It offers reliable duty capacity, and good enough input capacity. However, the Dell B1160W printer can only produce black and white documents and it does not support duplex printing.
Design
The Dell B1160W wireless mono laser printer is an excellent space-saver, measuring only 13x8x7 inches.

Advantages
Wireless printing is the main selling point of the Dell B1160W laser printer. Additionally, it offers respectable print speeds up to 20 ppm using A4 paper and 21 ppm for letter size documents. The Dell B1160W mono laser printer does not have an expandable RAM, but its built-in memory is large enough for low-volume print tasks, at 32 MB. Printer maintenance is simplified by the printer being restricted to the use of a single Dell B1160W black toner cartridge although this does limit printing flexibility somewhat for the user.
Disadvantages
