Questions about Dell 1320c toner cartridges

Question: I’m getting error code 091-935 from my Dell laser printer 1320c, what does it mean?

Answer: In this case the drum cartridge has to be replaced. Error 091-935 means Drum Full of waste toner.

Question: The error light on my 1320c has turned to orange blinking, how can I fix this?

Answer: When the light is flashing, probably is not the PHD, but might be a problem with the PDL emulation.  Try going to de control panel, right click the Dell printer, and select printer properties, not properties. Go to the advanced tab and check print directly to printer instead of spool print documents.

Question: My dell 1320c laser printer prints black as grey. How can I make it print in black again?

This is a common problem with this printer and there are many things you can try to improve the performance of your dell 1320c toner cartridges and get an excellent printing quality.

Check if your Toner Save Mode is off (in the print driver, under preferences). If you're still printing gray, you may need to replace the PHD (print head unit)

Another thing you can try is to restore the defaults on the printer

There's also the possibility that not all of the ribbons have been removed from the PHD unit inside. To remove them all, you'll need to oven the front cover of the dell 1320c printer, move the four tabs 90 degrees and pull the whole PHD out and take off the 4 yellow ribbons. I will return to normal after 40 or 50 pages printed. Be careful with this because if you've already print with all or some of the ribbons, you're PHD units might be damaged and you'll have to buy new ones.

Check that the Non-Dell Toner in the Printer Maintenance tab in the Tool Box is not selected.

Question: My Dell 1320 is not printing properly on the left side, it is very faded. How can I print correctly?

Answer: It seems to be a problem with dell 1320 toner contamination in the optical processing unit. You can solve this problem by removing the unit and cleaning the mirrors/lenses in the open front of the unit and the laser/mirrors behind the plastic cover at the back with compressed air.

Answer: You should try checking that your saving mode is turned-off, if it is, then the problem might be some toner dust accumulated on the mirror and lenses inside the machine. You could try cleaning it yourself with compressed air or hire a professional to do it for you.

Answer: If you put your hand over the paper and the toner is coming off on your hand, you'll need to change the fuser

Answer: you can try shaking it a little to see if it helps, if not, check that everything is clean in the cartridge, clean contacts and check also the lenses and mirrors of the PHD, if none of that works you'll need to replace it.
