subject: A Brief Examination Of 3115cn Printer By Dell [print this page] The Dell 3115cn printer does more for the workplace that just churn out prints. It's a 4-in-1 machine that prints, reproduces, scans and sends fax. Additionally, it's flexible enough to leave room for upgrading, which can meet the growing demands of the workplace in the future. And when used with Dell Color Laser 3115cn toners, your prints will come out better than you would ever imagined possible.
It has an 18.1-inch width, 22.4-inch depth and 28.7-inch height. Within it lies a processor with 400 MHz. Such is capable of doing 31 monochrome prints every minute, or 17 colored prints every minute. It can turn out pages with resolutions of up to 600 x 600 dpi, 2400 image quality. An automatic 50-page document feeder saves the operator from feeding the sheets one by one manually.
The flatbed scanner in full color can perform scanning tasks of documents or images with such correctness. And it may be accessed whether connected to a network or workstation. Paper jams and other similar problems need not get in the way of productivity as there's a large document feeder around. A busy office setting can especially benefit from such, where there's little tolerance for any setback or delay.
Send faxes with the 3115cn conveniently even without a computer, as it can act as a stand-alone fax machine. Connected to one, you can send documents right from your e-mail with the high-speed fax modem. Again, since the document feeder has a 50-page capacity, you can do other tasks while sending multiple pages of documents.
Maintaining productivity cost to a minimum is important, especially these days where the price of everything is rising. And that's why Dell has incorporated a color control tool called the ColorTrack. This enables you to economize by determining the way the printer is accessed by either an individual or workgroup. A max of 50 user or workgroup accounts can be set, and each one can be supervised through a web configuration program. It's possible to enable or disable access to the printer, and set certain limits for color or monochrome printing.
Then there's also the Dell Toner Management System, or DTMS. This is a proactive means of alerting the user should you run low on Dell Color Laser toner. Notification is done in three different ways. First is by means of the alert on the machine's LCD. Second is by means of any workstation that's part of the network. Third is by sending an e-mail notification to the personnel responsible for replacing the cartridge.
Standard memory amounts to 256 MB - that's 128 MB for printing, and another 128 MB shared by copying, scanning and faxing tasks. Such can be upgraded to a maximum of 1152 MB to efficiently handle massive tasks. But other than the onboard memory, there are many other features which can be expanded as well. This way, as the demands of the growing work environment increases, this 4-in-1 printer can easily catch up.
