Print Media Guidelines
Print media is paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes. Your printer provides high
quality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the appropriate print media for your printer
helps you to avoid printing problems. This chapter provides information on how to help you make
print media selections, how to care for the print media, and how to load it in the tray 1, optional
tray 2, or MPF.

Paper
For the best print quality, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic, long grain paper. Try a sample of any
paper you are considering using with the printer before buying large quantities.
When loading paper, note the recommended print side on the paper package, and load the paper
accordingly. See "Loading Print Media in the Paper Tray" and "Using the MPF (Multi purpose
feeder)" for detailed loading instructions.

Paper Characteristics
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. We recommend that you
follow these guidelines when evaluating new paper stock.

Weight
The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 105 g/m2 (16 to 24 lb bond) grain
long in the DADF and from 60 to 105g/m2 (16 to 24 lb bond) grain long in the paper tray. Paper
lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb bond) may not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams. For best
performance, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) long grain paper.
For duplex printing, use 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb bond) paper.

Curl
Curl is the tendency of print media to curve at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding
problems. Curl usually occurs after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to
high temperatures. Storing paper unwrapped in humid conditions, even in the paper tray, can
contribute to paper curling prior to printing and can cause feeding problems.

Smoothness
The degree of smoothness of the paper directly affects the print quality. If the paper is too rough,
the toner does not fuse to the paper properly, resulting in poor print quality. If the paper is too
smooth, it can cause paper feeding problems. Smoothness should be between 100 and 300
Sheffield points; however, smoothness between 150 and 250 Sheffield points produces the best
print quality.

80
Moisture Content
The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed
the paper properly. Leave the paper in its original wrapper until you are ready to use it. This limits
the exposure of the paper to moisture changes that can degrade its performance.

Grain Direction
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either long grain,
running the length of the paper, or short grain, running the width of the paper.
For 60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended. For papers
heavier than 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond), grain short is preferred. For the MPF, 60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24
lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended.

Fiber Content
Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically pulped wood. This content
provides the paper with a high degree of stability resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and
better print quality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton possess characteristics that can result in
degraded paper handling.

Recommended Paper
To ensure the best print quality and feed reliability, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic paper.
Business papers designed for general business use may also provide acceptable print quality.
Always print several samples before buying large quantities of any type of print media. When
choosing any print media, consider the weight, fiber content, and color.
Use only paper which can withstand these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or
releasing hazardous emissions. Check with the paper manufacturer or vendor to determine
whether the paper you have chosen is acceptable for laser printers.

Unacceptable Paper
The following papers are not recommended for use with the printer:
• Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as
carbonless papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper
• Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer
• Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser
• Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater
than ± 0.09 in., such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms
• Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers
• Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers or curled papers

81
• Recycled papers containing more than 25% post-consumer waste that do not meet DIN 19 309
• Recycled paper having a weight less than 60 g/m2 (16 lb)
• Multiple-part forms or documents

Selecting Paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing.
To help avoid jams or poor print quality:
• Always use new, undamaged paper.
• Before loading paper, know the recommended print side of the paper you are using. This
information is usually indicated on the paper package.
• Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself.
• Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source; mixing results in jams.
• Do not use coated papers.
• Remember to change the paper size setting when you use a source that does not support auto
size sensing.
• Do not remove trays while a job is printing.
• Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the source.
• Flex paper back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level
surface.

Selecting Preprinted Forms and Letterhead paper

Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the printer:
• Use long grain papers for best results.
• Use only forms and letterheads printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing
process.
• Choose papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed.
• Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.

82
Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks which have been designed for use in xerographic
copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without melting or releasing
hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in the toner or the silicone in the
fuser. 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.
Preprinted papers such as letterheads must be able to withstand temperatures up to 180° C (356°
F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.

Printing on a Letterhead paper

Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the preprinted letterhead paper that
you have chosen is acceptable for laser printers.
Page orientation is important when printing on a letterhead paper. Use the following table for help
when loading a letterhead paper in the print media sources.

Selecting Prepunched Paper

Prepunched paper brands can differ in the number and placement of holes and in manufacturing
techniques.
Use the following guidelines to select and use prepunched paper:
• 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.
• Prepunched 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 that of standard
paper.

Transparencies
Try a sample of any transparencies you are considering using with the printer before buying large
quantities:
• Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to
withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting or
releasing hazardous emissions.
• Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies, as this can cause poor print quality.
• Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent the sheets from sticking together.
• Load one transparency at a time into the MPF.

84
Selecting Transparencies
The printer can print directly on transparencies which have been designed for use in laser printers.
Print quality and durability depends on the transparency used. Always print samples on the
transparencies you are considering before buying large quantities.
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether your transparencies are compatible
with laser printers that heat transparencies to 180° C (356° F). Use only transparencies that are
able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring, offsetting, or releasing
hazardous emissions.

Envelopes
Try a sample of any envelopes you are considering using with the printer before buying large
quantities. See "Using the MPF (Multi purpose feeder)" for instructions on loading an envelope.
When printing on envelopes:
• To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality envelopes that are designed
for use in laser printers.
• For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) paper. You can use up
to 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) weight for the MPF as long as the cotton content is 25 percent or
less.
• Use only new, undamaged envelopes.
• For best performance and to minimize jams, 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
• Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without sealing,
excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts
about the envelopes you are considering using, check with the envelope supplier.
• Adjust the width guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
• Load an envelope with the flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side. The
end of the envelope with the stamp area enters the MPF first.

85
See "Using the MPF (Multi purpose feeder)" for instructions on loading an envelope.

NOTE: You can improve the printing quality of envelopes by pulling down the rear door to
open and pushing the two blue pressure levers down. This instruction will be especially
helpful for DL and C5 size envelopes.

• A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the
envelopes.

Labels
Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. These labels are
supplied in letter size, A4 size, and legal size sheets. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock),
and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) and pressure of 25 pounds
per square inch (psi). You can load one label sheet at a time in the MPF.

86
Try a sample of any label you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large
quantity:
• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in
a jam. Partial sheets also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive, and
could void your printer and cartridge warranties.
• Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
• Do not print within 0.04 in. (1 mm) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between
die-cuts of the label.
• Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone
coating of the adhesive at least 0.04 in. (1 mm) away from edges. Adhesive material
contaminates your printer and could void your warranty.
• If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 0.125 in. (3 mm) strip should be removed
on the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.
• Remove a 0.125 in. (3 mm) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside
the printer.
• Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
• Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.

Card Stock
Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the moisture content,
thickness, and texture, that can significantly affect print quality. See "Identifying Print Media
Sources and Specifications" for information on the preferred weight for the grain direction of
print media.
Try a sample of any card stock you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a
large quantity:
• Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality
and cause print media handling or jamming problems.
• Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.
• Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the
printer. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the printer.
• We recommend the use of grain long card stock.

87
Storing Print Media
Use the following guidelines for proper print media storage. These help avoid print media feeding
problems and uneven print quality:
• For best results, 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 the edges do not buckle or curl.
• Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.

88
Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications
The following tables provide information on standard and optional sources, including the print
media sizes that you can select from the paper size menu and supported weights.
NOTE: If you use a print media size not listed, select the next larger size.

Selecting an Output Location
The printer has two output locations; the output tray (face down) and the rear door (face up).

Rear Door

Output Tray

To use the output tray, ensure that the rear door is closed. To use the rear door, open it.
NOTE: If paper coming out of the output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to
the rear door.
NOTE: To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear door while the printer is printing.

93
Printing to the Output Tray (Face down)
The output tray collects printed paper face-down, in the correct order. The tray should be used for
most print jobs.
If necessary, expand the paper output extension to keep the print media from falling off the output
tray.

Printing to the Rear Door (Face up)

Using the rear door, the paper comes out of the printer face up.
Printing from the MPF to the rear door provides a straight paper path. Using the rear door might
improve the output quality with special materials.
To use the rear door:
Open the rear door by pulling it.

94
CAUTION: The fuser area inside of the rear door of your printer becomes very hot when in use.
Take care when you access this area.

95
Loading Print Media in the Paper Tray
You can load approximately 250 sheets of plain paper in the tray 1 or the optional tray 2. If you
purchased the optional tray 2, see "Installing an Optional Tray 2" for installing instructions. For
faxing, you can use A4, letter or legal paper only. For copying or printing, you can use many
different types and sizes of paper; see "Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications".
Follow these instructions to load print media into the tray 1 or optional tray 2. These trays are
loaded the same way.
1 Pull open the paper tray and load paper with the print side face down.

You can load letterhead paper with the design side face down. The top edge of the sheet with
the logo should be placed at the front side of the tray.

For details about loading paper in the paper tray, see "Loading Paper".
NOTE: If you experience problems with paper feed, place the paper in the MPF.
NOTE: You can load previously printed paper. The printed side should be facing up with an
uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Note
that the print quality is not guaranteed.

96
Using the MPF (Multi purpose feeder)
Use the MPF to print transparencies, labels, envelopes or postcards in addition to making quick
runs of paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the paper tray.
Postcards, 3.5 by 5.83 in. (index) cards and other custom-sized materials can be printed with this
printer. The minimum size is 3.0 by 5.0 in. (76 by 127 mm) and the maximum size is 8.5 by 14 in.
(216 by 356 mm).
Acceptable print materials are plain paper with sizes ranging from 3.0 by 5.0 in. (76 by 127 mm)
to Legal, 8.5 by 14 in. (216 by 356 mm), the largest size acceptable, and weighing between 16 lb
and 43 lb.
NOTE: Always load only the print materials specified in the Specifications on "Paper
Specifications" to avoid paper jams and print quality problems.
NOTE: Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes and labels before loading them into the MPF.
To use the MPF:
1 Open the MPF and unfold the paper support extension, as shown.

2 If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before
loading.

For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your
fingers can cause print quality problems.

97
3 Load the print material with the side to be printed on facing up.

Depending on the paper type you are using, keep the following loading method:
• Envelopes: load them with the flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left
side.
• Transparencies: load them with the print side up and the top with the adhesive strip
entering the printer first.
• Labels: load them with the print size up and the top short edge entering the printer first.
• Preprinted paper: load with the design face up, top edge toward the printer.
• Card stock: load them with the print side up and the short edge entering the printer first.
• Pre printed paper: the printed side should be facing down with an uncurled edge toward
the printer.

98
4 Squeeze the width guide and adjust it to the width of the print material. Do not force too
much, or the paper will be bent, which will result in a paper jam or skew.

5 After loading paper, set the paper type and size for the MPF. See "Setting the Paper Type"
for copying and faxing or "Paper Tab" for Computer printing.
NOTE: The settings made from the printer driver override the settings on the operator panel.
CAUTION: Ensure that the rear door opens when you print on transparencies. If not, they may
tear while exiting the machine.
6 After printing, fold away the paper support extension and close the MPF.

Tips on using the MPF

• Load only one size of print material at a time in the MPF.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the MPF. This also
applies to other types of print materials.
• Print materials should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the MPF first and be
placed in the center of the tray.
• Always load only the print materials specified in "Print Media Guidelines" to avoid paper
jams and print quality problems.
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the MPF.
• When you print on 3 by 5 in. (76 by 127 mm) sized media on the MPF, open the rear door
for a straight paper path to avoid paper jams.
• Ensure that the rear door opens when you print on transparencies. If not, they may tear while
exiting the machine.

103
Tray Behavior
Tray Linking
Tray linking enables the automatic linking feature for trays when you load the same size and type
of print media in multiple sources. The printer automatically links the trays; when one tray is not
available for paper empty or mismatch, the printer will use the next available linked tray to feed
print media for the printing.
For example, if you have the same size and type of print media loaded in tray 2, the printer selects
print media from tray 2 until it becomes empty, and then the printer automatically feeds print
media from the next linked tray.
By linking all trays (standard and optional), you effectively create a single source with a capacity
of up to 550 sheets.
Make sure you load the same size and type of print media in each tray in order to link the trays.
Set the paper size and type for each tray.
To disable tray linking you can either choose unique paper size/type for each tray or using
operator panel to disable tray linking.
NOTE: You can use this feature in print, copy, and fax job.
NOTE: To prevent a paper jam, do not open tray 1 while the machine is printing from tray 2.
1 Press Setup Machine Setup from the home screen.
2 Press the Next ( ) button.
3 Press the up/down arrows to select Tray Behavior.
4 Press the up/down arrows to select Tray Linking.
5 Press the left/right arrows to On for enable and Off to disable tray linking.
6 Press the home icon ( ) to return to the Standby mode.

Substitute Size
This setting is used to determine whether the printer can substitute with another paper size when the

Advanced
True Type Options determines what the driver tells the printer about how to
image the text in your document. Select the appropriate setting according to the
status of your document.

• Download as Outline: When this option is selected, the driver will download
any TrueType fonts that are used in your documents, which is not stored
(resident) on your printer. If, after printing a document, you find that the fonts
did not print correctly, choose Download as bit image and resubmit your print
job. The Download as bit image setting is often useful when printing Adobe.
• Download as Bit Image: When this option is selected, the driver downloads
the font data as bitmap images. Documents with complicated fonts, such as
Korean or Chinese, print faster in this setting.
• Print as Graphics: When this option is selected, the driver downloads any
fonts as graphics. When printing documents with high graphic content and
relatively few TrueType fonts, printing performance (speed) may be enhanced
in this setting.
Use Printer Fonts
When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the printer uses the fonts that are stored in
its memory (resident fonts) to print your document, rather than downloading the
fonts that have been used in your document. Because downloading fonts takes
time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time. When using Printer
fonts, the printer will try to match the fonts used in your document to those
stored in its memory. If, however, you use fonts in your document that are very
different from those resident in the printer, your printed output will appear very
different from what it looks like on the screen.
If you click Reset, settings in the options returns to the default setting.

About Sharing the Printer on a Network
Locally-shared Printer
You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer, which is called the “host computer”
on the network. The printer can then be shared by other users on the network through a Windows
2000, XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, Vista, Windows 7, or Server 2008 R2 network printer
connection.

Wired Network-connected Printer

Your printer has a built-in network interface. For details, see "Connecting the printer to the
Network".

Printing Across a Network

Whether the printer is locally connected or network-connected, you need to install the Dell
2355dn Laser MFP software on each computer that prints documents using the printer.

Setting Up the Locally Shared Printer

You can connect the printer directly to a selected computer, which is called the “host computer,”
on the network. Your printer can be shared by other users on the network through a Windows
2000, XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, or Vista network printer connection.

In Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/ 7/ Server 2008 R2

and look for the shared name you assigned to the printer.
Now that the printer is shared, you can install the printer on network clients using the point and
print method or the Peer-to-Peer method.

Install the Shared Printer on Client Computers

Point and Print

This method is the best use of system resources. The print server handles driver modifications and
print job processing. This lets network clients return to their programs much faster.
If you use the Point and Print method, a subset of driver information is copied from the print
server to the client computer. This is just enough information to send a print job to the printer.
1 Right-click the Start button and point to Explore.
2 Double-click My Network Places or Network Neighborhood.

187
3 Double-click the host name of the printer server computer.

Receiving Faxes Using the DRPD Mode

“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which enables a user to use a single telephone
line to answer several different telephone numbers. The particular number someone uses to call
you on is identified by different ringing patterns, available in combinations of long and short
ringing sounds.

209
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax machine can “learn” the ring
pattern you designate to be answered by the FAX machine. This ringing pattern may be
recognized and answered as a FAX call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the
extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the extension telephone socket ( ) on
the back of your printer. You can easily suspend or change Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection at
any time.
Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option, Distinctive Ring service must be
installed on your telephone line by the telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern
Detection, you may need another telephone line at your location, dial your FAX number from
another line.

NOTE: DRPD must be set up again if you re-assign your fax number, or connect the printer to
another telephone line.
NOTE: After DRPD has been set up, call your fax number again to verify that the printer answers
with a fax tone. Then call a different number assigned to that same line to ensure the call is
forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the extension telephone
socket ( ) on the back of the printer.

210
Receiving Faxes in the Memory
Since your printer is a multi-tasking device, it can receive faxes while performing other tasks. If
you receive a fax while you are copying, printing, or run out of paper or toner, your printer stores
incoming faxes in the memory. As soon as you finish copying, printing, or resupply the
consumables, the printer automatically prints the fax.

Getting Started
The supplied Software and Documentation CD provides you with Dell's MFP driver package for
using your printer with a Linux computer.
Dell's MFP driver package contains printer and scanner drivers, providing the ability to print
documents and scan images. The package also delivers powerful applications for configuring
your printer and further processing of the scanned documents.
After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver package enables you to monitor a
number of MFP devices via USB port. The acquired documents can then be edited, printed on the
same local MFP or network printers, sent by e-mail, uploaded to an FTP site, or transferred to an
external OCR system.
The MFP driver package is supplied with a smart and flexible installation program. You do not
need to search for additional components that might be necessary for the MFP software: all
required packages will be carried onto your system and installed automatically; this is possible on
a wide set of the most popular Linux clones.

Using the Unified Driver Configurator
Unified Driver Configurator is a tool primarily intended for configuring MFP devices. Since an
MFP device combines the printer and scanner, the Unified Driver Configurator provides
options logically grouped for printer and scanner functions. There is also a special MFP port
option responsible for the regulation of access to an MFP printer and scanner via a single I/O
channel.
After installing the MFP driver, the Unified Driver Configurator icon will automatically be
created on your desktop.

Opening the Unified driver Configurator

Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners

Your printer may be connected to a host computer via the parallel port or USB port. Since the
MFP device contains more than one device (printer and scanner), it is necessary to organize
proper access of “consumer” applications to these devices via the single I/O port.
The Dell MFP driver package provides an appropriate port sharing mechanism that is used by
Dell printer and scanner drivers. The drivers address their devices via so-called MFP ports. The
current status of any MFP port can be viewed via the MFP Ports Configuration. The port sharing
prevents you from accessing one functional block of the MFP device, while another block is in
use.
When you install a new MFP printer onto your system, it is strongly recommended you do this
with the assistance of an Unified Driver Configurator. In this case you will be asked to choose
I/O port for the new device. This choice will provide the most suitable configuration for MFP’s
functionality. For MFP scanners I/O ports are being chosen by scanner drivers automatically, so
proper settings are applied by default.

253

Printing Quality Problems
The inside of the printer may be dirty or improper paper loading may reduce the print quality. See the table below to
clear the problem.

Condition Suggested solutions

Light or faded print If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page:
• The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. See
AaBbCc "Redistributing Toner". If this does not improve the print quality, install a new toner
cartridge.
AaBbCc
• The paper may not meet paper specifications; for example, the paper is too moist or too
AaBbCc rough. See "Paper Specifications".
AaBbCc • A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate that the toner cartridge needs
AaBbCc cleaning. See "Cleaning the Interior".
• The surface of the LSU part inside the printer may be dirty. Clean the LSU (see "Cleaning
the Interior").

Toner specks • The paper may not meet specifications; for example, the paper is too moist or too rough. See
"Paper Specifications".
AaBbCc • The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your printer. See "Cleaning the Interior".
AaBbCc • The paper path may need cleaning. See "Cleaning the Drum".
AaBbCc
AaBbCc
AaBbCc
Dropouts If faded areas, generally rounded, occur randomly on the page:
• A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try reprinting the job.
AaBbCc • The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has moist spots on its surface. Try a
AaBbCc different brand of paper. See "Paper Specifications".
AaBbCc • The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing process can cause some areas to reject toner. Try a
different kind or brand of paper.
AaBbCc • The toner cartridge may be defective. "Vertical repetitive defects" on the next page.
AaBbCc • If these steps do not correct the problems, contact a service representative.

306
Condition Suggested solutions

White Spots White spots appears on the page:

• The paper is too rough and a lot of dirt from a paper falls to the inner devices within the
machine, so the transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine. Contact a
service representative.
• The paper path may need cleaning. Contact a service representative.

Vertical lines • If black vertical streaks appear on the page, the drum inside the toner cartridge has probably
been scratched. Install a new toner cartridge. See "Replacing the Toner Cartridge".
AaBbCc • If white vertical streaks appear on the page, the surface of the LSU part inside the printer
AaBbCc may be dirty. Clean the LSU (see "Cleaning the Interior").
AaBbCc
AaBbCc
AaBbCc
Gray background If the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable:
• Change to lighter weight pages. See "Paper Specifications".
AaBbCc • Check the printer’s environment; very dry (low humidity) or high humidity (higher than 80%
AaBbCc RH) conditions can increase the amount of background shading.
AaBbCc • Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one. See "Replacing the Toner Cartridge".
AaBbCc
AaBbCc
Toner smear • Clean the inside of the printer. See "Cleaning the Interior".
• Check the paper type and quality. See "Paper Specifications".
• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See "Replacing the Toner Cartridge".

307
Condition Suggested solutions

Vertical repetitive If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page at even intervals:
defects • The toner cartridge may be damaged. If a repetitive mark occurs on the page, print a cleaning
sheet several times to clean the cartridge; see "Cleaning the Drum". After the printout, if you
still have the same problems, install a new toner cartridge. See "Replacing the Toner
Cartridge".
• Parts of the printer may have toner on them. If the defects occur on the back of the page, the
problem will likely correct itself after a few more pages.
• The fusing assembly may be damaged. Contact a service representative.

Background scatter Background scatter results from bits of toner distributed on the printed page.
• The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different batch of paper. Do not open
packages of paper until necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture.

A
• If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the printing layout to avoid printing
over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams can cause
problems.
• If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print
resolution through your software application or the printer properties.

Misformed characters • If characters are improperly formed and produce hollow images, the paper stock may be too
slick. Try a different paper. See "Paper Specifications".
• If characters are improperly formed and produce a wavy effect, the scanner unit may need
service. For service, contact a service representative.

Page skew • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. See "Paper Specifications".
AaBbCc • Ensure that the paper or other material is loaded correctly and the guides are not too tight or
AaBbC too loose against the paper stack.

Common Linux Problems

Condition Suggested solutions

The printer doesn’t print. • Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open MFP configurator and switch to
the Printers tab in Printers configuration window to look at the list of available printers.
Ensure that your printer is displayed on the list. If not, please, invoke Add new printer wizard
to set up your device.
• Check if the printer is started. Open Printers configuration and select your printer on the
printers list. Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains
“(stopped)” string, please, press the Start button. After that normal operation of the printer
should be restored. The “stopped” status might be activated when some problems in printing
occurred. For instance, this could be an attempt to print document when MFP port is claimed
by a scanning application.
• Check if the MFP port is not busy. Since functional components of MFP (printer and scanner)
share the same I/O interface (MFP port), the situation of simultaneous access of different
“consumer” application to the same MFP port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only
one of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device. The other “consumer” will
encounter “device busy” response. You should open MFP ports configuration and select the
port assigned to your printer. In the Selected port pane you can see if the port is occupied by
some other application. If this is the case, you should wait for completion of the current job or
should press Release port button, if you are sure that the present owner is not functioning
properly.
• Check if your application has special print option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified in
the command line parameter then remove it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select
“print” “Setup printer” and edit command line parameter in the command item.

one of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device. The other “consumer” will
encounter “device busy” response. This can usually happen while starting scan procedure, and
appropriate message box appears.
• To identify the source of the problem, you should open MFP ports configuration and select the
port assigned to your scanner. MFP port's symbol /dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 designation
displayed in the scanners’ options, /dev/mfp1 relates to LP:1 and so on. USB ports start at
/dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to /dev/mfp4 respectively and so forth sequentially. In
the Selected port pane you can see if the port is occupied by some other application. If this is
the case, you should wait for completion of the current job or should press Release port
button, if you are sure that the present port's owner is not functioning properly.

2 Grasp the control board cover and open it.

3 Remove a new memory DIMM from its antistatic package.

4 Holding the memory module by the edges, align the memory module on the slot at about a
30-degree tilt. Ensure that the notches of the module and the grooves on the slot fit each
other.

322
5 Press the memory module into the slot with care until you hear a “click”.

NOTE: The notches and grooves illustrated above may not match those on an actual DIMM
and its slot.

6 Replace the control board cover.

323
7 Reconnect the power cord and printer cable, and turn the printer on.
After installing the memory DIMM, printer drivers will automatically configure the updated
memory.

324

Paper Specifications
Overview
Your printer accepts a variety of print materials, such as cut-sheet paper (including up to 100
percent recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies and custom-size paper.
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain and moisture content, are important factors
affecting the printer’s performance and the output quality. Paper that does not meet the
guidelines outlined in this User’s Guide can cause the following problems:
• Poor print quality
• Increased paper jams
• Premature wear on the printer
NOTE: Some paper may meet all of the guidelines in this guide and still not produce satisfactory
results. This may be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity
levels, or other variables over which Dell has no control.
NOTE: Before purchasing large quantities of paper, ensure the paper meets the requirements
specified in this User’s Guide.
CAUTION: Using paper that does not meet these specifications may cause problems, requiring
repairs. These repairs are not covered by the Dell warranty or service agreements.

NOTE: Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some
types of thermography.
NOTE: Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.

Printer and Paper Storage Environment

Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation.
Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not
too dry or humid. Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while
cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove most of the
humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and
smudging. Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in a room. As
paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as
paper loses and gains moisture it can become distorted. This can cause paper jams.
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be used in a short time (about 3
months). Paper stored for long periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which can
cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to large supplies of paper.
Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened
packages of paper have more potential for environment damage, especially if they are not
wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.

339
The paper storage environment should be properly maintained to ensure optimum performance.
The required condition is 20° C to 24° C (68° F to 75° F), with a relative humidity of 4 percent to
55percent. The following guidelines should be considered when evaluating the paper’s storage
environment:
• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.
• The air should not be too dry or too humid.
• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof
wrapping. If the printer environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount of
paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.
