If  the amount  of toner in the cartridge is low, the  LED blinks  red.  You  can  set  the option for this  LED to
blink or not.
1. Install the driver. (See Installing USB  connected machine’s  driver  or Installing network connected machine’s  driver .)
2. You  can  launch it  from  the Start menu,  select  Programs or All Programs  > Dell  > Dell  Printers  > your printer
driver  name  > Printer Settings Utility .
3. Click  Toner Low Alert .  Select the appropriate setting  and  then  click   Apply.
Cleaning a 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 the best printing condition and  use your  machine longer.
Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials containing  large  amounts  of alcohol, solvent, 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 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.
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.
Printing a cleaning sheet ( Dell 1130n only)
If  you are experiencing blurred  or smeared  printouts, you can  clear  the problem by printing a  cleaning sheet,
provided  by your  machine.
To print the cleaning sheet:
In ready  mode, press  and  hold the 
 (cancel  button) for about  10  seconds.

							1. Turn the machine off and  unplug  the power cord. Wait  for the machine to  cool  down.
2. Open the front cover and  pull the toner cartridge out. Set  it  on a  clean flat surface
To prevent  damage  to  the toner cartridge,  do not expose it  to  light  for more  than  a  few  minutes. Cover
it  with a  piece  of paper, if necessary.
Do not touch the green surface underside  of the toner cartridge.  Use  the handle  on the cartridge to
avoid  touching this area.
3. With a  dry,  lint-free cloth, wipe away  any dust  and  spilled  toner from  the toner cartridge area.
While  cleaning the inside  of the machine,  be careful not to  damage  the transfer roller  or any other inside
parts.  Do not use solvents such as benzene or thinner  to  clean. Printing  quality problems can  occur and
cause damage  to  the machine.
4. Locate  the long strip of glass (LSU) inside  the machine and  gently  swab the glass to  see if dirt turns  the white
cotton black.
5. Reinsert the toner cartridge and  close  the front cover.
6. Plug in the power cord  and  turn  the machine on.
Storing the toner cartridge
Toner cartridges  contain components  that  are sensitive to  light, temperature, and  humidity.  Dell suggests  users  follow
the recommendations to  ensure the optimum performance, highest  quality,  and  longest life from  your  new  Dell toner
cartridge.
 
						

							Store this cartridge in the same  environment  as the printer it  will be used in;  this should be in controlled office
temperature  and  humidity conditions. The  toner cartridge should remain  in its  original, 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, always 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 they were  installed  in the machine.
Do not store consumables  in;
Temperature greater than  40°C  (104°F).
Humidity  range less than  20%  nor not 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.
An environment  with salty air.
Handling instructions
Do not touch the surface of the photosensitive  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.
Use of non-Dell and refilled toner cartridge
Dell 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.
Dell ’s printer warranty does  not cover damage  to  the machine caused by the use of a  refilled,  remanufactured,
or non- Dell brand toner cartridge.
Estimated cartridge life
Estimated  cartridge life (the life of the toner cartridge yield) depends on the amount  of toner that  print  jobs  require.
The  actual  print -out number may vary depending on the print  density of the pages you print  on,  operating
environment, printing interval, media type, and/or  media size.  For  example, if you print  a  lot  of graphics,  the
consumption  of the toner is high and  you may need  to  change  the cartridge more  often.
Tips for moving & storing your machine
When  moving the machine,  do not tilt  or turn  it  upside  down. Otherwise, the inside  of the machine may be
contaminated  by toner,  which can  cause damage  to  the machine or bad  print  quality.
When  moving the machine,  make  sure  at least two people are holding  the machine securely.
 
						

							Troubleshooting
This chapter gives  helpful information  for what  to  do if you encounter an error.
This chapter includes:
Redistributing toner
Tips for avoiding paper curls
Tips for avoiding paper jams
Clearing paper jams
Solving  other problems
Redistributing toner
When  the toner cartridge is near  the end  of its  life:
White streaks or light  printing occurs.
The   LED blinks  red.
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.
1. Open the front cover.
2. Pull the toner cartridge out.
3. Thoroughly roll the cartridge five or six times  to  distribute  the toner evenly inside  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.
Do not touch the green underside  of the toner cartridge.  Use  the handle  on the cartridge to  avoid  touching this
area.
4. Hold  the toner cartridge by the handle  and  slowly  insert  the cartridge into the opening in the machine.
Tabs  on the sides of the cartridge and  corresponding  grooves within  the machine will guide the cartridge into the
correct position  until it  locks  into place  completely.
