Dell 5310n Laser Toner: Perfect For Any Office
The Dell 5310n laser printer works well right out of the box. Mainly for use in small (no more than 10) computer networks or as a really durable home-based business printer, the 5310n can be had at a price well under its current list of about 900 dollars. If you need a high-speed black-and-white laser printer that’s easy to hook up to a computer or a series of networked computers, then the Dell 5310n could be the one for you. Additionally, the ease of use of its cartridge (Dell 5310n Toner Cartridges) is a definite plus.
Does it Print Fast? The Dell 5310n can fire off 50ppm of print output, which should be sufficient for almost any application. Networks of the size this unit is designed to handle usually don’t require super-high speeds, for the most part. This printer also warms up quickly from start up, taking no more than 60 seconds to be ready to print. If it’s already warm, expect to take no more than 10 seconds.
Installing Ease. Most IT folks will enjoy how easy the Dell 5310n is to integrate into a network. Using the enclosed CD for guidance, just download applicable drivers and coordinate installation through the network’s service, and that’s about it. With USB and Ethernet ports standard, it’s pretty simple to hook it to most servers or networks.
Compatibility. The 5310n works with Windows-based computers, Macs, or UNIX platforms. It has 128 megabytes of internal memory, making it more than adequate for most any print job. Also, up to 640 megs of external memory can be piled on. It has no problem working well with Vista, XP, 2000, ME and many Mac OS versions, in addition to NT, Linux and Citrix platforms.
Printing Capabilities. The Dell has an advertised capacity of 250,000 pages per month. The included Dell 5310n is good for about 10,000 pages before it has to be replaced. In most small businesses, this is extremely generous, which will help to drive down the per-page printing cost over time. A high-capacity 20,000 page toner cartridge can also be used.
How Much Paper? The standard tray holds about 500 sheets. If you need to, you can add additional trays, bringing the total storage capacity to 2,500. This helps to make the 47 pound Dell 5310n easy to deploy, maintain, and use.
Remember This. Dell 5310n laser toners are widely available, both from Dell and from several vendors. If you want to spend a bit more money, you can go with a 20,000 page cartridge, though the standard capacity is probably enough for most small networks that’ll be using this printer. Additionally, produced printed page quality is pretty good.
