The Epson Workforce AL-C500DTN printer is a cost-effective choice for a small office that requires more creative output. The Workforce AL-C500DTN laser printer is more versatile with colour printing and the capability to hold 1,250 sheets of plain paper without compromising support for speciality media, but it is very expensive, heavy, and noisy.
Design
Measuring 560mm wide, 562.6mm tall, and 516mm deep, the Epson Workforce AL-C500DTN is not exactly the most compact printer, but it manages to fit on a typical office desktop. The Epson AL-C500DTN colour laser printer looks like a plain cube with a plastic frame. Type B interface, gigabit Ethernet, and USB 2.0 Type B are among the connectivity options. There is a 500-sheet output bin and two input trays. The small control panel features a backlit monochrome display screen.
Advantages
The Workforce ALC500DTN is made with Epson's innovative printing and resolution improvement technologies for crisper business correspondence and eye-catching colourful printouts. The print speeds of the Epson Workforce ALC500DTN can reach up to 45ppm in both monochrome and colour. High-capacity cartridges offer better value for the money. The Epson Workforce AL C500DTN colour printer can handle a maximum of 2,900 sheets, while the memory is expandable to 1GB. Users may print directly from a compact flash card and integrate the printer into a network via gigabit Ethernet. Duplex printing is supported.
Disadvantages
The Epson AL-C500DTN printer is quite noisy, emitting up to 59dBA of sound while operating. It is also heavy and difficult to lift, requiring a sturdy surface for installation. The Epson Workforce AL-C500DTN could be better if it had cheaper consumables and a larger display screen.
