What You Need To Know About The Dell 1100 Printer
For around $85, you can get the Dell Laser
1100 printer. The device can print around 14 pages per minute, which is
comparable to other printers in its class. Printing quality with the
Dell Laser 1100 toner is good enough for most projects. For some, 14
pages per minute might be too slow, since most laser printer can do
around 17-25.
The colors are the patented gray and white of Dell. It weight around 12
pounds, which is the same with other printers. The paper tray is a
slight drawback because it always remains open. This is a design makes
is very vulnerable to dust.
The device's control panel is very user-friendly. The two LED's will
tell you if it is jammed or busy. There is button on the panel you can
press to feed the paper or to cancel a job. The tray on top can also
hold around 50 sheets.
Just in case the device jams, you can easily remove the toner
cartridge, which is under the main door. The company's design also made
it very easy to put back in. The USB cable is sold separately, which is
odd as this printer can only be connected through USB.
The package comes with step-by-step instructions that makes it very
easy to connect and install. It even has drivers that automatically
load once the device is connected. Sad to say, this Dell printer only
supports Windows. There is no available software for Mac and Linux
operating systems.
The device is able to print at 600 x 600 dpi resolution. It is a
feature present in other printers in the same price range. It boasts a
150 MHz processor, which is better than other laser printers, however,
the 2 MB RAM is limiting the device for text and grayscale graphics
only.
A small 1,000-page yield cartridge is included in the package. This
starter kit is a bit less as compared to other laser printers. You can
replace it with a 2,000-page yield toner cartridge. If you think about
it, it is around 3.3 cents a page. That is a bit expensive compared to
other printers as most laser printers can print a page cheaper than
this.
The device can accept various paper sizes from ISO B5 to A4. The
printer can print around 5,000 pages monthly. It also prints various
sizes of envelopes. I think that is enough for most students and
writers. If you need more that, consider spending more on another
printer.
Printing speed and price is what makes the Dell 1100 printer a good
buy. The manufacturer also has a trade in offer. All you have to do is
turn over your old Dell printer for this device. There is no networking
feature on this printer, which means you have to dedicate a PC.
Another
disadvantage of this printer is its 90-day warranty, which is very
short compared to other manufacturers. The 1000-page yield cartridge is
also a weakness, since others are offering better cartridges. In
summary, this is a good printer, but is might to well to use it in
addition to an all-in-one device or inkjet printer.
