A Toner Preview Of The Dell 1110 Cartridges
The Dell 1110 printer using Dell Laser 1110 toners 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.
The two lights indicate power and problems, like paper jams. It has a single button that can be used to cancel any ongoing printing job. The machine can only be connected through USB. People that use a laptop or other portables will find this difficult because their gadgets only have a limited number of USB ports. They would need to remove one of their devices in order to use the printer.
The machine can print 17 text pages per minute, which is about the same speed compared to other printers. However, the printer does not have an automatic duplex feature. As for grayscale document with text and graphics, it can handle 5 pages per minute. This laser printer also has a maximum printing resolution of 600 dpi.
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 printer is bundled with a 1,000 page yield Dell 1110 compatible toners. However, if the package does not include the USB cable, you would need to buy it separately for around $35. The machine does not have any networking capability, since it has no Ethernet port.
It has a 150 MHz processor and a 2MB memory. However, the memory or RAM is not expandable. When you are printing many documents, especially the ones with graphics on it, you need to be a little patient and wait for it to finish.
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.
It is compatible with Microsoft Windows Vista, XP, ME, and 2000. If you were using Windows 7, you would need to download its drivers and software from the manufacturer’s website. The device does not support Mac and Linux operating systems, since there are no available drivers for it.
In summary, the Dell 1110 printer using the Dell Laser 1110 compatible toners is good buy for a person that does not print a lot. The printing cost is a bit on the expensive side. A 2000 page yield toner cartridge would cost around $68, which makes an average of 3.3 cents per page. You can find and compare the price of Dell toners conveniently online. However, it is still cheaper than most inkjet printers are. This device is perfect for individual or home use, but if you want to use this as an office printer, you might as well spend a couple of dollars more.
