The Dell 1110 printer is an entry-level laser machine introduced at around $100. It is about the size of large toaster, which makes it perfect for small houses or apartments. In order to use it, you have to unfold its paper tray. This printer is susceptible to dust because it has no cover. If you fold the paper tray back, you would need to store the paper somewhere else.

There are only two LEDs in the Dell 1110 printer. One is for the power and the other is for any problems, like paper jams or cartridge errors. It also has one button that you can use to cancels the current printing job. The machine can only be connected through USB, which is problem for some because they have used all the available ports.

The machine can print 17 text pages per minute, which is about the same speed compared to other printers. However, the printer does not have an automatic duplex feature. As for grayscale document with text and graphics, it can handle 5 pages per minute. This laser printer also has a maximum printing resolution of 600 dpi.

Its monthly duty cycle is higher than other devices in the same price range. It can print on a 8.5″ x 14 paper and it also takes different sizes of envelopes. It also has a paper tray that can hold 150 sheets.

The printer is bundled with a 1,000 page yield toner cartridge. However, if the package does not include the USB cable, you would need to buy it separately for around $35. The machine does not have any networking capability, since it has no Ethernet port.

The 150 MHz processor and the 2MB RAM are two of the things that make this printer slow. Unfortunately, the RAM cannot be upgraded. This might be a problem for people who wants to use this device for printing graphics.

The bundled software includes the Dell Toner Management system. This is an application that checks and notifies you if toner is about to run out. There is also software available that lets you monitor the status of your print queue.

The bundled software supports Microsoft Widows ME, 2000, XP, and Vista. For Windows 7 users, you have to download the software from Dell’s website. Like other Dell printers, it does not support Linux and Mac operating systems. The company did not develop any software to run on these operating systems.

In summary, the Dell 1110 printer using the Dell Laser 1110 toner cartridges is good buy for a person that does not print a lot. The printing cost is a bit on the expensive side. A 2000 page yield toner would cost around $68, which makes an average of 3.3 cents per page. You can find and compare the price of cartridges conveniently online. However, it is still cheaper than most inkjet printers are. This device is perfect for individual or home use, but if you want to use this as an office printer, you might as well spend a couple of dollars more.
