Dell 1815DN
The Dell 1815DN is another printer is a series of releases from the computer giant of late. This device is a relatively inexpensive monochrome laser printer, with multifunction built in. It can duplex print, scan, copy and fax all from one modest chassis.
This is a printer that would suit a small business or home office with a small workgroup. It isn’t built like the 3115cn to serve larger organizations, but excels in its niche. Versatility is one of the mainstays of this machine. It can print good quality monochrome pages at up to 25 pages per minute at 600dpi, scan from USB stick, it supports Windows and Mac and the copying and faxing aren’t bad either. It can be networked or run from USB and cope with up to 25000 pages a month.
The 1815DN comes with a 300 sheet paper tray, with the option of increasing that to 550 with an extra tray purchase. Toner cartridges are easily replaceable after they have served their 5000 page life. They are reasonably priced too at an approximate cost of $57 each. This helps bring the cost per page down much lower than many of the other leading printer manufacturers.
The control panel is simple and straightforward with decent sized buttons and a clear LCD screen. The menu system is intuitive with forward and back buttons making commands easy to find.
Underneath the control panel is the paper output tray. Having it integrated into the chassis makes this a very convenient and compact printer. No side trays, or top trays to worry about here. It even has a little slideable shelf to ensure prints longer than legal sized won’t end up on the floor. A well thought out addition we thought. The only limitation with this output tray design is that it limits the prints to 150 sheets before it fills up. Seeing as the capacity is 300-550 sheets, this seems a little one sided.
The print, copy and scan qualities are excellent. Prints and scans are around 25 pages per minute according to Dell, with color at 18. Scans are an impressive 4 sheets a minute. Copy speed is one of the most impressive in its class, with monochrome copies coming out at 12 pages per minute.
The fax is an oft overlooked feature in a multifunction device. Sometimes it seems as though one was added only as an afterthought. On the 1815DN though, the fax is fully integrated and fully functioned. Faxes can be sent from or directed to specific email addresses, it fully supports secure transmission and it can be coupled with an answering machine and decide if an incoming call is voice or data. As well as the usual fax tools, these are useful to have.
The 1815DN is a solid performer. Ideal for the small or home business who wants a good quality multifunction printer at a decent price. Consumables are reasonable and the printer won’t cost a fortune to own.
