The Dell 1100 printer is an inexpensive product. The machine is made for average uses and offers Dell 1100 printer cartridge for good text as well as graphic printing qualities. The printer can produce about fourteen pages per minutes, which equals a standard printing rate. However, if you would like to print more than fourteen pages per minute, it may be better to invest in a more high-tech printing device.

The printer is made with the signature colors of Dell, grey and white. If the machine’s weight is important to you, be aware that it weighs about twelve pounds (this is typical of most printers). The only feature that users may find unsatisfactory may be the permanent open tray. The tray may build up dust. Therefore, you may need to clean it often.

For those who wish to have an easy to use machine, the Dell 1100 is very user-friendly and simple. There are two LED’s that notify the user of any complications such as the paper being jammed. There is also a button that can be pressed in order to stop the paper feed to discontinue a job. About fifty sheets can be stored at one time.

If the printer happens to jam, you can easily remove the toner cartridge, which is located behind the main door. The printer was specifically designed to make functions easy to reinstall. Even though the printer is made to be used only with a USB connection, the USB cord must be purchased separately.

Once you are ready to set up the printer, just simply take out the instructions and begin to follow the diagram. There is a handy poster included which comes equipped with systematic illustrations that make it easy and non-stressful to get the printer installed and ready to go. Users with Windows systems will have no problem with this machine but others will because the printer is only designed for Windows.

The maximum resolution the printer is able to deliver is 600 x 600 dpi. This area of resolution rivals other printers within the same prices. With 150 MHz, the machine is able to run relatively fast compared to other products. However, the printer only has 2 Megabyte RAM. This can make it difficult to handle anything other than spreadsheets, grayscale graphics and text. Users should use Dell replacement toners to produce optimal results.

The kit that comes with the printer contains a 1,000 page-yield cartridge. This is considerably lower than the competitions’ 2,000 page-yield cartridges. However, if you would like more ink, you could easily go to the store and purchase a 2000 page-yield cartridge. The Dell 1100 prints pages that cost about 3.3 cents a piece. HP and Canon are a little cheaper per page.

This printer can print on pages between 3′ x 5′ to 8.5′ to 14′ with A4’s being the largest size. If you find that you need to complete big projects in a short amount of time, you may want to reconsider and go with a faster device. This printer can handle around 5,000 pages per month.
