Dell 3115cn - A Diverse Printer That Keeps On Printing

April 9th, 2009

Adding the Dell 3115cn printer to a small business can prove to be a wise decision. Combining monochrome and color printing with scan and fax functions, this all-in-one unit may be just the ticket if you need a multi-function printer. The 3115cn, at fewer than 500 dollars, can perform solo or within a network of computers. And the Dell 3115cn Printer Toner Cartridge are priced reasonably through Dell’s website or from a number of other vendors. A person just starting a small business could do worse than to have this machine in the mix.

Printing Speeds. In black and white, the Dell 3115cn prints documents at 31 pages per minute and 17 pages per minute in color. Actual print speeds can be slower, depending upon selected printing quality. It has an automatic document feeder, too, which lets you copy a particular document of up to 50 pages without having to feed each one into the unit.

Long-Lasting. With a monthly duty cycle of about 60,000 pages, it can be quite some time before you’ll need any maintenance upkeep. This is sure to please the cost-conscious home business owner. Actual print output from the Dell 3115cn laser toner cartridge runs about 5000 black and white and 4000 color documents.

Print Quality. Standard print is good, at 600dpi, 2400 image quality. Colors are sharp and clear, and resolution is well within acceptable ranges.

Supplemental Facts. The Dell 3115cn Printer faxes, scans and produces good-quality monochrome and color documents. If you’re just starting out in your business, the fact that it’s an all-in-one could be a plus. You won’t need to buy separate fax and scanner machines, leaving a bit more green in your wallet for other more important business matters. The unit also helps manage document archiving through its proprietary PaperPort 10 software. And the fax can serve solo or through a linked-in PC or network.

Keeping Track of Toners. All printers eventually need new toner. Dell’s tracking system (included with the printer) makes getting it done relatively easily. It’ll even send you an email telling you when it’s time to feed it some more toner. Also, you can select which among your network of computers will be allowed to print color documents and which won’t. This can save precious color printing resources.

It’s Multi-Dimensional. With a machine as versatile as the Dell 3115cn and its Dell 3115cn laser toners, high volume print jobs can be handled with little muss or fuss. And because it’s an all-in-one, there’s little worry about also hooking up scanners or faxes. It comes with USB 2.0 and Ethernet ports along with an optional 802.11 wireless capability, which might help eliminate unsightly wires and cables lying around in the office.

Storage and Memory. The printer’s paper storage can be upped with the addition of a 550 sheet paper tray that bumps total storage to 950 sheets. Standard memory comes in at 128 megabytes, but is upgradeable to 1152 megs, which will handle just about any graphics-rich print job.

Summary. The Dell 3115cn combines black and white and color laser printing with scanning and fax capabilities. The included Dell 3115cn Toner come with large output printing capacities and it prints out documents at acceptable per-minute ranges. It also comes standard with Dell’s 24/7 on-site support in the first year, which can also be extended another 4 years for a small fee. It’s a rugged printer, too, so costs on the maintenance side should be low. Per-page printing costs for black and white come in at about 14 cents and color at about 94 cents, both of which are right in the ballpark for units such as this Dell.
