Some Features

Its form factor allows it to be placed on a desktop or just about any available surface capable of supporting its weight of 53 pounds. But because of this weight, moving it from spot to spot may be impractical. It measures 16.7 inches x 16.5 inches x 17 inches (W x D x H). Choosing a printer matching the furnishings of an office is important to maintain a cohesive look. Fortunately, it's available in midnight gray and ion silver that can go well with most other colors and furnishings.

A 300 MHz processor defines the performance of this machine. Black and white printing speed is set at 25 ppm (pages per minute), while color printing is at 5 ppm. These printing speeds, however, will depend on factors such as the contents of a document. Maximum optical resolution of 600 x 600 dpi (dots per inch) is sufficient to produce crisp details and lively colors each time.

A 64-MB memory is pre-installed upon purchasing this Dell offering. However, such may be expanded to a 576-MB memory via its built-in expansion slot. It also makes use of the innovative four-cartridge system (2K black, 1K cyan, 1K yellow and 1K magenta). Duty cycle is around 20,000-49,999 impressions per month for optimum performance. Duty volume is 45,000 pages per month, which makes the 3000cn suitable for a small workgroup of PCs.

Up to 900 sheets can be handled by this machine at a time, for both input and output. A variety of media sizes can be used: letter, legal, folio, executive, statement, JIS-B5, A4 and A5. Media types supported include: regular paper, coated, cards, transparencies, envelopes, etc. For back-and-front printing, there's an optional duplex available. Such allows for conservation of paper and meeting increased output demands.

Hooking up this machine to the office network is hassle-free with the available 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port. Additionally, there are other connectivity options such as high-speed USB 2.0 and parallel IEEE1284 for easy attaching to a PC. With the Dell Printer Web Tool, an administrator can setup, install and configure the machine right away. Since it's a web-based tool, internet hookup is necessary to be able to use it.

Other tools are also included for an office to be able to take full advantage of this machine. For effective monitoring of toner and other consumables, there's the Dell Laser Toners Management System. It can send the administrator an e-mail when the toner runs low. It also allows for easy ordering of replacements online. There's also the Dell Color Track tool which permits the administrator to designate certain printing conditions to a PC or the whole network.

With all these features, the Dell 3000cn printer and Dell printer toner cartridges are suitable for a small workgroup of PCs capable of handling usual office documents. It's versatile, compact and easy to operate. Additionally, it comes with an affordable price tag while still boasting of remarkable color laser performance. And when coupled with its famous Dell toners, this device will produce the highest quality documents that will surprise even the more experienced printer.
