Gestetner DSm415 Toner Cartridges

Gestetner DSm415 Printer Review

The Gestetner DSm415 is a monochrome multifunction laser copier with optional printing and faxing features. Its limited speeds of 15 pages per minute are the main drawback, but its depth of features and affordable toners make it a solid value. It also has a compact design that won't take up too much space in a smaller office.

The base model of the DSm415 includes standard copying and basic scanning features. The DSm415f model adds faxing capabilities, and the DSm415pf also adds network printing. The latter also includes an ethernet port so that it can be easily shared among an office of multiple users, and wireless support is available as an upgrade if needed.

The control panel of the DSm415 lacks a full-color screen, but the LCD does a good job of displaying important information and keeping users alerted of error messages or letting them know when paper or Gestetner DSm415 printer toner are running low. There are also several buttons dedicated to quick dialing common numbers for faxing, and dedicated buttons for copy functions for fast walk-up access.

Operating costs are quite reasonable, thanks to the low cost of Gestetner DSm415 toner cartridges. Each replacement Gestetner DSm415 toner cartridge has an estimated yield of 7,000 pages, so the cost per page is a fraction of a penny. Those who want to save even more should consider compatible Gestetner DSm415 toner as an alternative to OEM supplies.

Some busy office users might find the paper handling a little limited, with a main tray that holds only 250 sheets and a bypass tray that holds 100 sheets. An extra 500-sheet tray can be added for extra capacity, and a 50-sheet automatic document feeder is included as a standard feature for fast scanning.

Whether buyers are looking for a dedicated copier or a device that can handle four functions in one, the Gestetner DSm415 is an affordable choice with a very compact design. With upgrade options to ensure future expansion and multiple models to choose from, buyers can find the right fit for their needs.
