Dell AIO 962 copy & fax issues

I have a Dell 962 all in one with two major problems, both very recent in its 2 year history of acceptable performance:

1. Copies are not readable due to black lines and gray areas
2. When used as a stand alone fax it transmits pages of solid black.

The printer and scanner functions work fine.

I have recently changed the printer cartridges, cleaned the large scanner glass and the thin glass lens below the automatic document feeder. I am sure that the original is oriented with the correct side up when sending the faxes.

I have been unable to find any references to this combination of problems.

I have a 2 year old Dell Inspiron computer with Windows XP Pro, and am subscribed to Bell South fast access (now AT&T)

Any suggestions or references toward a solution would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

kellyplus

My exact same pinter sends the black pages too. I can make it stop by turning on and off, but the problem is my receipent gets 30 black pages before I know. No idea what causes it, just a quick fix . It is to the point I turn off the printer and back on beofre I do any faxes unless it is directly for PC

My Del 962 will not scan. The light does not come on and it does nothing. What should I do?

Hi,.... I'm having the same problem as sharon_mi334. My Dell AIO 962 does not copy, fax or scan...but prints. When attempted(copy, fax or scan), the output is a scanned image or a print out that's completely black. When I looked at the "scanner light unit/ copier camera" or what-ever it's called ... the gizmo that moves across under the glass plate,... I noticed there was NO light coming out of it as it should on any other copier, etc. Sooo,... is that the problem, ie: unable to copy the image? If so, can I fix that by replacing a bulb or a particular unit? Looking for some advice and thank you for your help and time.

PDell Photo AIO Printer 962 stopped working after windows update

I had the same issue after downloading the Dell AIO 962 printer update. What worked was using the uninstall mode on the original Dell CD that came with the printer followed by a fresh install from the aforementioned CD. Be sure to uninstall all copies of the drivers before doing the new install. Good Luck!

Dell AIO 962 can't get a dial tone

There are 2 phone jack ports on the back of the 962.
One for line, one for phone.
You want to plug the phone line into the port that says "line" or "Fax".
If it's plugged into the wrong one, your fax machine will not get a dial tone.

Dell AIO 962 Photo printer

hmmm..interesting..sometimes, in the translation from one fax machine to another, the grey scale densities don't match up. So, your printer almost certainly has a higher resolution than a standard fax machine. Only way to do this is to test and attempt to balance it from one machine to another. Maybe you'll get lucky, and they will be compatible.

got backup?
