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 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,  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.
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 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.
1. Turn the machine off and  unplug  the power cord. Wait  for the machine to  cool  down.
2. Open the front door  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  spilt  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 top of the cartridge compartment and  gently  clean the glass with a
swab.
5. Reinsert the toner cartridge and  close  the front door.
6. Plug in the power cord  and  turn  the machine on.
Cleaning the scan unit
Keeping the scan  unit  clean helps ensure the best possible copies.  We  suggest that  you clean the scan  unit  at the
start  of each  day and  during the day,  as needed.
1. Slightly dampen a  soft, lint-free cloth  or paper towel  with water.
2. Open the scanner  lid.
3. Wipe the surface of the scanner  glass and  the document feeder  glass until it  is clean and  dry.
1. Scanner  lid
2. Scanner  glass
3. Document feeder  glass
4. White bar
 
						

							4. Wipe the underside  of the scanner  lid  and  white bar until it  is clean and  dry.
5. Close  the scanner  lid.
Storing the Toner cartridge
Toner cartridges  are sensitive to  light, temperature, and  humidity.  It is recommended that  users  follow  the these
recommendations to  ensure 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 significantly 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 the toner in
Temperature greater than  40  °C (104  °F).
Humidity  range less than  20%  and  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 insides  of the machine may be
contaminated  by toner,  which can  cause damage  to  the machine or bad  print  quality.
You  requre at least two people to  move  the machine.
