YES! It Worked. Man I love it when things like this work out! Thanks Gnolgnol!

Let me just elaborate however:

The "belt" is the 8 1/2" wide black rubber piece wrapped around the drums located at the back top section just near the 4 black arrows and "no hands" warning picture. I was too lazy to unscrew it to fix it so I simply used much force with the palm of my hand and rolled and pushed up and over in the direction it needed to be adjusted several times. The belt will overlap on both sides about 1/8" on both sides so make sure you go past the drum a bit to even it out on both sides.

One reason this error message is displayed on Dell laser printers ... attempting to duplex print using the Single Sheet Feeder (SSF). Try printing document single sided if using the SSF.

Usually this is occurs when the drum needs to be changed.

Error code: 016-370
This is yet another error message asking you to restart the printer. You need to switch off the printer and then connect it via the USB cable. Press the hold and cancel buttons simultaneously. Then power on the printer again. On your LCD display you should typically see a message saying 'ready for download mode'. You will then need to initialize the firmware update process. LCD will change to the writing mode. 10 minutes later you will be prompted to start the printer again.

The firmware is available here:

A printer is not a storage device, so you can't store mails there. You could try to print the mails, but for that you need any connection, running over WiFi or USB. Both connections have to be setup first. and can cost some extra parts.

Looking for Dell 3100CN Service Manual

You're having a problem with your drum unit. You need to start by getting yourself a new drum unit. Then remove the drum. turn the printer off and on. when it asks for the drum, install the new one. if that does not help, call support (1-877-459-7298) and they will probably replace the drum.

Hope this response helps you out.
Best of luck!
I strive for '4 Thumbs Up'! If I've assisted you, I'd greatly appreciate you taking the time to provide me with a favorable rating. Thanks so much!

When I get messages like that I start by reinstalling the cartridge. Also turn the printer off and on again. You can try the trouble shooting on the Dell site for the printer. If all else fails you may have to contact Dell directly. The printer support # is 800-822-8965. When I spoke to them I learned I had lifetime support that I wasn't aware of.

Are there any images at all or is the page solid black?
