Dell W5300 Toner Cartridges

Dell W5300 Printer Review

The Dell W5300 monochrome laser printer has been manufactured with larger corporate workgroups in mind. The printer is rated for a 225,000 page duty cycle each month and is equipped with 80 MB of standard memory which gives it an edge in larger print jobs. This zippy printer prints at 45 pages per minute and will produce accurate text down to even the smallest of font sizes. The Dell 2130cn toner color printer compliments the W5300 very well. A detailed owner's manual is available via PDF or the CD-ROM included with the packaging.

Set up is fairly simple and a quick start guide is provided for your convenience. A Status Monitor program will alert you to any issues with the current print job directly on your desktop monitor. Multiple Status Monitors on multiple printers can be maintained by using the Status Monitor System to ensure the correct messages are delivered to the correct individuals on the network. Networking is standard with 10/100 Base T ethernet connections and an RJ-45 port. A web configuration tool assists the end user in the networking set up process requiring very little work from the user.

The Dell W5300 toner cartridges are available in three different sizes. Even the smallest size Dell toner cartridge has a formidable page yield of 18,000 pages. At 21,000 and 32,000 pages, the high and extra-high capacity Dell W5300 toner cartridges will easily support a large corporate workforce the printer was intended for.

The interface on the printer allows for access and setting of the printer's features and functions. The menu is a bit cumbersome but with a little effort it can be understood and used effectively. Additional paper trays of 250 or 500 sheets may be added to the Dell W5300 for an additional cost. Duplexing and an envelope feeder are also available as optional components. The Dell W5300 was released in 2003 and delivers quality printing and resolution at zippy speeds.
