Make Complicated Printing Tasks A Breeze With The Dell 3000cn Printer

A color laser ideal for a small network is the Dell 3000cn printer. It comes with the highest quality 3000cn toner, which any office can take advantage of to produce professional-looking documents. While carrying with it quality performance, operating this machine is relatively hassle-free. Likewise, an office that's budget-conscious will find its affordable price to be a huge advantage.

Because it has a compact body, it can be placed on practically any flat surface available which can sustain its weight of 53 lbs. But this weight may make it somewhat difficult to move it frequently. Its form factor measures 16.7" (width) x 16.5" (depth) x 17" (height). Choosing the things installed in the office is important to achieve a cohesive look, including a printer. Fortunately, it comes in two colors that can easily match other furnishings: ion silver and midnight gray.

Within it is a processor with a 300 MHz speed. It's capable of churning out 25 pages every minute (black and white) and 5 pages per minute (colored). These printing speeds will still depend on certain factors, such as the media used or the document's contents. The 600 x 600 dots per inch optical resolution allows for printing crisp details and bold colors.

From the box, it comes installed with a memory amounting to 64 MB. But because there's an expansion slot, the memory may be expanded to as much as 576 MB. This machine also has a four-cartridge ink system - 2K black, 1K magenta, 1K yellow and 1K cyan. For optimum performance, Dell set its duty cycle per month to 20,000-49,999 pages. Duty volume per month is at 45,000 pages, making it ideal for a small network of PCs.

Up to 900 sheets can be handled by this machine at a time, for both input and output. A variety of media sizes can be used: letter, legal, folio, executive, statement, JIS-B5, A4 and A5. Media types supported include: regular paper, coated, cards, transparencies, envelopes, etc. For back-and-front printing, there's an optional duplex available. Such allows for conservation of paper and meeting increased output demands.

The integrated Ethernet (10/100 BaseT) port makes it easy to install your 3000cn to a network. It's also possible to attach this machine to a singular PC, thanks to other interfaces available, like the high-speed USB and IEEE1284 parallel ports. For hassle-free installation, setting up and configuration, Dell has thrown in the Printer Web Tool. But since it's a web-based application, an internet hookup is necessary.

There are two more functional tools found on this machine. The Toner Management System allows for effective toner monitoring, as well as other consumables. One of the things it can do is alert the administrator by sending an e-mail when the toner runs low or goes empty. Ordering of replacement is also facilitated online. The Color Track Tool makes it possible to attain lower printing costs by assigning cost-effective machine-use conditions to a PC or the network.

Having all these features makes the Dell 3000cn printer with Dell toner suitable for a small network. It can handle printing tasks of everyday office documents efficiently. It's compact, functional, easy to use and affordable - all these without sacrificing notable color laser printer performance.
