Overview

A home office desk or a small business counter gets a compact black and white laser printer that connects to one computer by USB. A lifetime fuser means the only part to replace is the single toner cartridge.

Dell builds it simple and small, with quick first pages and a high monthly duty cycle. Two-sided printing is manual, there is no network port, and the wireless version is a different model.

Who it's for

Home offices and students printing text documents from one computer get a compact, low-upkeep printer. Anyone wanting automatic two-sided printing or sharing over a network should look at another model.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Output comes from a monochrome laser at the listed resolution, suited to text on plain paper and labels. Pages start within seconds, and manual duplex means flipping the stack for two-sided jobs. The lifetime fuser removes a maintenance part from the routine.
