IBM Infoprint 1823 Printer Review
Expert review of the IBM Infoprint 1823 printer
The IBM Infoprint-1823 is a monochrome laser printer able to print up to A4 size. This hardworking printer has a compact footprint, making it ideal for use in a small or home office that requires a high volume of monochrome printing. With a generous paper capacity as standard and toner-saving modes, the printer works efficiently, reducing the downtime needed for refills. As this is a monochrome printer only with no other functions, it is unlikely that this can be the sole office printer, so additional devices may be needed for copying, scanning or colour printing. There is also no wireless printing facility, even as an optional extra, which makes it harder for multiple users to print.
Design
The IBM Infoprint-1823 measures 406 x 369.5 x 347 mm and comes in a white design. Print speeds are 38 ppm, the monthly duty cycle is 80,000 pages and the resolution is 1200 dpi. Paper is stored in two 250-sheet drawers and a 50 sheet multi-purpose feeder. On the front of the device is a control panel for managing the printer operations, which includes an LCD screen. Connection is achieved via an Ethernet interface.
Advantages
The large standard paper capacity of the IBM Infoprint-1823 reduces the downtime needed for paper refills, increasing workplace efficiency. The compact footprint makes this printer easy to place. Duplex printing comes as standard, resulting in considerable paper savings. The toner save mode allows you to adjust the darkness of the print and save toner if required. Print speeds are fast, with the first print out after just 6.5 seconds.
Disadvantages
As a monochrome printer only with no other functions, the IBM Infoprint-1823 is limited in what it can achieve. You may need to purchase additional devices to colour print, fax, copy and scan, which reduces the advantage of the compact size of this model. There is no wireless printing feature available.
