Things To Expect From The Dell Laser 1110 Ink And Toner
The Dell 1110 printer using Dell Laser 1110 printer toner is an all-around device, which cost around $100. It is even small enough to fit in most space. To use it, you have to unfold its paper tray. This design can save you a lot of space, but you have to put the paper somewhere else. The product also lacks any cover to protect the paper from any dust.
There are only two LEDs in the Dell 1110 printer. One is for the power and the other is for any problems, like paper jams or cartridge errors. It also has one button that you can use to cancels the current printing job. The machine can only be connected through USB, which is problem for some because they have used all the available ports.
The machine was able to get a respectable print speed of 17 pages per minute. This is pretty good for a printer in its class. However, it lacks an automatic duplex feature. Grayscale graphics can be printed at around 5 pages per minute. The machine can also print a maximum resolution of 600dpi.
Its monthly duty cycle is higher than other devices in the same price range. It can print on a 8.5" x 14 paper and it also takes different sizes of envelopes. It also has a paper tray that can hold 150 sheets.
The bundle includes a 1000 page yield Dell compatible toners, but it lacks a USB cable. You would need to order it separately for $35. It does have any Ethernet port, which means only one computer can use it at a given period.
It is powered by a 150 MHz processor with 2MB of RAM. Unfortunately, the RAM is not upgradable. This is going to make printing heavy documents very slow. Printing graphics is going to take a lot of time because of small memory. You are going to need a lot of patience if you plan to use this for printing a lot of graphics.
Dell's Toner Management application can monitor and alert you if the toner needs to be replenished. The utility CD even includes additional software that can monitor the printer's status thoroughly.
The bundled software supports Microsoft Widows ME, 2000, XP, and Vista. For Windows 7 users, you have to download the software from Dell's website. Like other Dell printers, it does not support Linux and Mac operating systems. The company did not develop any software to run on these operating systems.
The Dell 1110 printer is an affordable printer, which offers basic printing features. Printing cost is also something you might reconsider like the costs for laser toner cartridge. The average print costs around 3.3 cents, which is a bit expensive for a laser printer. It is still cheaper than most inkjet printers are, but it device lacks some of the features that we look forward to. Especially, for consistant printing you will want to make sure you have Dell ink and toner on hand, you would not want to run out of Dell Laser 1110 laser toner for that last minute work document. You might consider spending more money for a laser printer that can provide cheaper printing cost. However, this printer is perfect for people who prints occasionally, but does not want to spend a fortune for a laser printer.
