Dell Laser 1100 Printer - Plow Through Your Work With Ease

The Dell 1100 printer sells for around $85 to $100. It's a device designed for the average user offering decent text and graphic printing quality with the Dell 1100 toner cartridge. The printing speed is 14 pages per minute, which is an average speed for most home printers. If you think 14 pages per minute is too slow, you might as well spend a little more money for faster devices.
The colors are the patented gray and white of Dell. It weight around 12 pounds, which is the same with other printers. The paper tray is a slight drawback because it always remains open. This is a design makes is very vulnerable to dust.

The device's control panel is very user-friendly. The two LED's will tell you if it is jammed or busy. There is button on the panel you can press to feed the paper or to cancel a job. The tray on top can also hold around 50 sheets.

Just in case the device jams, you can easily remove the toner cartridge, which is under the main door. The company's design also made it very easy to put back in. The USB cable is sold separately, which is odd as this printer can only be connected through USB.

Even a child can connect the Dell 1100 Laser printer. It comes with a poster that systematically illustrates the steps on how to connect and install it. Even its drivers are automatically loaded. Sad to say, Windows is the only operating system supported. Linux and Mac users will not be able to use this device as there is no driver or software available.

This Dell printer is able to deliver a maximum of 600 x 600 dpi resolution, a feature that rivals other printers under the same price range. The 150 MHz process is relatively fast when compared to other devices. Unfortunately, the machine only has 2 Megabyte RAM. Due to the size of RAM, it's only able to handle spreadsheets, grayscale graphics, and text. For best results, print with Dell toner.

A 1,000-page yield cartridge is included with the printer. It's a bit small for a starter kit as other manufacturer's are offering 2,000-page yield cartridges. The toner cartridge can be replaced with a 2,000-page yield one. Printing costs around 3.3 cents per page, which is quite expensive especially when compared to HP or Canon. Most laser printers can print a page for only 2.7 cents and lower.

The Dell 1100 printer can accept various paper sizes from 3' x 5' to 8.5' x 14'. The maximum printing area is A4 size. The 5,000 pages monthly duty cycle is just enough for most people. If you are planning to use this one for a all office, you might need to reconsider.

Printing speed and price is what makes the Dell 1100 printer a good buy. The manufacturer also has a trade in offer. All you have to do is turn over your old Dell printer for this device. There is no networking feature on this printer, which means you have to dedicate a PC. Another disadvantage of this printer is its 90-day warranty, which is very short compared to other manufacturers. The 1000-page yield cartridge is also a weakness, since others are offering better cartridges. In summary, this is a good printer, but is might to well to use it in addition to an all-in-one device or inkjet printer.

The cartridge is a nice partner for this printer. It offers all the quality one has come to expect from Dell, with the exceptional value that can be found from online retailers offering printer toner cartridges.
