JPEG Library  
Independent JPEG Group's free JPEG software  
-------------------------------------------  
This package contains C software to implement JPEG image encoding, decoding, and transcoding. JPEG is a standardized compression method  
for full-color and gray-scale images.  
The distributed programs provide conversion between JPEG "JFIF" format and image files in PBMPLUS PPM/PGM, GIF, BMP, and Targa file  
formats. The core compression and decompression library can easily be reused in other programs, such as image viewers. The package is highly  
portable C code; we have tested it on many machines ranging from PCs to Crays.  
We are releasing this software for both noncommercial and commercial use. Companies are welcome to use it as the basis for JPEG-related  
products. We do not ask a royalty, although we do ask for an acknowledgement in product literature (see the README file in the distribution for  
details). We hope to make this software industrial-quality --- although, as with anything that's free, we offer no warranty and accept no liability.  
For more information, contact [email protected].

Checking the Shared Printer  
To confirm that the printer is properly shared:  
Ensure that the printer object in the Printers Printers and Faxes, or Devices and Printers folder is shared. The  
shared icon is shown under the printer icon.  
,
From a network client, browse Network or My Network Places. Find the host name of the server and the shared  
name you assigned to the printer.  
After you have checked that the printer is shared, use methods such as Windows® Point and Print to use the shared  
printer from a network client.  
NOTE: If the OS bit editions (32/64 bit edition) differ between a print server and a client computer, you need to manually add the  
printer driver for the client computer edition on the server. Otherwise, the printer driver cannot be installed on the client  
computer using methods such as Point and Print. For example, if the print server runs on Windows Vista® 32-bit edition, while  
the client computer runs on Windows® 7 64-bit edition, follow the procedures below to additionally install the printer driver for  
64-bit client on the 32-bit server.

Print Media Guidelines  
Print media refers to paper, labels, envelopes, and coated paper among others. Your printer provides high-quality  
printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the appropriate print media for your printer helps avoid printing  
troubles. This section describes selecting and caring for print media.  
NOTE: Use only laser print media. Do not use ink jet paper in your printer.  
Paper  
For the best print quality, use 90 g/m2 (24 lb) xerographic, grain long paper. It is recommended that you try a sample  
first before buying large quantities of any print media.  
When loading paper, identify the recommended print side on the paper package, and load the paper accordingly. See  
"
"
detailed loading instructions.  
Recommended Paper  
To ensure the best print quality and feed reliability, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic paper. Business paper designed  
for general business use also provides acceptable print quality. Only use paper able to withstand high temperatures  
without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous emissions. The laser printing process heats paper to high  
temperatures. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the paper you have chosen is  
acceptable for laser printers.  
It is recommended that you try a sample first before buying large quantities of any print media. When choosing any  
print media, you should consider the weight, fiber content, and color.  
Unacceptable Paper  
The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer:  
Chemically treated paper used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless paper, carbonless  
copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper.  
Preprinted paper with chemicals that may contaminate the printer.  
Preprinted paper that can be affected by the temperature in the fusing unit.  
Preprinted paper that requires a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than ±0.09 inches,  
such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms.  
In some cases, you can adjust registration with your software program to successfully print on these forms.  
Coated paper (erasable bond), synthetic paper, and thermal paper.  
Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface paper, or curled paper.  
Recycled paper containing more than 25 % post-consumer waste that does not meet DIN 19 309.  
Multiple-part forms or documents.  
Print quality may deteriorate (blank spaces or blotches may appear in the text) when printing on talc or acid paper.  
Print Media Guidelines  
263  
         
Selecting Paper  
Proper paper selection helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing.  
To help avoid jams or poor print quality:  
Always use new, undamaged paper.  
Before loading the paper, identify the recommended print side of the paper. This information is usually indicated  
on the paper package.  
Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed.  
Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source. This may result in a paper jam.  
Do not remove the tray while printing is in progress.  
Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the tray.  
Flex the paper back and forth, and then fan them. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.  
Selecting Pre-Printed Media and Letterheads  
When selecting pre-printed and letterhead paper for the printer:  
Use grain long paper for best results.  
Use only forms and letterheads printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.  
Select paper that absorb ink, but does not bleed.  
Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.  
Use paper printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copying machines. The ink must  
withstand temperatures of 225 °C (437 °F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.  
Use inks that are not affected by the resin in the toner or the silicone in the fusing unit. Inks that are oxidation-set  
or oil-based should meet these requirements; latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact your paper supplier.  
Selecting Pre-Punched Paper  
When selecting pre-punched paper for the printer:  
Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of pre-punched paper.  
Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper already packaged in a ream. Drilled  
paper can cause jams when multiple sheets feed through the printer. This may result in a paper jam.  
Pre-punched paper can include more paper dust than standard paper. Your printer may require more frequent  
cleaning and feed reliability may not be as good as standard paper.  
Weight guidelines for pre-punched paper are the same as non-punched paper.  
264  
Print Media Guidelines  
     
Envelopes  
Depending on the envelopes, it is possible to expect variable levels of wrinkling. It is recommended that you try a  
sample first before buying large quantities of any print media. See  
on loading envelopes.  
"Loading Envelopes in the MPF" for instructions  
When printing on envelopes:  
Use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers.  
Set the print media source to the MPF. Set the paper type to Envelope, and select the correct size of envelope from  
the printer driver.  
2
2
Use envelopes made from 75 g/m (20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 105 g/m (28 lb bond) weight for the  
envelope feeder as long as the cotton content is 25 % or less. Envelopes with 100 % cotton content must not exceed  
90 g/m (24 lb bond) weight.  
2
Use only freshly unpackaged, undamaged envelopes.  
Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205 °C (401 °F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or  
releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering, check with the  
envelope supplier.  
Adjust the guide to fit the width of the envelopes.  
To load an envelope into the MPF, insert the envelope with the flaps closed or open and the short-edge of the  
envelope facing into the printer. The print side must be facing up.  
See "Loading Envelopes in the MPF" for instructions on loading envelopes.  
Use one envelope size during a print job.  
Ensure that the humidity is low because high humidity (more than 60 %) and the high printing temperatures may  
seal the envelopes.  
For best performance, do not use envelopes that:  
Have excessive curl or twist  
Are stuck together or damaged in any way  
Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing  
Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars  
Have an interlocking design  
Have postage stamps attached  
Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position  
Have nicked edges or bent corners  
Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes  
Print Media Guidelines  
265  
 
Labels  
Your printer can print on many labels designed only for use with laser printers.  
When selecting labels:  
Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 205 °C (401  
°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).  
Use labels that can be without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.  
Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.  
CAUTION: Before buying large quantities of any print media, it is recommended that you try a sample first.  
When printing on labels:  
Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205 °C (401 °F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or  
releasing hazardous emissions.  
Set the paper type to Label in the printer driver.  
Load labels in the MPF. Tray1 and the optional 550-sheet feeder do not support labels.  
Do not load labels together with paper in the MPF.  
Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the die-cut.  
Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the  
label.  
Do not print a label through the printer more than once.  
Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.  
Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.  
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam.  
Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. It is recommended that zone coating of the  
adhesive is done at least 1 mm (0.04 inches) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your printer and  
could void your warranty.  
WARNING: Otherwise a jam occurs in the printer and contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive. As a result,  
could void your printer and cartridge warranties.  
Storing Print Media  
For proper print media storage, the following guidelines will help to avoid media feeding problems and uneven print  
quality.  
Store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21 °C (70 °F) and the relative  
humidity is 40 %.  
Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.  
If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carton, ensure that they rest on a flat surface so  
that the edges do not buckle or curl.  
Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.

CAUTION: Never use envelopes with windows, coated linings, or self-stick adhesives. These lead to paper jams and can  
cause damage to the printer.  
NOTE: If you do not load envelopes in the MPF right after they have been removed from the packaging, they may bulge. To avoid  
jams, press firmly across the whole envelopes to flatten them as shown below before loading the envelopes in the MPF.  
NOTE: The maximum height (quantity) of envelopes that can be loaded in the MPF is approximately 15 mm (0.59 inches) (15  
envelopes).

Loading Letterhead in the MPF  
When you use the MPF, letterhead and hole punched paper must be inserted bottom edge first with the print side  
facing down.  
Loading Print Media  
279  
     
Using the MPF  
Load only one size and type of print media during a single print job.  
To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality print media that is designed for use in laser printer.  
For more guidelines on print media, see "Print Media Guidelines."  
Do not add or remove print media when there is still print media in the MPF or when the printer is printing from  
the MPF. This may result in a paper jam.  
Print media should be loaded with the recommended print side up and the top of the print media going into the  
MPF first.  
Do not place objects on the MPF. Also, avoid pressing down or applying excessive force on it.  
The icons on the MPF show how to load the MPF with paper, and how to turn an envelope for printing.  
Linking Trays  
The printer automatically links the trays when you load the same size and type of print media in them. The first tray  
will be utilized until the media runs out, and then the next tray will be used.  
NOTE: The print media should be the same size and type in each tray.  
The MPF cannot be linked to any of the tray sources.  
After loading the selected trays with the same size and type of print media, select the Paper Type setting in the Tray  
Settings component for each source (tray).  
To disable tray linking change the paper type in one of the sources (trays) to a unique value.  
NOTE: If different types of print media of the same size are loaded in each tray, the printer will automatically link them if the  
paper type is not specified in the printer driver properties/preferences.

You can use the document glass or the duplex automatic document feeder (DADF) to load an original document for  
copying, scanning, and sending a fax. You can load up to 50 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) documents for one job using  
the DADF or one sheet at a time using the document glass.  
WARNING: Avoid loading documents that are smaller than 5.5 inches by 5.5 inches (139.7 mm by 139.7 mm) or larger than 8.5  
inches by 14 inches (215.9 mm by 355.6 mm), different sizes or weights together, or booklets, pamphlets, transparencies, or  
documents having other unusual characteristics in the DADF.  
WARNING: Carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper, coated paper, onion skin or thin paper, wrinkled or creased paper, curled  
or rolled paper, torn paper, photographs, or transparencies cannot be used in the DADF.  
WARNING: Do not use the documents with staples, paper clips or exposed to adhesives or solvent based materials such as  
glue, ink and correcting fluid in the DADF.

Scanning Overview  
Use the Dell Cloud Multifunction Printer | H815dw and Dell Smart Multifunction Printer | S2815dn to turn  
pictures and text into editable images on your computer.  
Your printer provides several ways to scan your document. There are two main scanning types. One is operated on  
the printer side without using the scanner driver, and the other is operated on the computer side using a software  
and the scanner driver. See the available features below to help you find the information you need.  
Tips for Easy Network Scanning  
Use the Scan to Web Services on Devices (WSD) feature if you are not familiar with the network scanning setup.  
The Scan to Web Services on Devices (WSD) feature does not require the complicated setup of the network  
shared folder.  
Before using the Scan to Network Folder feature, configure the network connection details using the Address Book  
Editor if you are not familiar with the setup using the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool  
.
The Address Book Editor helps to register the scanning destination details to the printer.

Scanning Using the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Driver  
Your printer also supports the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) driver for scanning images. Windows Image  
Acquisition (WIA) is one of the standard components incorporated in the recent Microsoft® Windows® operating  
systems and works with digital cameras and scanners. Unlike the TWAIN driver, the Windows Image Acquisition  
(WIA) driver allows you to scan an image and easily manipulate those images without using additional software.  
NOTE: The Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) driver is supported only on Windows®.  
To scan an image from the drawing software:  
1
Load the document(s) facing up with top edge in first into the DADF.  
OR  
Place a single document facing down on the document glass, and close the document cover.  
For details about loading a document, see "Loading an Original Document."

Troubleshooting Guide  
Basic Printer Problems  
Some printer problems can be easily resolved. If a problem occurs with your printer, check each of the following:  
The power cable is plugged into the printer and a properly grounded electrical outlet.  
The printer is turned on.  
The electrical outlet is not turned off at any switch or breaker.  
Other electrical equipment plugged into the outlet is working.  
All options are properly installed.  
If you have checked all of the above and still have a problem, turn off the printer, wait for 10 seconds, and then turn  
on the printer. This often fixes the problem.  
NOTE: If error messages are displayed on the touch panel or on your computer screen, follow the on-screen instructions to  
resolve the printer problems. For details about error messages and status codes, see "Understanding Printer Messages."
