Dell 5210n – Lavish Capacity At An Frugal Price
In working with the Dell 5210n laser printer, you’ll soon find that it and the Dell 5210n Toner Cartridge cartridge make a good team. The 5210n delivers satisfactory print speeds and acceptable print quality, has a list price under a grand, and seems tailored for medium computer network printing duties.
Output capacity. The included 250 sheet paper tray is adequate for most medium-duty printing requirements. It can hold a massive 2600 pages with the inclusion of optional 500 sheet trays. The 5210n is also rated for monthly duty cycles of 200,000 pages, which should be as much as any medium-size workgroup would need under most any circumstance.
Hooking it Up. The Dell 5210n laser printer is equipped with industry standard USB 2.0 and 10/100 Ethernet jacks, in addition to being upgradeable to optional wireless (802.11 standard) networking modes. For IT folks having responsibility for this unit’s care and feeding, it should be a snap to integrate it into a network and keep it humming along.
Print Quality. Printing quality is good. It delivers 1200 by 1200dpi, which makes for a sharp, crisp appearance on the paper. Graphics production is also solid, and it produces good-quality black and white page output, with no fuzziness or granularity to pictures or other items on the page.
Memory. Memory in the 5210n is good, with a standard 64 megabytes available. This is expandable up to 576 megs, making it more-than-adequate for almost any business printing need. Plus, the memory is easily installed into the laser printer with little or no fuss.
Ease of Utility. The 5210n Printer lets networked workgroups of medium size create print jobs with very little drama. At 40ppm of printed page output, there shouldn’t be much waiting around for a whole print job to appear. If you duplex print, though, output drops by ten pages, to 30ppm. With all the different types of connection ports that come with the printer, finding a good way to interface with the local network should be fairly simple.
Toners and Maintenance. The Dell 5210n, like most Dell products, is set up with one year of 24/7 on-site service, if needed. That can be extended a further 4 years, for a fee. The Dell 5210n laser toner cartridge puts out 10,000 pages and optional cartridges can double that amount, which makes the Dell unlikely to see much in the way of service calls.
Summing it Up. This printer makes a good candidate for mid-size network workgroups. The Dell 5210n Printer has a wide variety of interface ports which make it easy to integrate into most any network in a short amount of time, which tends to make IT folks happy. There are also higher capacity Dell 5210n printer toner cartridges which can put out over 20,000 pages, too. Also, the printer’s toner management system will notify you via email if it starts running low on toner ink. Combined with the built-in network configuration software and the attractive case and enclosure, the Dell 5210n makes an ideal candidate for networked workgroups.
