As always very fast and reliable delivery from Amazon. Everything properly and securely packed. All backup tapes available and laser printers thus arrived properly. Should accept the package because of the size and weight but a strong person, preferably without hernia and lumbar disc herniation. Unlike my previous HP inkjets comes with the Dell 2150cdn to a real colossus over 20kg !!
Despite various plastic covers the device makes a very high-quality impression. My plan to get the color laser within a few minutes on the network via a LAN connection to work, unfortunately, was not fulfilled. The device has many features and capabilities, especially in the field of installation had to read to set up several times more alternative ways to Configurati that I still had to actually see in the PDF manual and the corresponding passages to create a suitable for me configuration.
If these initial hurdles first taken, so the color laser printer offers an incredibly easy to use, apart from the tiny printer display what I'm going anyway but never use. Either you configured the device with the Toolbox software or - like me - by the built-in web interface via browser. There, all the settings of the dye laser can easily configure.
I am thrilled by the power-saving modes. Adjustable standby time (in my case 3 minutes) with approximately 10.5 Watt consumption. Adjustable "deep sleep" time (in my case 10 minutes) at approximately 6.5 watts and adjustable PowerSave time 1 - 3 hours, after which the printer switches off automatically (automatic and mechanical switching off the power switch) at 0 Watts consumption !! Simply brilliant solved by Dell!
Perform all the functions of the Dell 2150cdn here would of course go beyond the scope. Some me be incurred specifics I want but still emphasize: the colors are after calibration (compared to my previous inkjet) surprisingly very good and natural. I just also therefore opted for a Dell because other manufacturers (believed various reviews) but can noticeable color shifts occur. Not so with the Dell 2150cdn !! And the printing speed can be proud of! Also no ink printer-smearing of colors after printing (and touch)! Status indicator of the level of the 4 toner cartridges also very good.
Super is also the possibility of duplex printing to save paper by printing 2 A4 pages on 1 sheet. Very handy: You can also buy several pages (reduced) per sheet to print, for example, 2,4,8 or 16 pages per A4 page. In connection with the possibility of duplex printing can be so convenient for example, 32 pages Print as an overview on a DIN A4 sheet.
Summary:
+ High-quality color and black-and-white printouts (sharp) / natural color reproduction
+ Many connectivity options (USB, LAN, wireless optional)
+ Print speed (as opposed to ink jet printers)
+ Many useful power saving features
+ Possibility of duplex printing
+ Sophisticated operating concept (Software Toolbox, web interface via browser, etc.)
But O high weight of about 20kg plays no role, because Printer is usually placed firmly ...
- Initial configuration or device due to the many opportunities not completely intuitive to grasp. Manual only as a PDF. Not always consistent and logical. Quick Start Guide is not suitable for all Ersteinrichtungs opportunities. Administrative PC experiences associated with installation, especially in LAN and optional wireless configuration recommended.
I am by the Dell 2150cdn anyway completely thrilled! My expectations and requirements were exceeded. Therefore, I would often think "too dry" inkjet already have to dispose ...
