WorkForce AL-M400DTN Printer Review
Expert review of the WorkForce AL-M400DTN printer
The Epson WorkForce AL-M400DTN is an exceptionally hard working monochrome printer with a compact footprint that will work well in a small to medium sized workplace. With its large paper capacity and high yield toners, printer down time is kept to a minimum, thus increasing office efficiency. The use of the Epson iPrint app facilitates printing from multiple devices, which is a benefit to modern workplaces. However, this printer is limited to monochrome printing only. If colour printing, faxing, copying and scanning is required, this printer will need to be used alongside additional devices.
Design
The grey design of the Epson WorkForce M400DTN and the compact dimensions of 540mm x 534mm x 470mm allow this printer to be easily located. Print speeds are 45 ppm, the resolution is 1200 dpi and the monthly duty cycle is an impressive 200,000 pages. The printer is navigated from a control panel on the top of the device with buttons and a display screen. Paper is stored in the two 550 sheet paper trays and the 150 sheet multi-purpose tray. Additional paper trays can be purchased to increase the capacity. Connection is achieved via a USB, parallel or network interface or wirelessly from the Epson iPrint app.
Advantages
The large paper capacity, high yield toners and reliable nature of the Epson AL-M400DTN reduces printer downtime, allowing businesses to concentrate on their work. Rapid printing speeds and quick warm up time increases efficiency. Duplex printing comes as standard. The Epson iPrint app allows printing from anywhere in the office from multiple devices.
Disadvantages
As the Epson WorkForce AL-M400DTN is a monochrome printer only, its function is limited to black and white documents. There is no facility to scan, copy or fax. If these facilities are needed, it will be necessary to purchase additional devices, requiring more expense and office space.
