A very good choice for a multitasking office, the Dell B1265dnf multifunction printer is able to print, copy, scan, and fax at good speed rates and lower print costs. It offers four machines in one compact unit, while offering other extra features like double-sided printing, network connectivity, and even mobile printing from various mobile devices. However, the Dell B1265dnf printer can only produce black and white outputs and faxes can only be sent via a connected PC.
Design
The 4-in-1 Dell B1265dnf printer measures just about 16x13x15 inches and weighs 24 pounds. It is good for desktop operation, unlike other multifunction laser printers that are too bulky for a desktop setting. It has an automatic duplexer and comes with standard USB and Ethernet interfaces. The Dell B1265dnf printer has a 250-sheet input capacity and its paper feed accepts plain, thin and thick paper, as well as cardstocks, recycled paper, transparencies, labels, and even envelopes. The multipurpose tray can handle media up to A4 in size.
Advantages
Speed is a highlight for the Dell B1265dnf multifunction laser printer, averaging 29 ppm using normal print modes. The 4-in-1 Dell B1265dnf laser printer produces resolutions up to 1200 dpi, while scans can be enhanced up to 4800x4800 dpi. Mobile printing is also a unique feature that is uncommon among mono laser printers.
Disadvantages
However, the Dell B-1265dnf mono laser printer falls behind the competition because of its lack of colour printing abilities and other performance enhancing features like automatic document feeder and memory card readers. Although the Dell B1265dnf printer uses a high capacity toner, the yield of this cartridge is only 2,500 pages resulting in a cost-per-print that is still rather expensive.
