Any time an imaging drum is replaced on a 1700, 1710, or 1720 model dell laser printer, you must reset

3. When you see the LED's 'Chase' turn the printer off
4. Close the access cover, and turn the printer back on
5. Press the Continue Button (Green Triangle) to print a settings report
6. Under the section 'Cartridge Information', locate the item 'PHOTOCONDUCTOR COUNT=0K' indicating 'Zero Thousands'.

Hello

You have to check couple things in this case.

Ensure that the printer cover is closed.

1. Remove the toner cartridge.
   
2. Firmly shake it side-to-side and front-to-back several times to redistribute the toner.
   
3. Reinsert the toner cartridge, and continue printing.
   

Repeat this procedure multiple times until the print remains faded. When the print remains faded, replace the toner cartridge.

or
The imaging drum is approaching full and needs to be replaced. Order a new imaging drum.

Are you using the manual feed slot in front of the printer and setting the paper size properly in your software? 3x5 is supported by Dell so this should work.

-Carl, please let me know if this helps.

That green drum is the imaging drum, and it needs to be replaced. You can purchase directly from dell:

After-market replacements are available as well from a number of online sellers. A search on Google will provide many links.

Sounds like the fuser needs to be replaced or the pick up rollers need to be replaced

if there is a clicking noise, check the paper tray. either the tray is overloaded or the paper guide is not set properly.

it's common for the blue paper tab in the paper tray to slide back. the tab has a little square cut out. make sure that it says "LTR" if you use regular letter size paper (8 & 1/2 x 11 inch).

Try a new toner.
