Select a scanning resolution from the Resolution pop-up menu. Higher resolutions take more memory and transfer

time, but produce a finer scanned image.

Scan Type

Select from a range of scan color depths.

• Black & White

Use for text or line art images.

• Gray (Error Diffusion)

Use for photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated gray images without

using true gray dots. Black dots are put in a specific pattern to give a gray appearance.)

• True Gray

Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more accurate because it uses up to 256 shades of gray.

• 256 Color

Use for simple color illustrations that do not use the full color spectrum. This mode uses up to 256 colors to

create images.

• 24bit Color

Use to create an image with the most accurate color reproduction. This mode uses up to 16.8 million colors to

scan the image, but it requires the most memory and has the longest transfer time.

Document Size

Select the exact size of your document from a selection of preset scan sizes.

112 Scan

• If you select Custom, you can specify the document size.

Adjust Image

Click the Adjust Image button to adjust other image qualities.

Brightness

Set the Brightness level by dragging the slider to the right or left to lighten or darken the image. If the scanned

image is too light, set a lower brightness level and scan the document again. If the image is too dark, set a higher

brightness level and scan the document again.

You can also type a value in the box to set the brightness.

Contrast

Increase or decrease the Contrast level by moving the slider to the right or left. An increase emphasizes dark and

light areas of the image, while a decrease reveals more details in gray areas. You can also type a value in the box

to set the contrast.

Reduce Noise

Improve and enhance the quality of your scanned images with this selection. The Reduce Noise option is

available when selecting the 24bit Color option and the 300 x 300 dpi, 400 x 400 dpi, or 600 x 600 dpi scan

resolutions.

Special Line Considerations

• Rollover Telephone Lines

A rollover telephone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that pass incoming calls to each

other if they are busy.

• Two-Line Telephone System

A two-line telephone system is nothing more than two separate telephone numbers on the same wall outlet.

• Convert Telephone Wall Outlets

• Install Your Dell Machine, a External Two-Line TAD and Two-Line Telephone

When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering device (TAD) and a two-line telephone, your

machine must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and at the TAD.

Rollover Telephone Lines

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw

A rollover telephone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines that pass incoming calls to each other

if they are busy.

This feature is available only in the USA and Canada.

The calls are usually passed down or 'rolled over' to the next available telephone line in a preset order.

Your machine can work in a rollover system only if it is the last number in the sequence, so the call cannot roll

away. Do not place the machine on any of the other numbers; when the other lines are busy and a second fax call is

received, the fax call would be transferred to a line that does not have a fax machine. Your machine will work best

on a dedicated line.

Two-Line Telephone System

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw

A two-line telephone system is nothing more than two separate telephone numbers on the same wall outlet.

This feature is available only in the USA and Canada.

The two telephone numbers can be on separate jacks (RJ11) or combined into one jack (RJ14). Your machine must be

plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14 jacks may be equal in size and appearance and both may contain four wires

(black, red, green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in a two-line telephone and see if it can access both lines. If

it can, you must separate the line for your machine.

161Fax

Convert Telephone Wall Outlets

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw

This feature is available only in the USA and Canada.

There are three ways to convert to an RJ11 jack. The first two ways may require assistance from the telephone

company. You can change the wall outlets from one RJ14 jack to two RJ11 jacks. Or, you can have an RJ11 wall outlet

installed and slave or jump one of the telephone numbers to it.

The third way is the easiest: Buy a triplex adapter. You can plug a triplex adapter into an RJ14 outlet. It separates the

wires into two separate RJ11 jacks (Line 1, Line 2) and a third RJ14 jack (Lines 1 and 2). If your machine is on Line 1,

plug the machine into L1 of the triplex adapter. If your machine is on Line 2, plug it into L2 of the triplex adapter.

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw

When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering device (TAD) and a two-line telephone, your

machine must be isolated on one line at both the wall jack and at the TAD.

• This feature is available only in the USA and Canada.

• The most common connection is to place the machine on Line 2, which is explained in the following steps. The

back of the two-line TAD must have two telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other labeled L2. You

will need at least three telephone line cords, the one that came with your machine and two for your external two-

line TAD. You will need a fourth line cord if you add a two-line telephone.

1. Place the two-line TAD and the two-line telephone next to your machine.

2. Plug one end of the telephone line cord for your machine into the L2 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the other

end into the LINE jack of the machine.

3. Plug one end of the first telephone line cord for your TAD into the L1 jack of the triplex adapter. Plug the

other end into the L1 or L1/L2 jack of the two-line TAD.

4. Plug one end of the second telephone line cord for your TAD into the L2 jack of the two-line TAD. Plug the

other end into the EXT. jack of the machine.

Additional Dialing Operations

• Dial Access Codes and Credit Card Numbers

Sometimes you may want to choose from several long-distance carriers when you send a fax. Rates may vary

distance carriers and credit card numbers as Address Book numbers.

Dial Access Codes and Credit Card Numbers

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw

Sometimes you may want to choose from several long-distance carriers when you send a fax. Rates may vary

depending on the time and destination. To take advantage of low rates, you can store the access codes of long-

distance carriers and credit card numbers as Address Book numbers.

You can store these long dialing sequences by dividing them and setting them up as separate Address Book numbers

in any combination. You can even include manual dialing using the dial pad.

For example: You might have stored '555' and '7000' in your machine as shown in the following table.

Applicable Models '555' stored in '7000' stored in

Telephone Services and External Devices

• Distinctive Ring

• Caller ID

• External TAD (Telephone Answering Device)

• External and Extension Telephones

Voice Mail

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw

This feature is available only in the USA and Canada.

If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Dell machine, Voice Mail and the Dell machine will

conflict with each other when receiving incoming calls.

For example, if your Voice Mail is set to answer after four rings and your Dell machine is set to answer after two

rings, then your Dell machine will answer first. This will prevent callers from being able to leave a message in your

Voice Mail.

168 Fax

Similarly, if your Dell machine is set to answer after four rings and your Voice Mail is set to answer after two rings,

then your Voice Mail will answer first. This will prevent your Dell machine from being able to receive an incoming

fax, since Voice Mail cannot transfer the incoming fax back to the Dell machine.

To avoid conflicts between your Dell machine and your Voice Mail service, do one of the following:

• Get the Distinctive Ring service from your telephone company. Distinctive Ring is a feature of your Dell

machine that allows a person with one line to receive fax and voice calls through two different telephone

numbers on that one line.

Dell uses the term ’Distinctive Ring,’ but telephone companies market the service under a variety of names, such

as Custom Ringing, Personalized Ring, Smart Ring, RingMaster, Ident-A-Ring, Ident-A-Call, Data Ident-A-Call,

Teen Ring, and SimpleBiz Fax & Alternate Number Ringing. This service establishes a second telephone number

on the same line as your existing telephone number, and each number has its own ring pattern. Typically, the

original number rings with the standard ring pattern and is used for receiving voice calls, and the second number

rings with a different ring pattern and is used for receiving faxes.

• Set your Dell machine’s Receive Mode to "Manual". Manual Mode requires you answer every incoming call if you

want to be able to receive a fax. If the incoming call is a telephone call, then complete the call as you normally

would. If you hear fax sending tones you must transfer the call to the Dell machine.

Unanswered fax and voice calls will go to your Voice Mail.

NOTE: You must pay for your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service before you program the machine to work

with it.

NOTE: Contact your telephone company for availability and rates.

What does your telephone company’s ‘Distinctive Ring’ do?

Your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service allows you to have more than one number on the same telephone

line. If you need more than one telephone number, it is cheaper than paying for an extra line. Each telephone number

has its own distinctive ring pattern, so you will know which telephone number is ringing. This is one way to have a

separate telephone number for your machine.

NOTE: Contact your telephone company for availability and rates.

What does Dell’s ‘Distinctive Ring’ do?

The Dell machine has a Distinctive Ring feature that allows you to use your machine to take full advantage of the

telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service. The new telephone number on your line can just receive faxes.

NOTE: You must pay for your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service before you program the machine to work

169Fax

with it.

Do you have Voice Mail?

If you have Voice Mail on the telephone line that you will install your new machine on, there is a strong possibility

that Voice Mail and the machine will conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls. However, the

Distinctive Ring feature allows you to use more than one number on your line, so both Voice Mail and the machine

can work together without any problems. If each one has a separate telephone number, neither will interfere with the

other’s operations.

If you decide to get the Distinctive Ring service from the telephone company, you must register the new Distinctive

Ring pattern they give you. This is so your machine can recognize its incoming calls.

NOTE: You can change or cancel the Distinctive Ring pattern at any time. You can switch it off temporarily, and turn it

back on later. When you get a new fax number, make sure you reset this feature.

Before you choose the ring pattern to register

You can only register one Distinctive Ring pattern with the machine. Some ring patterns cannot be registered. The

ring patterns below are supported by your Dell machine. Register the one your telephone company gives you.

Ring Pattern Rings

1 short-short or long-long

2 short-long-short

3 short-short-long

4 very long (normal pattern)

NOTE: Ring Pattern #1 is often called Short-Short and is the most commonly used.

NOTE: If the ring pattern you received is not on this chart, contact your telephone company and ask for one that is

shown.

• The machine will only answer calls to its registered number.

• The first two rings are silent on the machine. This is because the fax must <<listen>> to the ring pattern (to

compare it to the pattern that was ‘registered’). (Other telephones on the same line will ring.)

• If you program the machine correctly, it will recognize the registered ring pattern of the ‘fax number’ within two

ring patterns and then answer with a fax tone. When the ‘voice number’ is called, the machine will not answer.

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw

This feature is available only in the USA and Canada.

After you set the Distinctive Ring feature to On, your Distinctive Ring number will receive faxes automatically. The

receive mode is automatically set to Manual and you cannot change it to another receive mode while Distinctive

Ring is set to On. This ensures the Dell machine will only answer the Distinctive Ring number and not interfere

when your main telephone number is called.

• The # Unavailable message means the call originated outside your Caller ID service area.

• The Private Call message means the caller has intentionally blocked transmission of Caller ID information.

Call your telephone company for more information.

Once you answer a call, the Caller ID information disappears from the LCD and is stored in Caller ID memory.

NOTE: The Caller ID service varies with different carriers. Contact your local telephone company to learn about the

service available in your area.

External TAD (Telephone Answering Device)

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw

You can connect an external Telephone Answering Device (TAD) to the same line as your machine. When the TAD

answers a call, your machine will “listen” for the CNG (fax calling) tones sent by a sending fax machine. If it hears

them it will take over the call and receive the fax. If it does not hear them, it will let your TAD take a voice message

and the display will show Telephone.

The external TAD must answer within four rings (we recommend setting it to two rings). This is because your

machine cannot hear the CNG tones until the external TAD has picked up the call. The sending machine will send

CNG tones for only eight to ten seconds longer. We do not recommend using the toll saver feature on your external

TAD if it needs more than four rings to activate it.

Unless you are using Distinctive Ring, the TAD must be connected to the EXT. jack of the machine.

• If you subscribe to your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service:

You may connect an external TAD to a separate wall jack only if you subscribe to your telephone company’s

Distinctive Ring service, have registered the distinctive ring pattern on your machine, and use that number as a

fax number. The recommended setting is at least four rings on the external TAD when you have the telephone

company’s Distinctive Ring service. You cannot use the Toll Saver setting.

• If You Do Not Subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Service:

You must plug your TAD into the EXT. jack of your machine. If your TAD is plugged into a wall jack, both your

machine and the TAD will try to control the telephone line. (See the illustration.)

172 Fax

IMPORTANT

DO NOT connect a TAD elsewhere on the same telephone line.

NOTE: If you have problems receiving faxes, reduce the Ring Delay setting on your external TAD.

Connect an External TAD

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw

The external TAD must be plugged into the back of the machine, into the jack labeled EXT. Your machine cannot

work correctly if you plug the TAD into a wall jack (unless you are using Distinctive Ring).

1. Plug the telephone line cord from the telephone wall jack into the back of the machine, in the jack labeled

LINE.

2. Plug the telephone line cord from your external TAD into the back of the machine, in the jack labeled EXT.

(Make sure this cord is connected to the TAD at the TAD’s telephone line jack, and not its handset jack.)

3. Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The machine’s Ring Delay setting does not apply.)

4. Record the outgoing message on your external TAD.

5. Set the TAD to answer calls.

6. Set the Receive Mode on your machine to External TAD.

Record an Outgoing Message (OGM) on the External TAD

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw

1. Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. This allows your machine time to listen for fax

tones.

2. Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.

3. End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for people sending manual faxes. For example:

“After the beep, leave a message or press *51 and Start to send a fax.”

NOTE: We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5 second silence because the machine cannot hear fax

tones over a loud voice. You may try leaving out this pause, but if your machine has trouble receiving faxes, then

you should re-record the OGM to include it.

Multi-line Connections (PBX)

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw

We suggest you ask the company who installed your PBX to connect your machine. If you have a multi line system

we suggest you ask the installer to connect the unit to the last line on the system. This prevents the machine being

activated each time the system receives telephone calls. If all incoming calls will be answered by a switchboard

operator we recommend setting the Receive Mode to Manual.

We cannot guarantee that your machine will operate correctly under all circumstances when connected to a PBX.

Any difficulties with sending or receiving faxes should be reported first to the company who handles your PBX.

Network

To connect your machine to your wireless network, we recommend using the Installer CD-ROM.

• Before Configuring Your Dell Machine for a Wireless Network

• Configure Your Machine for a Wireless Network Using the One Push Method of Wi-Fi Protected Setup™

(WPS) or AOSS™

• Configure Your Machine for a Wireless Network Using the PIN Method of Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS)

If your wireless LAN access point/router supports WPS, you can use the Personal Identification Number (PIN)

Method to configure your wireless network settings.

Before Conﬁguring Your Dell Machine for a Wireless Network

Related Models:Dell E514dw / Dell E515dw

Before attempting to configure a wireless network, confirm the following:

• To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Dell machine as close to

the wireless LAN access point/router as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between

the two devices and interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your

documents.

Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and

applications. If you are printing large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large graphics,

you may want to consider selecting wired Ethernet for faster data transfer, or USB for the fastest throughput

speed.

• Although the Dell machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection method

can be used at a time. However, a wireless network connection and Wi-Fi Direct connection, or a wired

network connection (supported models only) and Wi-Fi Direct connection can be used at the same time.

• Before configuring wireless settings, you must know your Network name (SSID) and Network Key.

Conﬁgure Your Machine for a Wireless Network Using the One Push Method of Wi-

Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) or AOSS™

Fax Using the Internet (I-Fax)

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw

With Dell's I-Fax program, you can send and receive fax documents using the Internet as the transport mechanism.

Documents are transmitted in email messages as attached TIFF-F files. Your computer can send and receive

documents as long as it has an application that can generate and view TIFF-F files. You can use any TIFF-F viewer

application. Documents sent via the machine will be converted into a TIFF-F format automatically. If you want to

send and receive messages to and from your machine, your computer's email application must support Multipurpose

Internet Mail Extensions (MIME).

(Dell E515dn/Dell E515dw)

Important Information about I-Fax

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw

I-Fax communication on a LAN is very similar to communication via email; however, it is different from fax

communication using standard phone lines. The following is important information for using I-Fax:

• Factors such as the receiver's location, structure of the LAN and how busy the circuit (such as the Internet) is

219Network

may cause the system to take a longer time than usual to send an error mail.

• When sending confidential documents, we recommend using standard phone lines instead of the Internet (due

to its low level of security).

• If the receiver's mail system is not MIME-compatible, you cannot use I-Fax to send documents. If possible, find

out in advance, and note that some servers will not send an error reply.

• If a document is too large to send via I-Fax, it may not reach the receiver.

• You cannot change the font or size of the text in any Internet mail you receive.

Initial Setup for Email or I-Fax

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw

Before sending your I-Fax, use the control panel or Web Based Management to configure the following optional

items:

Available Services

When you want your computer to print to the Dell print server, you must use a resource, also known as a 'service.'

The Dell print server provides these predefined services:

Service (Example) Deﬁnition

BINARY_P1 TCP/IP binary

TEXT_P1 TCP/IP text service (adds carriage return after each line feed)

PCL_P1 PCL service (switches PJL-compatible machine to PCL mode)

DELLxxxxxx*1 TCP/IP binary

DELLxxxxxx_AT*1 PostScript® service for Macintosh

POSTSCRIPT_P1 PostScript® service (switches PJL-compatible machine to PostScript® mode)

*1: Where "xxxxxx" is the first six digits of your machine's MAC Address (Ethernet Address).

Other Ways to Conﬁgure the IP Address

• Configure the IP Address Using DHCP

• Configure the IP Address Using BOOTP

• Configure the IP Address Using RARP

• Configure the IP Address Using APIPA

• Configure the IP Address Using ARP

Conﬁgure the IP Address Using DHCP

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address

allocation. If you have a DHCP server on your network, the print server obtains its IP address from the DHCP server

automatically and registers its name with any RFC 1001- and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, you must set the Boot Method to Static so that the print

server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these

systems.

To change the Boot Method, use the machine's control panel Network menu or Web Based Management.

235Network

Conﬁgure the IP Address Using BOOTP

Before you configure the IP address using Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), you must set the machine's Boot Method to

BOOTP. To change the Boot Method, use the machine's control panel Network menu.

BOOTP is an alternative to Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) that has the advantage of allowing

configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. To use BOOTP to configure the IP address, make sure BOOTP is

installed and running on your host computer (it should appear in the /etc/services file on your host as a real

service; type man bootpd or see your system documentation for information). BOOTP is usually started up via the

/etc/inetd.conf file, so you may need to enable it by removing the "#" in front of the bootp entry in that file.

For example, a typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file would be:

#bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -i

Depending on the system, this entry might be called "bootps" instead of “bootp”.

NOTE: To enable BOOTP, use an editor to delete the "#" (if there is no "#," then BOOTP is already enabled). Then edit

the BOOTP conﬁguration ﬁle (usually /etc/bootptab) and enter the name, network type (1 for Ethernet), MAC

Address (Ethernet Address) and the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the print server. Unfortunately, the

exact format for doing this is not standardized, so you will need to see your system documentation to determine how

to enter this information (many UNIX® systems also have template examples in the bootptab ﬁle that you can use for

reference). Some examples of typical /etc/bootptab entries include:

DELL310107 1 00:80:77:31:01:07 192.168.1.2

and:

DELL310107:ht=ethernet:ha=008077310107:\ip=192.168.1.2:

Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to BOOTP requests if you have not included a

download filename in the configuration file. If this is the case, create a null file on the host and specify the name of

this file and its path in the configuration file.

As with RARP, the print server will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the machine is powered on.

Conﬁgure the IP Address Using RARP

Before you configure the IP address using Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP), you must set the machine's

Boot Method to RARP. To change the Boot Method, use the machine's control panel or Web Based Management.

The Dell print server's IP address can be configured using the RARP facility on your host computer. This is done by

editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can create it) with an entry similar to the following:

00:80:77:31:01:07 DELL008077310107

where the first entry is the MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and the second entry is the name of

the print server. (The name must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file.)

If the RARP daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system, the command can be rarpd, rarpd -a,

in.rarpd -a, or another command; type man rarpd or see your system documentation for additional information).

To verify that the RARP daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX® based system, type the following command:

ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd

For AT&T UNIX®-based systems, type:

ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd

The Dell print server will get the IP address from the RARP daemon when the machine is powered on.

236 Network

Conﬁgure the IP Address Using APIPA

The Dell print server supports the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol. With APIPA, DHCP clients

automatically configure an IP address and subnet mask when a DHCP server is not available. The device selects its

own IP address in the range 169.254.1.0 through 169.254.254.255. The subnet mask is automatically set to 255.255.0.0

and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0.

By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled. To disable the APIPA protocol, use the machine's control panel or Web

Based Management.

Conﬁgure the IP Address Using ARP

If your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) command. The

ARP command is available on Windows® systems that have TCP/IP installed and UNIX® systems. To use ARP, type

the following command:

arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress

ipaddress

Where ethernetaddress is the MAC Address (Ethernet Address) of the print server and ipaddress is the IP

address of the print server.

For example:

Windows® systems

Windows® systems require the hyphen (dash) "-" character between each digit of the MAC Address (Ethernet

Address).

arp -s 192.168.1.2 00-80-77-31-01-07

ping 192.168.1.2

UNIX®/Linux systems

Typically, UNIX® and Linux systems require the colon ":" character between each digit of the MAC Address

(Ethernet Address).

arp -s 192.168.1.2 00:80:77:31:01:07

ping 192.168.1.2

NOTE: You must be on the same Ethernet segment to use the ARP command, that is, there cannot be a router be-

tween the print server and operating system.

If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods to enter the IP address. If your administrator has conﬁgured

the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP, your Dell print server can receive an IP address from

any one of these IP address allocation systems, so you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command

works only once. For security reasons, when you have successfully conﬁgured the IP address of a Dell print server

using the ARP command, you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address. The print server will ignore

any attempts to do this. To change the IP address again, use Web Based Management, or perform a factory reset on

the print server, which will then allow you to use the ARP command again.

Reset the Network Settings to the Factory Settings

You can use your machine's control panel to reset the print server to its default factory settings. This resets all

information, such as the password and IP address.

Boot Method

This selection controls how the machine obtains an IP address.

Auto

In this mode, the machine will scan the network for a DHCP server. If it can find one, and if the DHCP server

is configured to allocate an IP address to the machine, then the IP address supplied by the DHCP server will be

used.

If no DHCP server is available, the IP Address is set using the APIPA protocol. After the machine is initially

powered ON, it may take a few minutes for the machine to scan the network for a server.

Static

In this mode, the machine's IP address must be manually assigned. When the IP address is entered, it is locked to

the assigned address.

If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP, you must set the BOOT Method

to Static so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from trying to obtain an

IP address from any of these systems.

To change the BOOT Method, use the machine's control panel or Web Based Management.

IP Address

This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have selected a BOOT Method of Static, type the IP

address that you wish to assign to the machine (check with your network administrator for the IP address to use). If

you have selected a method other than Static, the machine will attempt to determine its IP address using the DHCP,

BOOTP, or RARP protocols.

The default IP address of your machine will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme of

your network. We recommend contacting your network administrator for an IP address that is compatible with the

network to which your machine is connected.

Before Using Network Security Features

Your Dell machine employs some of the latest network security and encryption protocols available today. These

network features can be integrated into your overall network security plan to help protect your data and prevent

unauthorized access to the machine.

NOTE: We recommend disabling the FTP and TFTP protocols. Accessing the machine using these protocols is not

secure. However, note that if you disable FTP, the Scan to FTP feature will be disabled.

251Security

Supported Security Protocols and Features

• Security Protocols

• Security Methods for Sending and Receiving Email

• Manage Your Network Machine Securely Using Web Based Management (Web Browser)

To manage your network machine securely, you must use the management utilities with security protocols.

Security Protocols

SNMPv3

The Simple Network Management Protocol version 3 (SNMPv3) provides user authentication and data encryption to

manage network devices securely.

Security Methods for Sending and Receiving Email

NOTE: Conﬁgure the settings for these security methods using Web Based Management.

SMTP Authentication (SMTP-AUTH)

SMTP-AUTH expands SMTP (the Internet email sending protocol) to include an authentication method that

ensures that the true identity of the sender is known.

Authenticated Post Ofﬁce Protocol (APOP)

APOP expands POP3 (the Internet receiving protocol) to include an authentication method that encrypts the

password when the client receives email.

IMAP4 over SSL

IMAP4 over SSL enables receiving encrypted email using SSL.

Manage Your Network Machine Securely Using Web Based Management (Web

Browser)

To manage your network machine securely, you must use the management utilities with security protocols.

1. Start your web browser.

2. Type "http://machine's IP address" in your browser's address bar (where "machine's IP address" is the machine's

IP address).

3. No password is required by default. Type a password if you have set one, and then click .

NOTE: If you use the SNMPv3 protocol, follow the steps below.

4. Click the Network tab.

5. Click Protocol.

6. Make sure the SNMP setting is enabled, and then click Advanced Setting of SNMP.

7. You can configure the SNMP settings.

We have three selections for SNMP Mode of Operation.

• SNMP v1/v2c read-write access

In this mode, the print server uses version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol. You can use all Dell

applications under this mode. However, it is not secure since it will not authenticate the user and the data will

252 Security

not be encrypted.

• SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access

In this mode, the print server uses the read-write access of version 3 and the read-only access of version 1 and

version 2c of the SNMP protocol.

NOTE: When you use the SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access mode, some Dell

applications that access to the print server do not work correctly since they authorize the read-only access of

version 1 and version 2c. If you want to use all applications, use the SNMP v1/v2c read-write access mode.

• SNMPv3 read-write access

With this mode, the print sever uses version 3 of the SNMP protocol. If you want to manage the print server

securely, use this mode.

NOTE: When you use the SNMPv3 read-write access mode, note the following:

• You can manage the print server using Web Based Management only.

• All applications that use SNMPv1/v2c will be restricted. To allow the use of SNMPv1/v2c applications,

use SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access or SNMP v1/v2c read-write access mode.

Send or Receive an Email Securely

• Configure Email Sending or Receiving Using Web Based Management

• Send an Email with User Authentication

Conﬁgure Email Sending or Receiving Using Web Based Management

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw

We recommend using Web Based Management to configure secured email sending with user authentication.

1. Start your web browser.

2. Type "http://machine's IP address" in your browser's address bar (where "machine's IP address" is the machine's

IP address).

For example: http://192.168.1.2

NOTE: If you are using a Domain Name System or enable a NetBIOS name, you can type another name, such as

"SharedPrinter" instead of the IP address.

• For example:

http://SharedPrinter

If you enable a NetBIOS name, you can also use the node name.

• For example:

http://DELL000499

The NetBIOS name can be found in the Network Conﬁguration Report.

NOTE: For Macintosh, access Web Based Management by clicking the machine's icon on the Status Monitor

253Security

screen.

3. No password is required by default. Type a password if you have set one, and then click .

4. Click the Network tab.

5. Click Protocol in the left navigation bar.

6. In the POP3/IMAP4/SMTP field, click Advanced Setting and make sure the status of POP3/IMAP4/SMTP is

Enabled.

7. Configure the POP3/IMAP4/SMTP settings.

• For more information, see the Help text in Web Based Management.

• Confirm that the email settings are correct after configuration by sending a test email.

• If you do not know the POP3/IMAP4/SMTP server settings, contact your network administrator or Internet

Service Provider (ISP).

8. When finished, click Submit.

The Test Send/Receive E-mail Conﬁguration dialog box appears.

9. Follow the instructions in the dialog box to test the current settings.

Send an Email with User Authentication

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw

Your Dell machine supports the SMTP-AUTH method to send email via an email server that requires user

authentication. This method prevents unauthorized users from accessing the email server.

You can use SMTP-AUTH for email notification, email reports and I-Fax.

NOTE: We recommend using Web Based Management to conﬁgure the SMTP authentication.

Email Server Settings

You must configure your machine's SMTP authentication method to match the method used by your email server.

For details about your email server settings, contact your network administrator or Internet Service Provider (ISP).

NOTE: To enable SMTP server authentication: in the Web Based Management POP3/IMAP4/SMTP screen, under

Server Authentication Method, you must select SMTP-AUTH.

265Troubleshooting

The machine does not print on both sides

of the paper even though the printer driver

setting is 2-sided.

Check the paper size setting in the printer driver. You must select Letter, Legal or

Folio paper that is 16 to 28 lb (60 to 105 g/m2).

Print speed is too slow. Try changing the printer driver setting. The highest resolution needs longer data

processing, sending and printing time.

The machine does not feed paper. If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled,

straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over and

put it back in the paper tray.

Document Setup menu of your application.

Telephone and Fax Problems

Related Models:Dell E515dn / Dell E515dw

Telephone Line or Connections

Difﬁculties Suggestions

Dialing does not work. (No dial tone) Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged

into the telephone wall jack and the LINE jack of the machine. If you subscribe

to DSL, VoIP or MagicJack services, call your service provider for connection

instructions.

(Available only for some countries.)

Change the Tone/Pulse setting.

Send a manual fax by pressing Hook button, and dialing the number. Wait to

hear fax-receiving tones before pressing Start button.

If there is no dial tone, connect a known working telephone and telephone line

cord to the jack. Then lift the external telephone’s handset and listen for a dial

tone. If there is still no dial tone, ask your telephone company to check the line

and/or wall jack.

The machine does not answer when called. Make sure the machine is in the correct receive mode for your setup.

Check for a dial tone. If possible, call your machine to hear it answer. If there is

still no answer, check that the telephone line cord is plugged into the telephone

wall jack and the LINE jack of the machine. If there is no ringing when you call

your machine, ask your telephone company to check the line.

Handling Incoming Calls

Difﬁculties Suggestions

266 Troubleshooting

Sending a Fax Call to the machine. If you answered on an extension telephone, press your Fax Receive Code (the

factory setting is *51). If you answered on the external telephone (connected to

the EXT. jack), press Start button to receive the fax.

When your machine answers, hang up.

Custom features on a single line. If you have Call Waiting, Call Waiting/Caller ID, Caller ID, RingMaster, Voice

Mail, an answering machine, an alarm system or other custom feature on a single

telephone line with your machine, it may create a problem sending or receiving

faxes.

For Example: If you subscribe to Call Waiting or some other custom service and

its signal comes through the line while your machine is sending or receiving a

fax, the signal can temporarily interrupt or disrupt the faxes. Dell’s ECM (Error

Correction Mode) feature should help overcome this problem. This condition is

related to the telephone system industry and is common to all devices that send

and receive information on a single, shared line with custom features. If avoiding

a slight interruption is crucial to your business, we recommend using a separate

telephone line with no custom features.

Receiving Faxes

Difﬁculties Suggestions

Cannot

receive a

fax.

Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged into the telephone wall jack and

the LINE jack of the machine. If you subscribe to DSL, VoIP or MagicJack services, call your service provider

for connection instructions. To lower the modem speed and turn off ECM (error correction mode), change the

telephone line interference / VoIP settings.

Make sure your machine has a dial tone by pressing Hook key or Hook button in Fax mode. If you hear static or

interference on your fax line, contact your local telephone provider.

Make sure the machine is in the correct Receive Mode. This is determined by the external devices and telephone

subscriber services you have on the same line as the Dell machine.

• If you have a dedicated fax line and want your Dell machine to automatically answer all incoming faxes, you

should select Fax only mode.

• If your Dell machine shares a line with an external answering machine, you should select the External TAD

mode. In External TAD mode, your Dell machine will automatically receive incoming faxes and voice callers

will be able to leave a message on your answering machine.

• If your Dell machine shares the line with a Voice Mail subscriber service, see

Related Information

: Voice Mail

• If your Dell machine is on a line with the Distinctive Ring subscriber service, see

Related Information

Distinctive Ring

• If your Dell machine shares a line with other telephones and you want it to automatically answer all incoming

faxes, you should select the Fax/Tel mode. In Fax/Tel mode, your Dell machine will automatically receive

faxes and produce a pseudo/double-ring to alert you to answer voice calls.

• If you do not want your Dell machine to automatically answer any incoming faxes, you should select the

Manual mode. In Manual mode, you must answer every incoming call and activate the machine to receive

faxes.

Another device or service at your location may be answering the call before your Dell machine answers. To test

this, lower the ring delay setting:

• If the Receive Mode is set to Fax Only or Fax/Tel, reduce the Ring Delay to 1 ring.

See

Related Information

: Set the Number of Rings Before the Machine Answers (Ring Delay)

• If the Receive Mode is set to External TAD, reduce the number of rings programmed on your answering

machine to 2.

• If the Receive Mode is set to Manual, DO NOT adjust the Ring Delay setting.

267Troubleshooting

Have someone send you a test fax:

• If you received the test fax successfully, your machine is operating correctly. Remember to reset your Ring

Delay or answering machine setting back to your original setting. If receiving problems recur after resetting

the Ring Delay, then a person, device, or subscriber service is answering the fax call before the machine has a

chance to answer.

• If you were not able to receive the fax, then another device or subscriber service may be interfering with your

fax reception or there may be a problem with your fax line.

If you are using a telephone answering machine (External TAD mode) on the same line as the Dell machine,

make sure your answering machine is set up correctly.

1. Plug the telephone line cord directly from the wall telephone jack to your Dell machine’s LINE jack.

2. Remove the protective cap from your Dell machine’s EXT jack, and then plug the telephone line cord from

your answering machine into the EXT jack.

3. Set your answering machine to answer within 4 rings.

If you are having problems receiving faxes or voice messages, set your answering machine to answer within

2 or 3 rings.

4. Record the outgoing message on your answering machine.

• Record five seconds of silence at the beginning of your outgoing message.

• Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.

• End your outgoing message with your Fax Receive Code for people sending manual faxes. For example:

“After the beep, leave a message or press *51 and Start to send a fax.”

5. Set your answering machine to answer calls.

6. Set your Dell machine’s Receive Mode to External TAD.

See

Related Information

: Choose the Correct Receive Mode

Make sure your Dell machine’s Easy Receive feature is turned On. Easy Receive is a feature that allows you to

receive a fax even if you answered the call on an external or extension telephone.

If you often get transmission errors due to possible interference on the telephone line, try changing the

Compatibility setting to Basic(for VoIP).

Sending Faxes

Difﬁculties Suggestions

Cannot send a fax. Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged

into the telephone wall jack and the LINE jack of the machine. If you subscribe

to DSL, VoIP or MagicJack services, call your service provider for connection

instructions.

Make sure you pressed Fax and the machine is in Fax mode.

Print the Transmission Verification Report and check for an error.

Routine Maintenance

• Replace Supplies

You must replace supplies when the machine indicates that the life of the supply is over.

• Clean the Machine

Clean the outside and inside of the machine regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth.

• Check the Remaining Life of Parts

• Pack and Ship Your Dell Machine

Replace Supplies

You must replace supplies when the machine indicates that the life of the supply is over.

You can replace the following supplies yourself.

Using non-Dell supplies may affect the print quality, hardware performance, and machine reliability.

NOTE: The toner cartridge and drum unit are two separate supplies. Make sure both are installed as an assembly.

To avoid any inconvenience, you may want to buy spare supplies to keep as replacements before the machine stops

printing.

WARNING

• Never use a vacuum cleaner for spilled toner and residual toner in this product, toner cartridge or toner bottle. It

may catch fire by electric sparks inside a vacuum cleaner and cause explosion. Use a broom or a wet cloth to wipe

off the spills. If you spill a large volume of toner, contact your local Dell representative.

• Never throw a toner cartridge into an open flame. Remaining toner in the cartridge may catch fire and

cause burn injuries or explosion. If you have a used toner cartridge no longer needed, contact your local Dell

representative for its disposal.

CAUTION

• Keep drum cartridges (or drum if not a cartridge type) and toner cartridges out of the reach of children. If a child

accidentally swallows toner, spit it out, rinse mouth with water, drink water and consult a physician immediately.

• When replacing drum cartridges (or drum if not a cartridge type) and toner cartridges, be careful not to spill the

toner. In case of any toner spills, avoid contact with clothes, skin, eyes and mouth as well as inhalation.

• If toner spills onto your skin or clothing, wash it off with soap and water. If you get toner particles in the eyes,

wash it out with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes until irritation is gone. Consult a physician if necessary.

IMPORTANT

• Dell machines are designed to work with toner of a particular specification and will work to a level of optimum

performance when used with Dell Original toner cartridges. Dell cannot guarantee this optimum performance if

toner or toner cartridges of other specifications are used. The machine may not detect toner or toner cartridges

of other specifications correctly but may instead detect such items as standard yield toner cartridges. Dell does

not therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than Dell Original cartridges with this machine, or the

refilling of empty cartridges with toner from other sources. If damage is caused to the drum unit or other parts

306 Routine Maintenance

of this machine as a result of the use of toner or toner cartridges other than Dell Original products due to the

incompatibility or lack of suitability of those products with this machine, any repairs required as a result may not

be covered by the warranty.

• For best performance, use a Dell Original drum and toner cartridge. Printing with a third party drum unit or

toner cartridge may reduce not only the print quality but also the quality and life of the machine itself. Warranty

coverage may not apply to problems caused by the use of a third party drum or toner cartridge.

NOTE

• Be sure to seal up the used supplies tightly in a bag so that toner powder does not spill out of the cartridge.

• Discard the used supply according to local regulations, keeping it separate from domestic waste. If you have

questions, contact your local waste disposal office.

• We recommend placing used supplies on a piece of paper to prevent accidentally spilling or scattering the

material inside.

• If you use paper that is not a direct equivalent for the recommended print media, the life of supplies and

machine parts may be reduced.

• The projected life for each of the toner cartridges is based on ISO/IEC 19752. Frequency of replacement will vary

depending on the print volume, percentage of coverage, types of media used, and powering on/off the machine.

• Frequency of replacement supplies except toner cartridges will vary depending on the print volume, types of

media used, and powering on/off the machine.

• Handle the toner cartridge carefully. If toner scatters on your hands or clothes, immediately wipe or wash it off

with cold water.

• To avoid print quality problems, DO NOT touch the shaded parts shown in the illustrations.

307Routine Maintenance

Learn About The Toner Cartridge

The Standard toner cartridge can print approximately 1,200 pages *1. The High Yield toner cartridge can print

approximately 2,600 pages *1. Actual page count will vary depending on your average type of document.

When a toner cartridge is running low, the control panel shows Toner Low indication.

The toner cartridge that comes with your Dell machine is a Starter toner cartridge. The approximate toner life may

differ from the Standard toner cartridge.

Approximate life of Starter Toner Cartridge

Approximately 700 pages (Letter or A4 pages)*1

NOTE: It is a good idea to keep a new toner cartridge ready for use when you see the Toner Low warning.

NOTE: To ensure high quality printing, we recommend using only Genuine Dell Brand toner cartridges. When you

want to buy toner cartridges, contact Dell Customer Service.

NOTE: DO NOT unpack the new toner cartridge until you are ready to install it.

NOTE: If a toner cartridge is left unpacked for a long time, the toner life will be shortened.

NOTE: Dell strongly recommends you DO NOT reﬁll the toner cartridge provided with your machine. We also strongly

recommend you continue to use only Genuine Dell Brand replacement toner cartridges. Use or attempted use of third

party toner and/or cartridges in the Dell machine may cause damage to the machine and/or may result in unsatisfac-

tory print quality. Our limited warranty coverage does not apply to any problem that is caused by the use of third party

toner and/or cartridges. To protect your investment and obtain premium performance from the Dell machine, we

strongly recommend the use of Genuine Dell Supplies.

10. Close the front cover of the machine.

NOTE: After replacing a toner cartridge, DO NOT turn off the machine or open the Front cover until the machine's

display returns to Ready Mode.

Learn About The Drum Unit

A new drum unit can print approximately 12,000 Letter or A4 size single-sided pages.

Drum wear and tear occurs due to use and rotation of the drum and interaction with paper, toner and other

materials in the paper path. In designing this product, Dell decided to use the number of rotations of the drum as a

reasonable determinant of the drum life. When a drum reaches the factory-established rotation limit corresponding

to the rated page yield, the product’s LCD will advise you to replace the applicable drum. The product will continue

to function; however, print quality may not be optimal.

311Routine Maintenance

NOTE

• If an unpacked drum unit is placed in direct sunlight (or room light for long periods of time), the unit may be

damaged.

• There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such as the temperature, humidity, type of paper,

type of toner used and so on. Under ideal conditions, the average drum life is estimated at approximately 12,000

pages. The actual number of pages that your drum will print may be significantly less than this estimate.

Because we have no control over the many factors that determine the actual drum life, we cannot guarantee a

minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum.

• For best performance, use only genuine Dell toner. The machine should be used only in a clean, dust-free

environment with adequate ventilation.

Printing with a non-Dell drum unit may reduce not only the print quality but also the quality and life of the

machine itself. Warranty coverage does not apply to problems caused by the use of a non-Dell drum unit.

FCC Part68 comment,

• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of

this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm

equipment, call your telephone company or a qualified installer.

Information regarding recycled paper

• Recycled paper is of the same quality of paper made from original forest sources. Standards governing modern

recycled paper ensure that it meets the highest quality requirements for different printing processes. The

imaging equipment supplied by the VA signatories is suitable for using with recycled paper meeting the EN

12281:2002 standard.

• Purchasing recycled paper saves natural resources and promotes the circular economy. Paper is made using

cellulose fibres from wood. Collecting and recycling paper extends the life of fibres over multiple life cycles

making the best use of the resources.

• The recycled paper production process is shorter. The fibres have already been processed; so less water, chemicals

and energy are used.

• Paper recycling has the benefit of saving carbon by diverting paper products from alternative disposal routes such

as landfill and incineration. Landfill waste emits methane gas which has a powerful greenhouse effect.
