Dell 1235cn Toner Cartridges

Dell 1235cn Printer Review

If the small office is in need an all-in-one machine, one worth considering is the Dell 1235cn. Faxing, copying, printing and scanning at decent speeds and with high quality users will find this color laser machine to be a great fit. Able to produce 20,000 pages every month, most small offices will find their needs both met and surpassed. Though it has a somewhat heavy weight of 34 pounds, that shouldn't be a deterrent, especially because it makes a small footprint—the dimensions are only 16.3x14.7x13.5 inches. Upon purchase, 128 MB of memory are included, but unlike many similar options, the memory cannot be upgraded.

Inside the unit buyers will find four Dell 1235cn toner cartridges used for operation. These toners include cyan, magenta, yellow and black. The black printer toner lasts 1,500 pages before replacements are needed, and the color toners should last 1,000 pages. The cost per page of the Dell 1235cn toner cartridges is a little pricey, but remanufactured replacements are available from third party vendors that cost a lot less but produce the same quality documents as the genuine OEM versions.

When using the Dell 1235cn toner resolutions as high as 2400x600 dpi can be reached for printing. The speeds are decent at 17 pages per minute for black-and-white prints or copies, but the color speed is quite slow, averaging around 4 pages per minute. The fax offers PC faxing, as well a processor of 33.6 Kbps.

The Dell 1235cn laser printer is quite versatile too. Photo paper, labels, plain paper, cards, envelopes and transparencies are all compatible for printing, and up to 15 sheets of paper can fit in the automatic document feeder. The standard input tray can hold 150 sheets of paper, while the output trays can hold 80 pages. Ethernet and USB connective options are both supported, and Windows and Mac operating systems are compatible.
