The Dell 1720 printer using the Dell Laser 1720 compatible toner can offer fast printing, without breaking the bank. This unit is designed for speed since this offers a fast 30 pages per minute printing. With a price of $180, you will be able to buy a very inexpensive fast printer that leaves its competitors behind. Sadly, duplex printing and networking is something that this model can not do.

The printer weighs around 25 pounds, and is 10 inches tall. It has a duty cycle of 25,000 pages per month, which is quite high for something that costs less than $200. It has 366 MHz processor with an expandable 16MB memory. The RAM or memory can be upgraded to a total of 144MB.

It has a simple two-button control panel. One cancel button and one continue button. There are also a couple of LEDs, which alerts you if there are any problems. The package also includes a 250-sheet paper try that you can upgrade to a 550-sheet drawer.

The Dell 1720 printer has a slot above the tray which works as a manual feed tray. Paper guides are also available in this unit in order for you to adjust the fit of the sizes of any paper. However, this printer does not include the straight print through feature that is available in other printers. This implies that it will have a hard time accepting thick media.

This has a 3000-page yield Dell toner that you can return to Dell. You can even get a $30 discount offer from your used cartridges from the manufacturer. If you return the old cartridge, a brand new 3,000-page cartridge cost around $70. But, you might also want to have the high capacity version that can print 6,000 pages. This would only cost you around $90 if you purchase it through the company with their return promo and use.

The machine's printing speed and price are the two things that make this product attractive. It was even able to beat other laser printers that were a little bit more expensive. Printing quality is also another plug for this product. It was able to print flawless text documents, and mono graphics were detailed. However, if you are printing a color picture, you might want to reconsider. This is a mono laser printer, which means it cannot depict color that well.

The manufacturer also sells a wireless adapter at around $60. This accessory is absolutely useful most especially if your switch or router is far away. But, this accessory is just optional. The package includes a parallel and USB cable, which would save around $60. The free printer management application is also very user-friendly. This 1720 printer also includes the Dell Open Manage Printer manager that lets you manage a fleet of printers. This software will also alert you if the cartridge needs to be replaced.
