The Konica Minolta Magicolor 2300DL is a workgroup printer that can meet the requirements of a home office that does not demand rapid colour printing. This laser colour printer can print up to 16 pages per minute in black and white. For colour printing, this printer can only reach speeds of 4 pages per minute. In both printing colour or black and white, a resolution of up to 2,400 x 600 dpi is possible. A PowerPC 405 200 MHz processor combined with 32 MB of memory make this printer efficient and highly productive.
Design
The 2300DL is a compact printer that manages to stuff all its components into dimensions of 35.61 cm in width, 50.01 cm in depth, and 39.19 cm in height. This printer is not very portable and may require assistance when moving due to its weight of 27.75 kg. A computer connection is made possible through a USB cable, an Ethernet connection, or a parallel connection. Printing on plain paper, labels, and transparencies is also possible without any difficulties. Konica Minolta 2300DL toner is designed to last for up to 4,500 pages in between refills.
Advantages
This printer can be upgraded for better performance by installing an upgrade of memory. Using the memory expansion slot, an upgrade of up to 288 MB can be achieved to give users more internal storage while improving printing speed. A monthly duty cycle of 35,000 impressions is easily accomplished due to the speed of the 2300DL. This printer can also be used as a print server and handle multiple incoming print jobs. Optional duplex printing is also available and will decrease paper consumption by allowing the printing of double-sided documents. Konica Minolta 2300DL toner is also comparatively inexpensive.
Disadvantages
Another minor disadvantage is this printer does not come standard with a scanner, copier, or fax machine. This printer may also be too loud for some users at a sound level of 54 decibels during operation. Furthermore, the Konica Minolta Magicolor 2300DL printer can be a little too costly to buy if you aren't using the printer frequently.
