The Dell 1815dn printer is a 4-in-1 machine suitable for a home office or a small network. It’s capable of printing in black and white, scanning, copying and sending fax. With a 300 MHz processor and a host of features, this laser printer is affordably priced yet can deliver professional results.
Up to 27 black and white pages per minute can be churned out. This same performance speed is carried out when it comes to making copies. There’s a 50 sheet multipurpose document feeder which is capable of handling media with a maximum of 8.5″ x 14″ (legal size). Supported media types include plain paper, transparencies, card stock and labels. And with an input tray of 250 sheets and output tray of 150 sheets, print tasks can be handled with much efficiency.
Printing can be done with up to 600 x 600 dots per inch resolution. Monthly duty cycle is set at 25,000 impressions. A built-in auto duplexer enables two-sided printing. This saves time, as you don’t have to reload a page for back-sided printing. What’s more, it helps conserve resources as two-sided printing allows you to reduce waste and save money.
When it comes to scanning, both black and white and color documents are supported. Optical resolution of scans is at 600 x 1,200 dots per inch, and with an interpolated resolution of 4,800 x 4,800 dots per inch. With a color depth of 24 bits, this flatbed scanner produces colored scans that are produced in high quality.
Faxing of documents can be done directly from a PC or any workstation hooked up to the network. This is thanks to the available multiple connectivity options. A high-speed USB 2.0 dock is found at the back of this Dell item, and another full-speed USB 1.1 dock is found in the front. Both allow for direct connection to a PC. Then there’s also the standard Ethernet 10/100 BaseT for easy connection to a network. Because of this fax network capability, auto forwarding to an-email address is possible.
Helping to increase productivity are some features that make it possible to upgrade the specifications of this machine. For instance, media handling capacity can be increased to a max of 550 sheets with optional input and output trays. Likewise, the standard 64 MB and 32 MB memory in the DIMM slot can be increased to a max of 192 MB, thanks to the available expansion slot.
The compact machine measures 17.7″ x 17.2″ x 18″ (width x depth x height) and tips the scale at 38.5 lbs. Helping to attain lower printing cost are the standard 3,000-page toner cartridge and the high-yield 5,000-page toner cartridge. When the toner in the cartridge runs low, there are multiple ways of alerting you proactively. Such can be done via the LCD screen of the printer, from any PC connected to the network, or an e-mail automatically sent to the administrator.
The Dell 1815dn printer with Dell toner cartridges is capable of doing some usual business functions, including black and white printing, scanning, copying and fax sending. This 4-in-1 machine can deliver quality performance, whether in a home office or a small network. What’s more, it’s compact and carries an affordable price tag.
