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.

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.
