The Dell 1100 printer is an inexpensive product. The machine is made for average uses and offers Dell 1100 Toner for good text as well as graphic printing qualities. The printer can produce about fourteen pages per minutes, which equals a standard printing rate. However, if you would like to print more than fourteen pages per minute, it may be better to invest in a more high-tech printing device.
The machine has the usual patented white and grey Dell colors. The printer weighs around twelve pounds, which is a normal weight. The paper tray remains open all the time which can make the device vulnerable to dust.
For those who wish to have an easy to use machine, the Dell 1100 is very user-friendly and simple. There are two LED’s that notify the user of any complications such as the paper being jammed. There is also a button that can be pressed in order to stop the paper feed to discontinue a job. About fifty sheets can be stored at one time.
If the printer happens to jam, you can easily remove the toner cartridge, which is located behind the main door. The printer was specifically designed to make functions easy to reinstall. Even though the printer is made to be used only with a USB connection, the USB cord must be purchased separately.
After you have purchased the printer, it is a very simple task to get it all set up. The instructions include a poster which systematically illustrates the process to get the printer connected and installed. Drivers are automatically loaded. People with Windows operating systems are the only ones able to use this particular printer.
The maximum resolution the printer is able to deliver is 600 x 600 dpi. This area of resolution rivals other printers within the same prices. With 150 MHz, the machine is able to run relatively fast compared to other products. However, the printer only has 2 Megabyte RAM. This can make it difficult to handle anything other than spreadsheets, grayscale graphics and text. Users should use Dell toner to produce optimal results.
A 1,000 page yield cartridge is included in the start-up kit. The cartridge is a little small because other companies have been known to supply 2,000 page yield cartridges. However, the toner cartridge is easily replaced with a 2,000 page yield cartridge. When printing, each page averages out to about 3.3 cents which can be considered expensive when compared to Canon or HP.
The printer can handle various page sizes from 3′ x 5′ to 8.5′ x 14′. A4 is the maximum printing size. For people wishing to have a printer for several office duties, it may be best to reconsider. This device can handle about 5,000 pages monthly.
Overall, the Dell 1100 printer is preferred by most people because of its printing speed, price, and high quality Dell cartridges. A trade in offer is included with purchase. If you turn in your old Dell printer, you could get some money back. If you would like to make good small copy jobs and not spend too much money, this printer may be ideal for your work space.
