Figure 4: Check for Paper Jams
Print Drivers
Printer should operate on DELL PCL6 Driver.
For Bleeds and Color Smears
1. First, use the cleaning rod attached to the interior of the printer cartridge door to clean off
excess materials per the instructions in the User Manual.
2. If color bleed continues, print a contamination check page from the printer service menu. To
access the service menu, turn off the printer, hold the up and down arrows on the printer
selection pad, and then turn the printer on again. The printer screen should enter a service
menu. Select contamination check from this service menu or use the other menu options to
check functionality.
3. Remove and clean the feed belt and general interior components.
4. If contamination check still shows bleed marks after cleaning, then evaluate the drum life.
Each print drum should last for 50,000 pages, black cartridges should print 18,000, and color
cartridges will vary, though Dell rates them to last 12,000 pages.
5. If problems persist, contact Dell Support.
Color Cartridge Changes
The printer will notify you when the cartridge requires replacement.
Text Misalignment or Margin Creep
1. Sometimes not setting the paper in the tray precisely leads to margin creep that can result
in uneven margins. Fortunately, there is a relatively simple solution.
