You may check Printer properties in the control panel. The fax may have set itself as default when the toner prevented the printer from printing. Or this site have more: http://alpha02u.c-wss.com/inc/ApplServlet?SV=WWUCA900 Good Luck, Tim

Fax machine print light

When you see light print it can be from a few things. This is basically a laser printer with a fax machine so the same problems exist in both. The most common cause by far is simply low toner. If you take out the toner cartidge and gentl shake it side to side then put it back in. Now try printing again. This should be much darker. This may only last a few dozen pages (but can go a quite a bit more if you are lucky) but it shows you that you need to get a new toner cartridge. The other causes can be a image setting in the fax. In the control panel it will show you a setting for how dark it will print. Normally it is in the middle of the range. The last common thing is a fusor wire. This normally shows up as a error first but it can slowly fail. The fusor is the heater that bonds the toner to the paper. If it doesn't get hot enough then not all the toner sticks and you get light printing.

Normally the problem is low toner.

Fax waiting message on dell 1600n. will not print why?

This usually isn't a driver problem. Mine won't print-out a fax when toner is low - at what point is low, I don't know. To solve, go to Menu button and press until 4. Fax Feature is displayed. Press Left - Right button until 'Ignore Toner' is displayed and press Select button. Press Left - Right button until 'Ignore Toner - On' is displayed and press Select button. The unit will then print 'Fax Waiting' pages.

Toner alarm stays on with new cartridge

Printhead is dried up and may need to be replaced. The printhead usually has a life kinda like the inks. You should be able to find a printhead from your local fax repair shop and installation should be simple. Once replaced you may install inks and run several cleaning cycles. Please let me know if this helped.

Received fax in memory but not printing

I just checked this out as I had the same problem. It seems that the machine is programmed to stop printing faxes when the Toner is "out". Even though the toner is not completely out. I was positive that the note on the screen was false since I could print out documents and copies (I am not using Samsung original Toner). But the fax will refuse to print. I fixed this by changing the toner (again with a non-Samsung toner) and it is printing all the faxes in memory. It is stupid that they haven't set up a menu item to force it to print all the faxes in memory but voila, that seems to be the fix. I guess this is a way for them to control that we only use Samsung toner.

Retreive faxes from memory

This is normally a low toner situation. You need a new toner cartridge. In the meantime, do the following:

You need to use the [MENU], [< >] and [ENTER] keys to browse through the unit's menu. Find and enter the "System Setup" menu and then search for the "Ignore Toner" option. Press [ENTER] and change the setting to "ON". Press [ENTER to confirm, the, [STOP/CLEAR] to get out of the menu system. The unit should start printing all faxes in memory.

Be blessed.

Not recieving only in memory

My good friend:

The only reason why your unit stops printin faxes is because the toner cartridge is nearly empty. Th e unit will then try to conserve the remaining toner for printing and copying. Follow this steps to program the unit to print all faxes, even with toner low:

When the toner cartridge is nearly empty, the machine shows
the “[Toner Empty]” message and continues printing except
incoming faxes. In this case, incoming faxes are saved in
memory.
However, you can set the machine to print incoming faxes, even
though print quality is not optimal.
1 Press Menu until “Machine Setup” appears on the display.
2 Press the scroll button ( or ) until “Ignore Toner”
appears on the bottom line and press Enter.
3 Press the Scroll button ( or ) to select “On” or “Off”.
Select “On” to ignore the [Toner Empty] message.
Select “Off” to stop printing incoming faxes when the
message appears. This is the default setting.
4 Press Enter to save the selection.
5 To return to Standby mode, press Stop/Clear.

Be blessed

Printing

It sounds like the toner is getting low. Take out the toner cartridge and rock it back and forth a few times to redistribute the toner evenly in the cartridge. If this makes the printouts look better, you should order another cartridge, as this one is getting low. I'm not sure about the L-100, but the toner cartridge for the L-120 fax is good for about 2,000 copies.

"Toner Low" message = no faxes :(

Need to do a hard reset. Contact Dell for instructions, but it will involve turning printer off, opening front cover, pushing buttons on front panel in certain sequence, etc. Each model differs, which is why you should call Dell.
