Replaceing these parts can get expensive.

You can use refilled toner cartridges or off-brand compatible toner. The plus side to this is they are far cheaper and they do work. The down side is that they may increase wear on your printer and if they are the cause of a printer malfunction your Dell warranty is not required to fix the problem. It's a calculated risk--one which I personally take (three or four replacements of toner save enough to buy a new printer).

Make sure that after you add paper, that you tell the printer the right size paper. Chances are you accidently changed the paper size and the printer is letting you know that the "wrong" paper is in the tray. If you are using standard printer paper, be sure to change the paper settings back to "Letter"

When you open the front cover it is possible for the transfer roller assembly to remain latched against the imaging drum assembly, making it impossible to pull out the imaging drum. The drum should lift out very easily. If it doesn't, try closing the imaging drum cover and then the front cover (ie: put everything back the way it was). Then open the front cover again, pressing firmly on the front cover latch. When open, check that the transfer roller assembly stayed with the front cover and swung out of the way of the imaging drum (you may have to swing it yourself. When the front cover has opened properly, the imaging drum's cover will unlatch easily and the drum can be pulled out.

I hope this helps someone! I had to say many bad words before I figured this out. Good thing I had a second 5100cn handy to look at for comparison. - B.Till

Dear Jean Pl. follow the link attached. Knowledge Base Thanks.

You are probably having a problem with a particular document you are trying to print. See this Dell article for help. http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN114900/EN I have found it is not the ESS board that is located on the back of the printer. You can pull it out and reset it into the machine to make sure it is making good contact. Before that though- it will be a lot easier if you download the firmware upgrade from there site and run it on each printer giving you a problem; that should solve your problem.

It is probably in the dev unit and if the drum is part of it the issue would be behind that. Sometimes the only thing to do is replace the drum unit that is giving you the issue. W
