Pros

 

The Dell 3115cn printer can print black and white prints at 31 pages a minute and also has a resolution of 600 x 600 DPI.

 

This printer allows for multiple prints and scans. This is due to the 50 page document feeder that comes with it. This will increase your output and you will not have to keep feeding the paper feeder over and over.

 

You will also have the option to upgrade to the auto-duplexing feature that allows for prints and scans on both sides of the page. This will reduce costs for printing booklets and other printing materials. Not only does this reduce your out of pocket expenses but it will also help the environment. It does this because it reduces printing space.

 

The Dell 3115cn printer also comes with a high quality color scanner that can either save to your computer or scan to it.

 

It also comes with bundled software and powerful tools that allows for archived and scanned office documents.

For an even bigger scanning and printing job, you can increase the memory from 128 MB to 1152 MB. This is good for larger scanning jobs such as brochures, catalogs and other marketing materials.

 

Cons

 

This printer is not easy to set-up. You will need technical knowledge as well as TCI/IP knowledge. Because the manual is not clear on many things, it will not be much help.

 

Commands have to be entered in as plain text and the LCD display is hard to read.

 

If you are in need of having an office set-up fast and efficient, the Dell 3115cn printer may not be right for you. This is because the auto-duplexing feature is only an optional upgrade and does not come with the printer.

 

It has a clunky design and the paper feeder jams up often. It runs hot sometimes and the paper feeder might jam up a lot. Because of this, you will waste 10% of paper. The print and scan quality comes out poor.

 

Because of the automatic paper feeder jamming up, you won’t be saving the time and money you should with the auto-duplexing feature.
