Is there a separate power cord?

Hi,

The Dell 926 printer is an All-In-One model that you can use as a printer, scanner and a fax machine. When the printer becomes unresponsive there may be a communication problem between the printer and your computer. To correct this type of problem you need to first verify that the USB connector cable is not malfunctioning. You can do this by resetting the communication settings between the computer and the printer.
y1 Press the "Power" button to turn off the printer. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet or the power strip.

1. • 2

     Disconnect the USB connector cable for the printer from the computer.
     

   • 3

     Turn off your computer from the Windows "Start" menu or by pressing the "Power" button.
     

   • 4

     Plug the USB connector cable back into a USB port on the computer.
     

   • 5

     Plug the power cord for the printer back into power strip or electrical outlet.
     

   • 6

     Press the "Power" button to turn on the printer. Press the "Power" button to turn on your computer.
     

See if you can reinstall the printer. Try deleting the printer in the control panel and then reinstalling it. Also try plugging it into another USB port.

1. When connected by a USB cable, reseat both ends of the cable going from the computer to the printer.




2. When connected to a wired or wireless network, make sure the network is working correctly and that the printer is connected to the network.
(to make sure the printer is on the network, print a network set up page, for more information on how refer to the user's guide, refer to the Downloading and Viewing Printer Manuals section for information on how to download and view the user's guide).



3. Restart the computer.




4. Turn the printer off.




5. Unplug the printer power cord from the A/C outlet or surge protector and wait at least 30 seconds.




6. Plug the printer power cord back into the A/C outlet or surge protector.




7. Turn the printer back on.




8. Make sure the desired printer is set as the default printer.

The Dell 725 printer power cord does NOT plug in to the tower. The Video Cable, on the other hand, plugs in to the tower's video output. Look for a connector like the one from the printer (often USB these days) to plug it in to the computer. There was a diagram that came with the computer that showed how to do all the connections, and the Power Cord does NOT plug in to the tower. USB connections are in various locations on your computer's tower, in the back and sometimes in the front too.

Hi,

First, Make sure that the printer is properly plugged in to a working electrical outlet and that it is hooked up to the computer as indicated. There should be two separate cables running out of your Dell 924, a power cord and a USB cable that communicates with the computer. If both of these aren't plugged in, then the machine will not function properly.

If the lights on your printer aren't working then it means one of two different things:

• Printer has an internal electrical problem and needs repair or
• Printer isn't receiving power from the outlet or power cord

Check whether, are you getting power from the socket by connecting some other component..If it works check whether the Power cord is propwerly connected, try pressing the power cord once..

If not the circuit may be damaged, Which cant be repaired inhome, you have to return to DELL service center and make it repaired

Please leave me comment, if you need further assistance

Look on page 11, item #7. Indicates power plug/connector needed.
Hope this helps.

Try a powered USB hub, this will boost the power in the USB curcuit.
Also ensure that in Device Manager, USB Root HUB, Power Management tab, that the option to let windows turn off the device is unchecked.

Lately dell printers use a power pack that slides into the left rear of the printer and is universal to many different Lexmark & Dell printers. This since about '02. These packs make 30 volts DC. Google part # 15J0307 and see if this is what you are missing.

NO u just need first to UNISTALL driver then restart pc and install again from device menager not from setup

It should connect directly to the printer. Exactly where varies from model to model, but there should be a small port it will fit in. Just FYI, the printer will not be powered by the USB cable, it will require a separate power cord (which you probably already knew and had plugged in).
