Dell 3115cn Printer Review


Overview

The Dell 3115cn is an amazing printer with many great features. These features include high quality printing, high speed printing and faxing and works with networking. If you need to get the job done fast and right, this 4-in-1 printer is perfect. With a great design that is robust and energetic, this printer has an increased monthly duty cycle. Because of this, you can print high quality prints at an increased rate to get the job done right.

Pros

The Dell 3115cn is a really fast printer that is able to create black and white prints at 31 pages per minute with a resolution of 600 by 600 DPI.

You can easily copy and scan multiple prints with the Dell 3115cn. The reason for this is because it comes with a document feeder that can allow for 50 pages. Since it has such a big document feeder, no more feeding the printer with paper over and over again.

With the optional auto-duplexing feature, you are able to print both sides of the page easily. With this feature, you can easily cut down on costs when printing booklets and other printing materials. This decreases costs and helps the environment as well because it decreases printing space.

The Dell 3115cn can produce high quality prints and scans since the scanner is a high quality color scanner. Since it works with a network., you can easily scan to the computer or save to the computer.

You can also scan and archive office documents because this printer comes enabled with bundled software with powerful tools.

You can also use it as a fax machine and send faxes right from your computer. This printer allows you to fax from your email as well. You do not even have to sit at the computer while faxing. You can set it to do it automatically and go off and do other tasks.

Since it is network enabled, you can create 50 extra user accounts because it has a color track control tool. There are other features including being able to set limits for black and white prints and color prints, setting printing permissions for individuals as well as workgroups and being able to use a tool to track user information and usage. This can all be done remotely.

The MFP is flexible and can be upgraded many different ways. A wireless printer can also be installed to work with a laptop that is WI-FI compatible. You can also add a 550 paper feeder to increase the paper feeder to 950 sheets. This increase in the paper feeder is great for high volume printing jobs. For large printing jobs, the memory can be increased from 128 MB to 1152 MB. Another great thing about this is being able to work with large scanning jobs such as brochures, catalogs and other marketing resources.

Cons

The Dell 3115cn is really difficult to set up. The manual does not help like it should because it is not clear on many things. For the set-up, you will also need technical knowledge as well as some knowledge of TCI/IP.

The LCD display is a little hard to read and the commands have to be entered in as plain text.

This printer is not for you if you need your office up and running fast and efficiently. This is because the auto-duplexing feature does not come free with the printer and is only an optional upgrade.

The design is not that great and is a little clunky. The automatic paper feeder will also jam up often. Using this printer will make you waste 10% of the paper because the printer runs hot and the paper feeder jams up frequently. Because of this, the print and scan quality comes out poor.

Although with the auto-duplexing feature you should be saving paper and time since it is supposed to print on both sides, it is usually impossible to do this because of the automatic paper feeder.

Panasonic DP 8035

The Panasonic DP-8035 offers networking capability as well as monochrome laser multifunctionality, with printing, copying, scanning and faxing. The DP-8035 is aimed firmly at businesses who demand high quality, high speed documentation. It has a lot to offer and has enough features to keep the busiest office humming.

Out of the box, the device can be configured and functioning in minutes. The setup procedure is simple and pretty self-explanatory. The DP-8035 comes with USB, network and parallel connections built in. Network and USB worked as soon as they were plugged in, and the drivers installed on the PCs. The enclosed user guide is very easy to follow, which is ideal users of any level.

The build quality is good, with a solid feeling build quality that should make owners feel quite confident in the machine. The control panel is well laid out, with enough space between buttons for even the largest fingers. The layout is easy to use, each function having its own little area around the LCD screen.

The standard paper tray holds 1550 and the multipurpose tray a further 50. There is a built in hard drive, secure printing and faxing facility and an extensive Panasonic documentation suite. Toner is used efficiently, and a standard replacement will easily last 33000 sheets.

Printing and copying produced good quality output. Text was clear and crisp, pages with images were pretty good for a laser and were well defined. The speed of operation is also quite fast, with printing or copying at up to 35 pages per minute. The built in automatic duplexer helping to speed things along for those double sided prints.

Scanning was also good. It can handle Resolutions of up to 600 dpi and produces good clear scans. The only thing you can’t do with it is scan over a network as standard. There is the option to add it though if you need it.

This is a thoroughly useful machine that has enough features to serve any situation. Good print quality makes this an ideal candidate for those businesses who don’t need to print or copy in color. Reasonable toner costs, fast printing, network scanning and built in networking makes the DP-8035 is a good purchase for almost any office.

Review of the Copystar CS 1820


Overview:

The Copystar CS-1820, a multifunctional printer, is equipped with print, scan, copy and the   capacity to fax. This printer is compact and potent meant for small offices that do not need a printer for mass printing needs.

Pros:

For a multifunctional printer the CS-1820 provides extraordinary speeds when it comes to output; for letter paper it prints at 18 ppm, and for legal paper it prints at 15 ppm. When it comes to the copy and printing speeds the same response is expected. When it comes to initial copy results it clocks in at 9.5 seconds or less. For initial print results it is even more remarkable as it clocks in at 8 seconds. When it comes to resolution the Copystar CS-1820 is exciting. It has a standard resolution of 600 x 600 dpi and 256 levels. When combined with Fast 1200 mode the resolution increases to 1800 x 600 dpi, and with KIR it reaches a resolution of 2400 x 600 dpi. These impressive resolutions are due to its customary 96MB of memory which when a 100 Pin DIMMS slot is integrated into it the memory increases to 320MB. When you perform the upgrade it allows the printer to handle the increased resolutions without issue along with other features and capabilities of the printer. To help produce jobs that need to be adapted via magnification this printer has an automatic magnification that is full size. It has the ability to zoom in 1% increments from 50% to 200%.

The Copystar CS-1820 has the ability to handle imaging for text and photo products; it accomplishes this using automated and manual exposure controls. This printer also comes equipped with an ECO function which saves on toner and power usage lowering production costs. The CS-1820 can copy uninterrupted up to 999 copies, and then can be reset automatically back to 1 copy. In addition it comes with other options for copying including; paper select, copy priority, 8 job plans, electronic sorting and a job cache.

This printer uses an implanted controller that has a PowerPC 750 processor with a whopping 300MHz, and the RAM is shared by all the various functions. Network capable it will support the following protocols; TCP/IP, AppleTalk, and NETBEUI. When scanning in color you can choose resolutions from 200 to 600 dpi in increments of 100 dpi with the exception of 500 dpi. Scan production speeds are reasonable with monochrome speeds of 18 ppm and color speeds of 5 ppm. Fax capabilities are optional to include network faxing. Fax capabilities come with a G3 modem working at a speed of 33 Kbps. When transmitting it takes about 3 seconds per page, and the quick scan ability works in less than 2.5 seconds.

Equipped with a 50 sheet multipurpose tray for media and a standard 250 sheet paper tray; the CS-1820 can come with an additional 250 sheet paper tray option. Also included is a document feeder for 50 sheets of paper that feeds automatically for up to 18 genuine papers per minute and processes paper with a weight of 13 to 32 lbs.

Cons:
With limited capabilities when it comes to volume, the condensed size of the Copystar CS-1820 may hinder it. If an office requires a multifunctional printer that can process high levels of output then it is not nearly big enough as it only measures 19.5 x 16.6 x 17.9 inches.

HP LaserJet 1320

The HP LaserJet 1320 is a laser monochrome printer that aims high, and doesnt let you down. You get a lot of printer for the money, something that would serve a small or home office faithfully.

The first thing you notice about it is the fact that it’s compact. Its a reasonable sized cube not much larger than a legal sized sheet of paper. Setting it up is simple, just connect it, pull the tape from the cartridge and install the drivers.

There is a 250 sheet paper tray at the front on the bottom, and a single sheet feeder for odd shaped media. There is also the option to add a further 250 sheet paper tray to the bottom. The control interface is minimal, but has everything you need. There are three lights for toner level, paper jam and data and two buttons that will begin or cancel a print job. The power switch is at the bottom on the right, which is much better than having it on the back like many other models.

The print quality is pretty good for such a compact machine. The HP designers have done well with relatively little space. The standard 600 dpi print engine produces text that is crisp and clean while remaining black. Images and photos are well drawn, with grayscale showing minimal smudging and good coverage. A print speed of 13 pages per minute is a little shy of HPs claimed 21 but thats no real detraction from the quality of this device.

The LaserJet 1320 comes with a starter toner, replacements can last for 2500 pages and cost around $38, while a high yield will last for 6000. As the cartridge and toner are one unit, there is no extra expense of replacing drums every 20000 pages like most other laser printers. This lowers the cost per page significantly.

The main advantage of the LaserJet 1320 is its relative low cost versus its quality. For the quality of the prints it produces, it should be much more expensive than it is. Not that were knocking the value here. If you see one of these on the market, and need a good printer, snap it up before someone else does.
