Strengths: Small footprint, Clear Printouts, Price, Ample Paper trays, Relativly quiet.
Weaknesses: There are no "Compatible" toners available for this, your option is to purchase the Dell toner from DELL, if you run out good luck running to Office Depot & getting it, or trying to get it cheaper.
Overall Evaluation: Overall this is a great printer, It's quiet enough to be able to sit next to and still talk on the phone fine. It's compact and holds more paper (standard) than most of the other printers. The web configerator is good as then you don't have to go through the control panel on the device. One drawback that I found is DON'T LOSE THE DISK! Well, that is if you hook it up via the built in 10/100 network connection. The software that's available on Dell's website will only install it locally, not via the network card. As stupid as this seems, it's very easy to do. They were good about sending me a new disk for free (when it was still under warranty) because my hard drive crashed on my laptop and poof, can't print through my network. It would also be nice to have the ability to go and purchase the toner elsewhere. Can we say price fixing? And the fact if you run out during a project you have to wait for the UPS guy a few days later before you can use your printer again.
