Setting Up Your Printer

NOTE: 

The Dell Photo Printer 540 supports Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and Windows XP.

Follow the instructions on your 

Setting Up Your Printer 

poster

to install the hardware (and 

software, if using your printer with a computer). For setup troubleshooting, see

page  31.

Loading the Photo Cartridge

NOTE: 

Use only the photo cartridge from a Dell Photo Print Pack. Do not use any other type of photo 

cartridge in your printer. Do not expose your photo cartridge to extreme temperatures. (See information 

on photo print pack packaging.)

1

If there is slack in the print ribbon, remove it by pushing in on the spool, then rotating the 

spool clockwise a maximum of one half turn.

NOTE: 

Be careful not to rotate the spool more than necessary. Doing so could reduce the number of 

prints you are able to make.

Open the photo cartridge door.
