and download PostScript, PCL, and TrueType fonts to your printer using the Dell Printer Font Management Utility. This utility helps you manage fonts, macros, and forms on a printer’s hard drive.
Use the Software and Documentation CD to download and install the Font Management Utility.
Note: If you turn off the printer, the fonts you download to memory are deleted. You must
download them again when you turn on the printer. Fonts downloaded to the hard drive are not deleted when you turn off the printer.

Choosing a Connection Method

Choosing a Connection Method
Connect the printer via Ethernet, USB, or parallel. A USB or a parallel connection is a direct connection and is not used for networking. An Ethernet connection is used for networking. Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Cabling and hardware are generally not included with your printer and must be purchased separately. This section includes:
Connecting via Ethernet (Recommended) on page 3-3
Connecting via USB on page 3-4
Connecting via Parallel on page 3-4

Connecting via Ethernet (Recommended)

Ethernet can be used for one or more computers. It supports many printers and systems on an Ethernet network. An Ethernet connection is recommended because it is faster than a USB connection. It also allows you direct access to the Embedded Web Server (EWS). The Embedded Web Server interface enables you to manage, configure, and monitor networked printers from your desktop.
Network Connection
Depending on your particular setup, the following hardware and cabling is required for Ethernet.
If you are connecting to one computer, an Ethernet RJ-45 crossover cable is required.
If you are connecting to one or more computers with an Ethernet hub, or cable or DSL
router, two or more twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required. (One cable for each device.)
If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, connect the computer to the hub with one cable, and then connect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Connect to any port on the hub except the uplink port.

Choosing a Connection Method

Connecting via USB

If you are connecting to one computer, a USB connection offers fast data speeds. However, a USB connection is not as fast as an Ethernet connection. To use USB, PC users must have Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 or newer. Macintosh users must use Mac OS X, version 10.3 and higher.
USB Connection
A USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cable. This cable is not included with your printer and must be purchased separately. Verify that you are using the correct USB (1.x or
2.0) cable for your connection.
1. Connect one end of the USB cable to the printer and turn it on.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer.
See also:
Available Printer Drivers on page 3-11

Connecting via Parallel

A Parallel cable connection can also be used for connecting to one computer. This type of connection provides the slowest data speeds. Parallel connection requires a standard-to-high density Parallel printer cable, (36-pin high-density 1284-C [male] to 36-pin low density 1284-B [male] cable), with a maximum length of three meters (10 feet). Connect the Parallel cable to the printer and the computer while they are both Off, and then turn them On. Install the printer driver from the Software and Documentation CD, and select the appropriate LPT Parallel port.

TCP/IP and IP Addresses on page 3-5
Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 3-5
Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 3-6
Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 3-8

TCP/IP and IP Addresses

If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate TCP/IP addresses and additional configuration information.
If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the printer directly to your computer using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address.
PCs and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network. With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. It is important that the addresses are similar, but not the same; only the last digit needs to be different. For example, your printer can have the address 192.168.1.2 while your computer has the address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the address 192.168.1.4.
Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the EtherTalk protocol to talk to a networked printer. For Mac OS X systems, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however, EtherTalk does not require printers or computers to have IP addresses.
Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server automatically programs an IP address into every PC and printer on the network that is configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and DSL routers. If you use a cable or DSL router, see your router’s documentation for information on IP addressing.
See also:
IPv6 on page 3-25

Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address

If the printer is connected to a small established TCP/IP network without a DHCP server, use the installer on the Software and Documentation CD to detect or assign an IP address to your printer. For further instructions, insert the Software and Documentation CD into your computer’s CD drive. After the Dell Printer Installer launches, follow the prompts for installation.
Note: For the automatic installer to function, the printer must be connected to an established
TCP/IP network.

Configuring the Network Address
Using Host Names with the Domain Name Service (DNS)
The printer supports DNS through an embedded DNS resolver. The DNS resolver protocol communicates with one or more DNS servers to resolve the IP address for a given host name or the host name for a given IP address.
To use an IP host name for the printer, the system administrator must configure one or more DNS servers and a local DNS domain name space database. To set up the printer for DNS, supply a maximum of two DNS name server IP addresses.
Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS)
The printer supports Dynamic DNS through DHCP. You must have DHCP enabled on the printer for DDNS to function. Your network’s DHCP server must also support Dynamic DNS updates through option 12 or option 81 support. See your network administrator for details.

Embedded Web Server

The Embedded Web Server (EWS) provides a simple interface to the embedded web server in any networked Dell printer that enables you to manage, configure, and monitor networked printers from your desktop. EWS gives administrators easy access to printer status, configuration, and diagnostic functions. It also provides users with access to printer status and special printing functions such as printing saved jobs. With the EWS software, you can access and manage your printers over a TCP/IP network using a web browser.
The Embedded Web Server enables you to:
Check supplies status from your desktop, saving a trip to the printer. Access job
accounting records to allocate printing costs and plan supplies purchases.
Define a network printer search and view a list of printers using Printer Neighborhood.
The list provides current status information and allows you to manage printers independent of network servers and operating systems.
Configure printers from your desktop. EWS makes it easy to copy settings from one
printer to another.
Set up and use a simple web-browser-based printing system. Marketing collateral, sales
materials, business forms, or other standardized, frequently used documents can be saved as a group with their original driver settings then reprinted on demand at high speed from any user's browser. A printer with a hard drive is required to support these functions. In some printer models, a DX configuration is required to support these functions.
Troubleshoot print-quality problems using built-in diagnostics.
Define a link to your local web server’s support page.
Access online manuals and technical support information located on the Dell website.
Note: EWS requires a web browser and a TCP/IP connection between the printer and the
network (in Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX environments). TCP/IP and HTTP must be enabled in the printer. JavaScript is required to access the pages in Printer Neighborhood. If JavaScript is disabled, a warning message appears and the pages do not function properly.
For complete information about EWS, click the Help button in the Embedded Web Server to go to the EWS Online Help.

Setting the Interface ID

Your IPv6-enabled printer has one interface with multiple addresses. The Interface ID is the part of the address after the prefix. The printer uses the Interface ID when assigning both the Link-Local address and automatic addresses that use router supplied prefix(es). It is not used in addresses supplied by DHCPv6. Link-Local addresses are used by nodes to communicate with other nodes on the same local network. There are two options to set the Interface ID:
The default is to have the Interface ID automatically computed from the MAC address
associated with the interface. The ID is different for each device. This is the recommended method for setting the Interface ID.
The other option is to manually set the interface ID. The Interface ID must be 64 bits
(8 bytes) in length, and must not contain special characters other than colons or valid hexadecimal digits (0 through 9, a through f, or A through F).
Note: If you change the Interface ID, you will be prompted to reset the printer before the
changes take effect.
The Interface ID can only be set in EWS.
Using the Embedded Web Server
To set the Interface ID using EWS:
1. Launch your web browser.
2. Enter your printer’s IP address in the browser’s Address field.
3. Click Properties.

Your printer is designed to be used with a variety of paper types. Follow the guidelines in this section to ensure the best print quality and to avoid jams.
For best results, use printing media specified for your Dell 7330 Mono Laser Printer. They are guaranteed to produce excellent results with your printer.
Caution: Damage caused by using unsupported media is not covered by the Dell warranty or
service agreement.
To order paper, transparencies, or other specialty media, contact your local reseller or go to
www.dell.com/supplies
.

Paper Usage Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to ensure the best print quality and avoid printer jams:
Store paper on a flat surface, in a relatively low humidity environment.
Do not unwrap paper until you are ready to use it, rewrap any paper that is not being used.
Do not expose paper to direct sunlight or high humidity.
If excessive jams occur, flip and fan the paper in the tray or install fresh paper from a
newly opened ream.
Fan transparencies and labels prior to loading them in the tray.
Do not print on label stock once a label has been removed from the sheet.
Use only paper envelopes. Do not use envelopes with windows or metal clasps. Other size
envelopes may be printed as a custom size.

Paper that May Damage Your Printer

Your printer is designed to be used with a variety of paper types. Other media types can cause poor print quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your printer.
Note: If you use pre-printed material regularly, the feed rollers may require additional
cleaning.
The following are examples of unacceptable paper:
Rough or porous media
Plastic media other than supported transparencies
Paper that has been folded or wrinkled
Padded envelopes
Non-laser glossy or coated paper
Paper that has been photocopied
Paper with cutouts or perforations
Paper with staples inserted
Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, adhesives with release strips, or side seams
Note: Using paper free of contaminants helps guarantee longer component life and better
print quality. Paper with better cut quality also reduces paper jams and misfeeds.

Paper Storage Guidelines

Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum print quality.
Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to
damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.
Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier than
outside walls where moisture can collect.
Store paper flat. Paper should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer.
Leave paper in the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
Leave the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in the
bag and reseal it for protection. Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags.

Printing Envelopes

This topic includes:
Guidelines for Envelopes on page 4-38
Printing Envelopes from Tray 1 (MPT) on page 4-39
Printing Envelopes from the Optional Envelope Tray on page 4-40
Guidelines for Envelopes
Buying and Storing Envelopes
Use only paper envelopes specified in the Supported Papers table. Successful envelope
printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Use envelopes made specifically for laser printers.
It is recommended that you maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness
which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during printing.
Avoid padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
Remove air “bubbles” from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book on top of
the envelopes.
If wrinkling or embossing problems occur, use a different brand of envelopes made
specifically for laser printers.
For more information, go to Supported Paper and Media on page 4-2.
Preparing to Print
Follow these guidelines to prevent wrinkling problems:
Print only on the front of the envelope.
Perform these steps when using an application that includes a tool for creating an envelope
document:
Select facedown.
Select the feed method with the image centered.
Clear Clockwise Rotation.
Load a maximum stack height of 10 mm (.4 in.) for Tray 1 (MPT) and 43 mm (1.7 in.) for
the optional Envelope Tray at a time.
Avoid printing over the area where the envelope seams meet.
When using commercial flap envelopes with side seams (vs. diagonal seams) verify that
the side seams are cut all the way to the corner of the envelope.
Caution: Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer.

Guidelines for Postcards
Postcards can be printed from Tray 1 (MPT) or the optional Envelope Tray.
Store unused postcards flat in their original packaging. Leave them inside the original
packaging until ready to use. Return any unused postcards to the original packaging and reseal it.
Do not store postcards in extremely dry or humid conditions or extremely hot or cold
conditions. Storing them in extreme conditions may cause print quality problems or cause them to jam in the printer.
Rotate stock frequently. Long periods of storage in extreme conditions can cause postcards
to curl and jam the printer.
