Replace the DRUM

What error do you get? What OS is the computer running? Is the scanner lock in the unlocked position? The switch is just below the control panel on the left. Do you have the full-featured software installed? Software is available at http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd&ServiceTag=&SystemID=PRN_LSR_1600N&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=&impid=, just choose your OS. Try a new data cable and a different port. Is the printer attached to the network or used as a local printer via USB? With USB, a bad cable will get the scanner to fail since the scanner requires bi-directional communication. The full-software is needed for most OS versions, not a generic driver. The scanner uses a TWAIN compliant driver for most OS versions but the software includes a WIA driver in Windows XP.

I hope this helps.

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.

From FixYa Support:

The Dell 1600n printer driver has a toner saver mode, which can contribute to light print.

To turn Toner Save Mode off, (Windows XP) perform the following steps:

1. Click the Start button, click Settings, and then click Printer and Faxes.
   The Printers and Faxes window appears.
2. Right-click Dell Laser MFP 1600n, 1815dn, and left-click Printing Preferences.
   The Dell Laser MFP 1600n, 1815dn Printing Preferences window appears.
3. Click the Advanced button.
   The Dell Laser MFP 1600n, 1815dn Advanced Options window appears.
4. Click to highlight Toner Save.
5. Click the drop-down list and change it to Off and click OK.
6. Click OK.

If still a problem, you probably have a bad fuser. The fuser part for dell 1600N is - N5796 110V. To replace, unplug the machine and remove the rear lower cover. Remove four screws and the largest rear cover. The fuser is in view. Remove four more screws and two plugs and remove the fuser. To replace, reverse the procedure.

Hope this helps.

The Automatic Document Feed (ADF) has a white rubber pad that wears out. You can find it by opening the ADF cover and removing the roller bar. Under that is the white rubber pad. Pinch the sides together and the assembley comes out. Contact Dell for the replacement. You may also refer to the Dell 1600n Owners Manual for instructions.

you will need to take your printer plastics off to clean.4 screws on back panel take out then one screw on left side cover.take out paper tray open toner door 4 screws to remove,turn on side and on bottom there are 3 tabs both sides to remove side panels.one side has a speaker wire to unplug.take off display cover 3 screws to take out.lift off top cover and remove 4 screws 2 each side lift off platen and clean. reverse the order to put back together.take your time and be careful good luck

sounds like your csanner is locked.up under where paper comes out look for a blue lever and pull towards you to unlock scanner.push in to lock scanner.check with printer off.

Just call Dell Tech support. It's in their policies that if you call them and complain about a heat issue, they'll replace the unit for safety reasons.

Cheers.

Look inside printer to see af any paper is in there if so remove.Pull out paper tray and clean pickup roller (roller that picks up paper from tray)if the roller has film on it it will cause jam1 error

Most likely it's the toner cartridge. Remove the cartridge, turn it over and slide open the cover over the drum. The drum is the colored cylinder running from one side of the cartridge to the other. Do you see what appears to be the same streaks going around the drum? The drum should be completely clean and free of any lines or streaks. If it has lines or streaks then the cartridge is bad.
Only other possibility here would be the scanner glass. Make sure your streaks don't go away when making a copy from the glass. If they do you could have dirt or trash on your scanner glass.
Good Luck and thank you for using Fixya.

You do not say which version of Windows, so I am providing a link to the Dell Driver page for that model:
