For around $600, you can get the multifunctional Dell Laser 1600n printer. This machine can scan, copy, fax, and print. It is like having a small office in your own home. It is even small enough to fit be placed on a desk. The Dell Laser 1600n toner will offer the professional results sought by all.

The machine is able to connect to the network using the built-in Ethernet port. Printing speed is 22 pages per minute for monochrome, which is slightly faster compared to other laser printers. It also features a 50-sheet automatic document feeder that makes scanning and copying very convenient.

The Dell 1600n is able to provide superior scanning and printing quality. However, the color-scanning feature seems to be missing when it used over a network. As for its faxing capability, well it's a bit strange. For the most part, if you want to send a fax using the PC, you need to use Windows fax application. Dell's software doesn't have that feature. In addition, the fax application from Windows will not able to read any information you have saved on the device's control panel.

This laser printer can scan 6 grayscale documents per minute and 3 pages for the colored ones. Copying is also around 6 pages per minute. The speed of its scanning and copying are among the fastest in its class.

A 250-sheet paper tray is included in the package, however, you can also buy another tray, which you add on top of it making it a total of 500 sheets. The built-in memory is 32 MB, good enough for personal use, but will not be sufficient for an office. You can always buy additional memory for as low as $30.

A 3,000-page yield toner cartridge is included in the package. Getting a new one can be around $70, which makes printing costs 2.3 cents per page. However, a 5,000-page yield toner cartridge is also available for approximately $80, which makes printing cost 1.6 cents per page. That is pretty good compared to other laser printers.

Installing additional memory is very easy since all you have to do is open the door on the left side. This design avoids any unnecessary disassembly and exposure. However, the automatic document feeder's design needs to be revised, since it's too short to keep the lid fully opened. You will have to improvise some kind of support if you are scanning a large document.

When this multifunction machine is connected to an Ethernet network, an embedded web server let's you remotely observe the printer's status. If you planning to connect it through USB, you would need to buy the cable, since it is not included in the package. The drivers and utilities CD can be easily installed on the computer. However, this device only supports Windows 95 or higher. Mac and Linux operating systems will not be able to use this device, since there are no drivers available.

The Dell 1600n printer has lifetime 24/7 technical support. It also has a standard one-year warranty, which can be extended for another 2 years for around $118. The warranty also covers shipping and replacement.

The Dell Laser 1600n laser toner offers the professionalism those familiar with Dell Laser toner have come to expect. Online remanufactured toner retailers can offer surprising prices when it comes time for replacement.
