25 page per minute monochrome laser print speed combined with full technical support from Dell and an above average maximum print resolution make the Dell Laser Printer 1700n a device worth noticing. With a wide range of powerful specifications across the board, the 1700n is an all around work horse that can produce low or high paper output with equal simplicity.
Thanks to 32 MBs of standard random access memory, the Dell Laser Printer 1700n doesn't hesitate even under the stress of the most complex single print jobs. Yet, for optimized performance on a highly demanding network, memory is upgradable to a maximum of 160 total MBs. A 200 MHz processor also helps things running smoothly and efficiently under a heavy work load.
With an outstandingly high print resolution of 1200 x 1200 dots per inch the Dell Laser Printer 1700n can output not only crystal clear black and white text, but also detailed graphics and charts, and even monochrome images.
Standard paper handling comes in the form of a 250 sheet covered paper input drawer and a single pass multi purpose slot. An additional 300 sheet drawer is optional for separate purchase, and brings the total potential storage capacity to a huge 550 sheets that should keep paper refills, along with down time, at a minimum. The multi purpose slot is adjustable not just for paper thicknesses that aren't compatible with the standard tray, such as transparencies, but also for odd widths as seen in media such as envelopes and business cards.
The Dell Laser Printer 1700n is designed to last, and boasts a maximum monthly duty cycle of 15,000 total pages, allowing it to withstand frequent, all day usage. Dell also includes a 12 month limited hardware warranty, and also a year of next business day advanced exchange service, along with twenty four hour technical support for one year, and unlimited Dell online support for up to date drivers and technical information.
A small footprint and manageable weight make the Dell Laser Printer 1700n appropriate not only for a small office, but for a home business as well. Weighing in at a reasonable 27 lbs with dimensions of 15.5" x 13.9" x 9.8" (W x D x H) it could even be considered a desktop printer, but just barely. Unfortunately, due to Dell's intention to provide all inclusive computer systems to their customers, the 1700n is not Macintosh compatible, but will run on almost any Windows system, whether built by Dell themselves or not.
The software package included with the Dell Laser Printer 1700n offers comprehensive tools unlike many of its competitors. A Dell Toner Management System provides intelligent toner monitoring and proactively notifies users before toner runs out. The Dell Printer Web Tool is a program that helps users easily install, configure, and manage a network of users, and has automatic e mail notifications that let a network administrator know whenever there is a paper handling alert. This software resides within the unit itself as firmware, securing the Dell Laser Printer 1700n's status as a user friendly, unobtrusive tool for a large range of work demands.
