The Dell 5310n Laser Toner Helps You Go Green

By Ben Pate

If you're going to be using the Dell 5310n, you'll soon find yourself pleasantly surprised. Essentially for use in networks no larger than 10 computers in size, it's a printer marked by endurance and ruggedness, when it's used in a home-based business application. What's really nice is that it can be bought for well under 900 dollars, list, so worries about taking a big hit in the bank account should be relieved. The Dell 5310n laser toner cartridge that comes with the unit is also an added benefit, when you consider its print output capacity. For all-around small network use, this unit makes a sound case for its deployment.

What's the Speed? The Dell 5310n is capable of about 50 pages per minute of print product, which is probably more than enough for almost any circumstance a small network may encounter. Also, it would be unusual to have a need for anything faster than that, given the characteristics of most of the networks which would use a printer like this one. Lastly, it warms up fast (about one minute) and it only takes ten seconds if it's idling, waiting on another job.

Installing Ease. Most IT folks will enjoy how easy the Dell 5310n is to integrate into a network. Using the enclosed CD for guidance, just download applicable drivers and coordinate installation through the network's service, and that's about it. With USB and Ethernet ports standard, it's pretty simple to hook it to most servers or networks.

Compatibility. The 5310n works with Windows-based computers, Macs, or UNIX platforms. It has 128 megabytes of internal memory, making it more than adequate for most any print job. Also, up to 640 megs of external memory can be piled on. It has no problem working well with Vista, XP, 2000, ME and many Mac OS versions, in addition to NT, Linux and Citrix platforms.

Printing Capabilities. The Dell has an advertised capacity of 250,000 pages per month. The included Dell Toner is good for about 10,000 pages before it has to be replaced. In most small businesses, this is extremely generous, which will help to drive down the per-page printing cost over time. A high-capacity 20,000 page toner cartridge can also be used.

How Much Paper? The standard tray holds about 500 sheets. If you need to, you can add additional trays, bringing the total storage capacity to 2,500. This helps to make the 47 pound Dell 5310n easy to deploy, maintain, and use.

Consider This. Dell 5310 laser toner cartridges can be found through Dell or any number of aftermarket vendors. Though 20,000 page units can cost a bit, the 10,000 page cartridges are probably more than enough for most any small network's day to day or week to week needs. Also, the quality of each printed page is very good. - 22787
