Dell B1165nfw Monochrome Multifunction Laser Printer

Dell B1165nfw Monochrome Multifunction Laser Printer
The new addition to Dell's growing line of MFP mono laser printer, the Dell B1165nfw B&W multifunction printer. It has a light and modern built suitable as a personal print device for home use, and can also work as a shared printer in any small-size office. Features doesn't seem to exhibit quite a leap, but considering its price, it's actually one of the most affordable MFP you'll ever find in the market.

Functions such as print, copy, scan and fax, all in its compact and portable body. It suits well in any micro-office, given that it can print, fax and scan from a PC as well as over a network. Even without a PC, the B1165nfw can be used as a standalone copier and fax machine, which most office would likely need. Paper handling is a bit flimsy, that's why it's more essential as a personal printer, with a standard input tray capacity of 150 sheets (no optional tray available).

Another reason that defines the B1165nfw as a light-duty device is the lack of duplexing (double-sided printing) feature. Hence if you're used to a printer with automatic duplexer, this one might change things around, whilst it's not a big deal if it sits just beside your desk. One of its pros is a 40-page ADF (automatic-document feeder) that supports letter-size and legal-size documents.

The Dell B1165nfw's print engine has a quoted speed of  21ppm (pages-per-minute) which is fairly nice since it's not intended to use for medium-capacity printing. Options for connectivity include, USB 2.0 port, Ethernet, and WiFi which also supports WiFi Direct. For mobile printing features, these are the apps you might want to consider : Google Cloud Print, Apple AirPrint, and Dell's Android app, any of these enables you to print over a wireless connection. No need to worry about the consumables as it only requires single black/mono laser toner cartridges, however replacing it can be annoying only if you print or copy for more than 30 pages a day.

For offices with medium-duty printing, it's pretty obvious that the Dell B1165nfw Monochrome laser printer is primarily not to be included in your list. While for home or personal printing needs, this machine serves essentially what you need, from print speed, capacity, set of features and output quality. A compact and well-rounded printer preferably for light-duty use at such a low price.
