Dell 7130cdn Professional Color Printer

User Guide

Printing Takes Too Long

Printer Resets or Turns Off Frequently

Probable Causes

Solutions

The printer is set to a slower printing mode (for
example, heavyweight stock or transparency).

It takes more time to print with special media.
Make sure that the media type is set properly in
the driver and at the printer’s control panel.

The printer is in ENERGY SAVE mode.

It takes time for printing to start in power saving
mode.

The job is very complex.

Wait. No action needed.

Probable Causes

Solutions

The power cord is not correctly plugged into the
outlet.

Turn off the printer, confirm that the power cord is
correctly plugged into the printer and the outlet,
and then turn on the printer.

A system error occurred.

Contact your local Dell service representative with
the fault information. Check the fault history. For
more information see
