Dell 1133 Printer Review
Expert review of the Dell 1133 printer
Our Verdict:
Budget-conscious users who can do without colour printing capabilities will appreciate the Dell 1133 multifunction laser printer. The Dell 1133 A4 mono multifunction printer is fast and well-built, and more importantly, delivers superior output quality. However, the 1133's lack of networking options may be an issue for small offices that need a shared device.
Design
The Dell 1133 mono laser printer is a sleek and stylish all-in-one that weighs 10.6kg. Its box-type frame consists of a flatbed CIS scanner and a copier on top, input and output trays at the bottom front, and a minimalist but intuitive control panel with a 2-line LCD display, one-touch buttons, and a D-pad. Plug-and-play convenience is provided by the USB 2.0 connection at the back of the Dell 1133. Dell integrated a default 600x600dpi resolution for the printer, which can be increased to 1200x1200dpi, and a CIS 16-bit colour scanner.
Advantages
The Dell 1133 multifunction printer is affordable in the long-run, fast, and offers good quality output for documents. Up to 22 pages of A4-sized documents can be produced per minute. Media handling is versatile with the 250-sheet standard tray and the multi-purpose tray of the all-in-one Dell 1133 printer, so users can print on cotton, cardstock, transparencies, and recycled paper, too. Both the scanner and the copier of the Dell 1133 perform fairly well.
Disadvantages
The Dell 1133 laser printer lacks essential functions such as an automatic document feeder and an auto-duplexer, which could make it more efficient for users. The absence of network-ready ports makes it limited to a single user only. Size is another issue with the Dell 1133 printer because at 70.10 inches tall, 103.89 inches deep, and 105.66 inches wide, it is deemed too bulky for a desktop.
