Dell 2155CN Printer Review

Overview
The Dell 2155cn is a laser printer that offers many features that allow you to get the job done with value and execution. This printer offers features that are both good and bad. The good features include a sufficient printing speed, a big tray for holding paper, and 256MB of memory already installed. The bad features include being bulky and big in design and it does not offer duplex features that are automatic.
Pros
This printer does not offer the highest resolution that you see in other multifunctional printers, but it does produce pictures that are lucid, vivid, and have wonderful color at 600x600 dots per inch. This laser printer allows up to 40,000 pages per month, which is not meant to cause any damage to the printer or major wear and tear.
The printing speeds you would find on a normal printer are basically what you will find with the Dell 2155cn. It does print in both black and white and color, at a rate of 24 pages each minute. Since there is not an automatic duplex option available so the only way that you can print on both sides of the paper is to perform this function manually.
The Dell 2155cn does offer other options that improve the printers functioning ability. There is an Ethernet port which allows the user to network multiple computers to the printer. While there are not any built-in wireless options if does have a port for an external wireless device. It also has the ability to print from a flash drive or camera as it has a USB 2.0 port.
The laser printer comes equipped with a paper tray that will hold 250 pages. The ability to hold so much paper helps cut down on restocking frequently. The printer can use all kinds of paper from original and dense paper, envelopes, labels, postcards and coated paper. If you have paper that measures 8.5 x 14 inches, it can print on that as well. While it offers installed memory it is not Energy Star rated.
Cons
This printer takes up a large space as it is large and heavy. It measures in at 22.81 inches tall, 17.1 inches wide, and 21 inches thick, which is some of the greatest factors on a laser printer. Not only is it bulky but it weighs 66 pounds.
The control panel is set on the top of the device and has a small screen that will help you with the printer's options and settings. The printer has quite a few buttons, and the display panel makes it confusing to use.
While this laser printer offers many functions it does have its setbacks. These include duplex printing, largeness, and interface issues. But overall it does have a lot of functions that make it a very usable laser printer for an office. The ability to network and the large amount of installed memory is definitely a bonus on this printer. Also the ability to hold a large amount of paper makes it convenient.
