Reference Dell 3100 cn - prints light down left side

Had problems with my 3100 cn laser printer impression of light on the left side of each page, so I bought a new drum thinking that was the problem, but it did not work. I use Dell toner and toner levels are fine, so I wonder why the print quality is poor? Ideas please!

Thank you

Paul

paulchapman31,

Try to clean the toner by following the information below.

A wand of cleaning for cleaning the printer is installed on your printer.
1. open the front door.

2. remove the scroll bar that is inside the printer right up to the stop.
Access window cover slides open.

3. hold the cleaning rod and push the stem and shoot once to clean the inside of the printer.

4 move the slide to its original position.
5. close the front cover

  • When I go to print an email my printer only prints on the left side

    When I go to print emails on my HP deskjet printer 2540 it only prints the left side

    Tried to delete and re no installation, no joy.

    Maybe I put you driving, what I mean when I say that it only prints the left side of an e-mail message is it print from the left side

    made on the printed sheet, it includes the google index, as well as half of the e-mail message. It's like the A4 sheet wants to lift above to cover the e-mail and does not include the margin of google.

    I hope that makes sense?

    Maybe nothing to do with the printer?

    Kind regards

  • Reference Dell aio 962 printer suddenly stops and flashes "left cartridge incorrect".

    While the printer is working correctly, all of a sudden for no reason apparent stops and flashes "LEFT CARTRIDGE INCORRECTE. All attempts to address this problem have failed. Use the cartridge Dell XL Black series 5. Another cartridge change has no effect.

    Please advise as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Contact Dell, as the printer indicates a kind of hardware failure, it will not be a Windows fix for it.  Go to Dell web and some pilots and support, enter your printer model number and go from there.

  • Reference Dell V310 W printer malfunction

    My Dell V310 series printer prints 1 document "job" perfectly, regardless of the number of pages. But it will not print the next job. The document will be displayed in the queue with a status of "impression". When I try to delete the document, it reports "deletion", but the document remains in the print queue. If I restart the computer the document is no longer in the queue and if I select the document again it will print. But I cannot print another document, unless I restart the computer. Putting off the printer and has no effect. My computer is a Dell Studio XPS 9100 running Windows 7 and is connected to the printer via wireless LAN. I tried this on Dell laptop my wife also running Windows 7 with the same results. The printer reports that has the current drivers and firmware. I spent a lot of time today reload the printer and connect to the local network without success. The fact that it prints the first "work" perfectly and the printer sounds like its going to print the next job but 'hold' is above my pay grade to fix. Appreciate any help. WEarp

    WEarp,

    In the batch of December of Windows updates, Microsoft has installed Internet Explorer 11. IE11 caused printer problems.

    Open Internet Explorer, click on help, then click about words of Internet Explorer. It should show the version here. If you IE11, then go to control panel, Windows Update, updates installed, look for Internet Explorer 11. Click Internet Explorer 11, uninstall.

    Restart the computer when you are prompted. Then see if your printer works.

  • Reference Dell 3100cn Laser Printer

    I have a Dell 3100cn laser printer. I have a little problem, and hoping someone can help? When I print anything Black, it's perfect... But then I print what either with COLOR and it is spread, even when I print things black and color, the perfect black, the color of coating... Any help is appreciated...

    Hello TORT,

    I answered many of these questions on my previous post, but developers are part of the printing process and are attached to the carousel. Each color is individual, so a color can still be ok when others are affected. I always have in my recommendation to replace the unit based on the age and complexity of the repair required.

    Kind regards

  • M604 HP: Printer does not print on the left side of the page

    I have a new HP LaserJet M604. When I print, nothing appears on the left side of the page. I put in a new cartridge, but I have the same problem. I ran a cleaning page already. I printed from the console.

    Hello

    Given the description of your problem, it seems that the shutter of the laser scanner could be dislodged and partially blocking the laser path.  The laser scanner is just above the toner MAF and there is a metal shutter which is supposed to rotate with the opening of the upper lid to block the laser opening.  You can try to use a mirror inspection and a flashlight to see if the shutter partially blocks the trajectory of the laser.  If the shutter is dislodged, so it can be replaced but requires the removal of the top cover and the scanner laser.

    You feel comfortable, remove the lid and the laser scanner?  If so, I can send you an instruction on how to fix this.  If this isn't the case, then you need to contact HP support to send a technician.

    Be that as it may, I wan to make sure that your problem is solved.  Could you email me's private?

    Thank you

  • Reference Dell 5130 has 3 light vertical stripes in the print area.

    The printer has three light vertical stripes which seem to affect all the colors too.  Place the solid blocks for each of the colors (red, yellow, blue and black) k each color block exihbits light strips on the left of the printed area, one near the Center and the other near the right side when printing with a margin of 1 ".  Changing the margins does not affect the position of the light areas, only if they fall within the print area or not.  When the background is white no line or band appears in this area.   Any thought as to the cause and the cure.  All consumables are reporting that they have at least 15% life left or more.

    I tried the 32-bit version of Windows XP and the 64 bit version of Windows 7, even documents printing same results.

    Problem solved, we can't assume that all users perform basic maintenance when you change toner cartridges.  Run the cleaning pad in each of the slots for each color, as shown in the normal maintenance and cleaning information.  This should have been made at least after every change toner because was not not like these residue accumulated on surfaces resulting scratches.

  • Reference Dell V313w to printer all in one. Scanning documents record a new GB Flash Drive.

    Notice: part missing... directed to OCR on the printer CD, found the part. Must be an administrator to install, restarted in Administrator Mode. Try to install ask password for Windows, gave the password, it was wrong. Brain storm to change password, can't do that, need to change to new password old password. Where can I find the old password?  Another question: at the moment all the analyses and printer made a partial closing down. The power light does not turn off, but nothing works.  How to fix this?  I uninstalled and reinstalled and the printer is set as default, as said to do.

    Thank you for your help.

    AHarris343,

    Not knowing the brand and model of your computer and the operating system is not very useful.

    You can try...

    First run, delete print jobs to eliminate any print job stuck in the queue.

    Unplug the printer.

    Uninstall the printer, start, Control Panel, programs and features (Add/Remove Programs) Dell V313 printer, uninstall.

    Restart your computer.

    With online computer, insert the floppy disk to the printer and install the printer. Because the printer is already installed, you can select additional computer, and follow the instructions. This should install it the printer and OCR program.

    So I saved for different types of documents on a flashdrive (PDF, Word, Excel) and after having placed the flash stick drive in port on my Dell 1815n, an error pops up that States format not supported for files.

  • Reference Dell V715w stops printing after 1 post

    Hi I have a Dell v715w which stops printing after printing 1 job.  I mean it prints 1 whole work and then 5 minutes later if you are going to print anything else nothing happens.

    I have to remove all the dle *. * process, stop the spooler service, and then restart the spooler service for and then restart the print job.

    Any ideas?  Help?

  • Reference Dell V715W is printing very slow

    I recently installed the Dell V715W printer it installed ok and print ok, unless you want to print anything that has all the graphics on it... He takes seriously until 5 minutes to print one or two pages.  If you want to print just a word with text document, it prints quickly.  Any ideas on why printing is so slow?  I am running Windows 7 64 bit

    A few thoughts more...
    -would be good if you could test it with another wireless router in exclude
    -with certain printers, there is an option to basically 'print as image' (makes a huge difference when we had a similar problem with PDF - totally different Scenario however).

  • Truncated on the left side when printing of XPS documents.

    When I print an xps document, I lose the first characters of the print on the left side. It does not seem serious if I'm on XP or Windows 7. Looks good on the screen, even if the impression is completely to the left of the page.

    Maybe the file is created without a margin to the left so the limits of the printer it cut? If it is, how can I change the margin during the creation of the file? I tried different printers with the same result.

    Help!

    You can try to change the print settings and print options to check if it works:

  • Reference Dell 2135cn print very light drum cartridge replace?

    I have a Dell 2135cn printer.  It is 1 year.  It has started printing very light copies.  I replaced the toner cartridges, but he continued to print light.  I have ordered that a drum cartridge and who took care of the problem.  That was 3 months ago.  Now the printer prints very light once again, without success, when I replace the toner cartridges.  Do I need an another drum cartridge?  Is it normal to have to replace the drum cartridge so often.  What else could be the cause of this problem?  Thanks for your help.

    I just had the same experience - called Dell technical support.  I use the replacement toner.  Even if my 2135cn is 3 years old, he apparently has a support life support phone.  In any case, the fix was to enter in the Setup, maintenance, admin, non Dell toner - be sure to what it gives 'On '.  My was not, and as soon as I changed it to, black printing went from barely legible to acceptable.
