Dell 1235cn Toner Cartridges

Dell 1235cn Printer Review

The Dell 1235cn is a solid color laser unit for a small office that is compact, affordable, reliable, and offers a slew of functions that will eliminate the need for multiple machines. The 1235cn can serve as a scanner, copier, fax machine and printer, all with the speed and quality required in a work environment. Up to 17 black-and-white documents can be printed each minute, while using all four colors of Dell 1235cn toner at the highest quality setting slows the output rate to 4 pages per minute.

The copy function has the capacity to duplicate images at about the same rate as printing. Both the copier and the fax machine can be used as stand-alone functions, without the need for a computer, and the 33.6 Kbps transmission rate allows faxes to be processed in as little as 3 seconds. This is all fueled by a 360 MHz processor and 128 MB of memory that keep multiple jobs in a queue without slowdowns. The input paper tray can hold up to 150 sheets.

With a total of four Dell 1235cn toner cartridges installed during operation, this unit weighs about 35 pounds and has a frame that measures 16x15x13 inches. Though this is not the most compact laser printer on the market, it will fit comfortably on any desk or table space in the home or office. Fortunately, an ethernet port is built in to provide networking; so multiple computers can connect simultaneously. The base model, the Dell 1235c, only offers a USB port.

As far as quality, the maximum resolution that can be reached with the Dell 1235cn printer toner is 2400x600 dpi, which is relatively high for an office all-in-one machine. These toners do not just provide professional output quality; they are also cost-effective and keep the lifetime maintenance costs low. The black printer toner can yield up to 1,500 pages and the color Dell 1235cn toner cartridges can yield 1,000 each, minimizing the cost per page.

Multiple functions, various features, fast speed and excellent quality are the primary elements that make the Dell 1235cn a good choice for small offices. Its affordable price and low running costs make it a solid value.
