The Dell All In One V505 is a reliable all-in-one device designed for a small office that are looking for a space-saving and low-cost solution to produce high quality photos and text documents. It delivers excellent graphics and versatility with a good selection of direct printing options, but it is difficult to install and operate.

Media handling is through a 100-sheet media tray, 50-sheet document feeder, and a 50-sheet output bin.
