2. Learning the Basic Usage

Media and tray

Manual feeding in the tray

The tray can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes (see "Print media specifications" on page 58).

Tips on using the manual feeder

• Load only one type, size and weight of print media at time in the manual feeder.

•If you select Paper > Source > Manual Feeder for the paper source in

your software application, you need to press (Info) or (WPS)

button each time you print a page and load only one type, size and weight of print media at a time on the manual tray.

• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing when there is still paper in the manual feeder.

• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the manual feeder first and be placed in the center of the tray.

Printing on special media

• To ensure printing quality and to prevent paper jams, only load the available paper (see "Print media specifications" on page 58).

• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the manual feeder.

• When printing on special media, you must follow the loading guidelines (see "Printing on special media" on page 26).

The table below shows the special media usable in each tray.

The media types are shown in the Printing Preferences. To get the highest printing quality, select the proper media type from the Printing Preferences window > Paper tab > Paper Type (see "Opening printing preferences" on page

If you select Envelope from the Printing Preferences window, but the printed images get easily erased, select Thick Envelope and try printing again. However, this might cause some noise when printing.

• When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:

- Weight: should not exceed 90 g/m2 otherwise; jams may occur.

- Construction: should lie flat with less than 6 mm curl and should not contain air.

(●: Supported)

- Condition: should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor damaged.

2. Learning the Basic Usage

Media and tray

- Temperature: should resist the heat and pressure of the machine during operation.

• 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.

• 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.

1 Acceptable 2 Unacceptable

Labels

To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser printers.

• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:

• 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.

• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm from the edges of the envelope.

• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.

- Adhesives: Should be stable at your machine’s fusing temperature. Check your machine’s specifications to view the fusing temperature (about 170°C (338°F)).

- 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.

2. Learning the Basic Usage

Media and tray

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.

Card stock/ Custom-sized paper

Preprinted paper

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.

• In the software application, set margins 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. Learning the Basic Usage

Media and tray

Setting the paper size and type

After loading paper in the paper tray, set the paper size and type.

Open the Printing Preferences (see "Opening printing preferences" on page

Otherwise, new toner cartridges or other supplies will be incompatible with your machine due to different configurations of toner cartridges and other supplies according to the specific country conditions.

Dell does not recommend using non-genuine Dell toner cartridge such as refilled or remanufactured toner. Dell cannot guarantee non-genuine Dell toner cartridge's quality. Service or repair required as a result of using non-genuine Dell toner cartridges will not be covered under the machine’s warranty.

3. Maintenance

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.

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.

- An environment with salty air.

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.

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.

• Do not store consumables in any of the following conditions:

- Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).

- Humidity range less than 20% and 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.

- An environment where corrosive gases are present.

Dell’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine caused by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or non-Dell brand toner cartridges.

3. Maintenance

Storing the toner cartridge

Estimated cartridge life

Estimated cartridge life the life of the toner cartridge (or imaging unit) 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

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 Toner LED 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.

• Before opening the top cover, close the output support first.

• 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.

3. Maintenance

Replacing the toner cartridge

• Before opening the top cover, close the output support first.

• 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.

• Shake the toner cartridge thoroughly, it will increase the initial print quality.

• Do not touch the green side of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

When a toner cartridge has reached the end of life, the machine will stop printing.

3. Maintenance

Replacing the toner cartridge

3. Maintenance

Cleaning the machine

If printing quality problems occur or if you use your machine in a dusty environment, you need to clean your machine regularly to keep it in the best printing condition and use your machine longer.

• Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or other strong substances can discolor or distort the cabinet.

• If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with toner, we recommend you use a cloth or tissue dampened with water to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in the air and might be harmful to you.

• During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the machine. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the machine clears and reduces these problems.

Cleaning the outside

Clean the machine cabinet with a soft, lint-free cloth. Dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into the machine.

Cleaning the machine

Cleaning the inside

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the machine. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the machine clears and reduces these problems.

• Use a dry lint-free cloth to clean the machine.

• If your machine has a power switch, turn the power switch off before cleaning the machine.

• Before opening the top cover, close the output support first.
