Before Printing

Before attempting any printing operation, confirm the following:

Simultaneous printing, scanning and faxing
Your machine can print from your computer while sending or receiving a fax in memory or while scanning a document into the computer. Fax sending will not be stopped during printing from your computer. However, when the machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the printing operation, and then continues printing when copying or fax receiving has finished.
NOTE: Dell E514dw does not support the fax feature.
Firewall (Windows
If your computer is protected by a firewall and you are unable to network print, network scan, or PC-FAX, you may need to configure the firewall settings. If you are using any other personal firewall software, see the User's Guide for your software or contact the software manufacturer.

Change the Printer Emulation Mode

We recommend setting Printer Emulation mode using your application software or network server.

Your machine will receive print commands in a printer job language, or emulation. Different operating systems and applications send the print commands in different languages. Your machine can receive print commands in a variety of emulations and has an automatic emulation selection feature. When the machine receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the emulation mode. The default setting is Auto.
PCL Setting Mode
PCL Setting mode is the emulation mode in which this printer supports the PCL6 language of a Hewlett­Packard LaserJet laser printer. Many applications support this type of laser printer. Using this mode will allow your machine to run at its best with those applications.
