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. LCD will
change to the writing mode. 10 minutes later you will be prompted to start the
printer again.
Error code: 009-360
Sometimes the Dell laser printer only recognizes the yellow toner as
‘missing’. Hence you need to replace the yellow 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. If cleaning
does not seem to work then the other option is to try replacing the printer
heads.
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.
