!±8± Dell Laser Printer Error Codes - How to Fix Them

The Dell Laser Printer is one of the best around in the market. However, many users complain about the numerous error codes they frequently receive. Here are some troubleshooting tips on fixing these errors effectively.

Error code: 004-332

This type of error code implies that you need to restart the printer again. However, do check to see if toner cartridges are seated in the proper position. Also ensure that they have been locked in. This is an error commonly associated with the Dell 3100cn laser printer.

Error code: 016-370

This is yet another error message asking you to restart the printer. You need to switch off the printer and then connect it via the USB cable. Press the hold and cancel buttons simultaneously. Then power on the printer again. On your LCD display you should typically see a message saying 'ready for download mode'. You will then need to initialize the firmware update process.

Error code: 009-360

Sometimes the Dell laser printer only recognizes the yellow toner as 'missing'. Hence you need to replace the Dell toner with a new one. It can happen when the toner is a remanufactured one with a different chip.

Error type: Not printing black text

This type of error happens because of a problem with the power supply. You need to check if the I/O cable is connected properly or not and that all connections are in place.

Error type: Printing text in red

At certain times you might be able to print perfectly well the first two times and then you see the text being covered in red color. This can happen if the unit is still not properly clean. You could try cleaning the tube.

Error message: Insert yellow toner

Sometimes in spite of replacing the yellow toner in your Dell 5100 cn laser printer you might still get this error message. Try to change the black cartridge. You could also check to see if the toner cartridges are locked appropriately.

Error message: Print head error

This type of error message typically happens when the printer head is not clean enough. You could try installing software that is used to clean the head of the printer. You could try clicking on 'start' then go to 'settings' and then 'printers'. Select your printer and right click on it and go to 'properties'. Check to see if there is any such software installed.

Error code: 1200

This error code is commonly associated with the Dell 922 printer. Usually you might see the cartridge moving front and back and slamming itself against the printer. You need to tighten the strings located on the back of the printer and then it should work fine.

Error message: Parallel port maybe used by another application

This is an error message commonly found when you are trying to make a second scanning operation. Try downloading the printer driver according to your specific operating system. You could also try setting a different parallel port in the BIOS.

Can Discount Ink Cartridges Void Your Warranty?

!±8± Can Discount Ink Cartridges Void Your Warranty?

If you listen to the printer companies, using discount ink cartridges can damage your printer and cause poor print quality. Is this justified or is it just their way of scaring you into buying the original brand of ink?

Frankly, it's a bit of both. While it's true that using the wrong type of ink can damage your printer, that doesn't mean that all discount cartridges are bad.

Most of today's inkjet printers use very specific types of ink. If you were to use the ink from an HP printer in an Epson cartridge, for example, the printing would be very poot and it could cause problems with your printer.

The key to getting good results with discount cartridges is to be sure that you get one that is compatible with your particular brand and model of printer. As long as you buy them from a reputable supplier and make sure you get the right model for your printer, you shouldn't have any problems.

The warranty issue is a whole different topic, however. Using discount cartridges in your printer will not void your warranty. The Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act ensures that using a different brand of ink in your printer cannot void your warranty.

This law was enacted several years ago, so it's not that common to hear this warning any more. Before the act was passed, this was a common warning from many printer companies, as a way to convince you to stick with the original (more expensive) ink cartridges.

Let's face it - the printer companies make their money by selling ink cartridges. They make little or nothing when you buy the printer itself - in fact, many times they lose money up front to get you to buy the ink over a longer period of time.

Keep this in mind when you're comparing ink prices and reading the various warnings about why you should be using the original cartridges.
