20 Most Recent Dell 1110 Laser Printer Questions & Answers

Look for a fuse on the catridge. If there is NO fuse or it was broken before you insert the cartridge, the toner EDN detection will be NOT cleared. By yourself fuses and change them when your printer starts to blink.
If that didnt help, there can be lots of problems. When you power on the printer you have to hear a nois of rotating parts...if no look for piece ot paper or other problem in internal paper path. Maybe you have a burned termofuse in fuser section.

I've found that the Dell 1110 printer has a special feature for resetting the toner alarm. If you refill the toner cartridge one way or the other, or buy a new, you have to let the printer "blow" the small 5 x 20 mm fuse that sits in a plastic holder on the cartridge. It you try with an empty fuse holder the printer will work, at least for a while, but the alarm will stay on. The right thing to do is to insert a 63 mA fast acting (F) fuse in the holder on the cartridge, insert the cartridge and start the printer. During the start up-sequence the printer will blow the fuse and note that as a "proof of new toner". You'll see the alarm go off and the status sheet will indicate 100% toner! Also an 100 mA F fuse may do the trick, but probably not a higher amperage. See the last minute of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ox_kqCYlSU

Hello,
If you have flashing RED and GREEN LEDs on your Dell 1110 your printer will need servicing by the Dell service department. It is hard to say what is wrong without looking at the printer in person but those two lights together spell trouble not easily fixed. It could be a damaged circuit board or component. This typically has nothing to do with ink, paper jams, etc.

First of all, you should not try to manually override these components.
When you do this it may cause other problems, minor or major in a mechanical or electrical means.

Some of these machines have internal counters in the main boards.
They may work with the sensing of low level ink but also count the amounts of copies printed.

There are some of the machines that use a "Weighted" type sensor. Others use a photo eye sensor. If it is a weighted type, usually a brass looking type, extra precautions need to be taken. If they are even touched by someone's hand, they can create a static discharge to the sensor and burn it out very quickly.

The best things to do, is just run the machine the way it was designed to work.

85% of paper jams are caused by worn rollers . The rubber treads in the rollers wears down, making them smooth, so they won't pick up the paper. Sometimes, they are aged, which also gives them a smoother rounded texture, causing jams. The quick fix is to liven up that roller with a mixture of alcohol and soap. Damp a rag with the solution and wipe the rollers clean with it. That's make them more pliable and the paper jams will cease. If you plan to keep your printer,

Replace the pick-up and feed rollers.

Metal Tab Separation- Pull out your paper tray and examine either end where the paper sits in. If any of the corners are held down by metal tabs, this is your paper feed system. Chances are, you only have one rubber roller or one set of rollers arranged along side of each other. Reach in where the tray goes and feel up. You should feel some rollers. They might be completely round, or they might be shaped like a half moon. Clean whichever part of them you can with the solution, and this should stop your paper jams. It might be necessary to turn them, but don't force them if they don't move freely.

Pickup Roller and Separation Pad-

If your printer uses this paper feed system, you should see a small piece of flat or slightly curved rubber or cork. It would be towards the end of the paper tray, or deep inside the paper loading cavity on top loaders. This 'separation pad' rubs against the paper feed roller, so if you find the pad, you've found the roller. Clean it and your jams should stop.

Three Roller Paper Separation System- Pull your paper tray out, and look for a roller on either end of it. If you find one, clean it. Then look inside the printer where that roller would rest with the paper tray inserted. You'll find another paper roller there. Clean this one also. Finally, look further back or closer to the front of your printer (depending on which way your paper feeds) to find another roller or set of rollers. Clean all of these, and your paper jams will go away.

You may want to try looking at the rollers through the back of the printer when it tries picking up paper. Look and try to see if the roller assembly is even turning the rollers. If that works fine and you can see the rollers trying to push the paper into the paper path, there may be something blocking the paper from going through. Pull the paper tray out and inspect it for any damaged or missing parts. Then look on the underside of the printer where the paper path begins. Chances are there is just some jammed paper keeping any more pages from going through. If the rollers have been cleaned they could just be worn out and need replacing. Contact Dell tech support if you can't fix it yourself or need any parts.

Here is the link to the Manualftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_printers_main/esuprt_printers/dell-1110_User%27s%20Guide_en-us.pdfIt has a pictogram of how the cartridge is to be installed

If the cartridge is not causing the problem then the second most common issue is either a damaged fuser, the part of the printer that melts the toner to the page, or something stuck to the fuser like a label.

Sometime the toner will "dump" into a section of the chassis and remain there until blown out. Get a can of "air" at Target or other source and blow around the area where the toner cartridge rests. It may be that you can't literally "see" where the toner dust is.......

Regarding the paper not engaging with the Dell 1110 Mono Laser Printer, I previously read somewhere that taking iso-propanol (everyday rubbing alcohol, $1.00 for 24 ounces) and cleaning the centrally-located black roller (located just above the leading-edge of the paper) with a cotton-ball and the alcohol could solve the problem and it did -- My Printer Is WORKING. I was shocked! Actually, I couldn't find our bottle of alcohol, so I substituted with a chemically similar product. I used hand-sanitizer which is about 70% v/v ethyl alcohol -- a similar enough solvent. My Dell 1110 is working like it's brand new. Also, I wasn't able to rub the alcohol on the back side of the roller -- just a logistics problem that I couldn't solve without removing the entire roller. If anyone knows how to remove the rubber roller in 5 or less easy steps, I would love to know.
