Dell 3130CN Printer

This Dell unit offers a fast and powerful machine. Text documents are produced at 25 pages per minute and graphics pages are printed at 5.7 ppm. The speed does not mean a sacrifice in quality however as prints are rated as superior to those of similar machines.

As supplied, the machine offers two feed trays. The standard tray holds 250 sheets of standard sized office paper. The multipurpose tray holds an additional 150 sheets and can be adjusted to fit several sizes. The output tray holds 250 sheets of paper. If additional capacity is needed, an optional feed tray gives room for another 550 sheets, plenty of paper to keep up with the great speed of this machine using Dell printer toner.

One of the greatest advantages of laser units is the savings in cost of actually producing prints. This machine uses four toner cartridges, black, yellow, magenta and cyan. The standard black cartridge produces 4000 prints, while each of the color cartridges will produce 3000 prints. For additional savings on prints, high yield cartridges are available in both black and colors. Each of the high yield cartridges will produce 9000 prints.

While many other machines in the same price range include the duplexing unit, Dell has chosen to allow consumers to purchase this unit as an option. Use of a duplexing unit can save even more costs as many prints can be produced using the two-sided option. Consumers will find that the cost of the duplexing unit is quickly recovered in the money saved on paper for prints used in the office.

Users will find plenty of help through the decals that are attached to the machine. These directions give help in loading additional paper as well as changing the toner. With these directions, employees will easily be able to add supplies as needed. These directions help to keep the machine running even if the primary operator is out of the office for the day. The directions also help the operator to spend less time thumbing through the user's manual.

Actual users of this specific machine report it to be both dependable and fast. The dependability factor is a major selling point for employees of businesses that are switching from individual units to a centralized work group printer. If the centralized unit continually breaks down, the employees are likely to want to go back to individual machines.

No matter the reason for upgrading the computer printer, small offices as well as workgroups will find that the Dell 3130CN printer with Dell 3130cn cartridges, offers an excellent choice for their use. Prints are superior to many other similarly priced machines and produced quickly that uses Dell bulk toner. The addition of the second paper feed tray and the duplexing unit allows the users to produce larger jobs and to reduce the cost of both ink toner cartridge and paper. The printer is user friendly and thus a good choice for more than one user.
