The Dell S2500 laser printer is a good option for the networked work group. It prints clear, sharp documents at good 600dpi qualities and on most media paper stock. The included Dell s2500 Toner Cartridge will print up to 5000 pages, and is supported by Dell’s standard toner management system, which keeps an eye out for low toner levels and notifies its users of the problem. At prices well under 400 dollars, there isn’t much bad that can be said about this unit.
Will it Print Quickly? At 22ppm print speed, the Dell S2500 delivers output which is sufficient for most home office applications. Additionally, because of its very short warm up time on most print jobs, you’ll find added utility and ease of use every time you put it into action.
Ease of Installation. The Dell S2500, like most Dell printers, is pretty simple to install into a network or to just a single computer. With industry standard USB 2.0, Ethernet and parallel printer ports, it’s pretty easy to integrate this laser printer into an existing or new network.
How Much Printing? For what’s basically a home-office printer, the Dell S2500 can put out up to 50,000 printed pages a month before needing maintenance. Also, you can expect to get about 5,000 pages of copy from the Dell toner. An optional cartridge is available that provides about 10,000 pages.
Does it Work with Windows? Most current Windows-based operating systems, including XP and Windows 2000, will seamlessly meld the Dell S2500 into their environments. It can also join up with Novell and NT 4.0 platforms with little difficulty.
Paper Storage Capacities. The unit comes standard with a 250 sheet storage tray, but you can add more optional trays until you reach the maximum of 750 sheets of paper.
Memory. Standard memory on the Dell S2500 comes in at 32 megabytes, with an expansion ability that ranges up to 288 megs. This makes the printer more than acceptable for most any size print job that a small networked workgroup might have. It also processes at 200MHz, which makes it pretty quick.
Considerations. Dell S2500 laser toner cartridges are widely available, and at a good price, which helps to keep cost-per-page concerns to a minimum. The 10,000 page units may make the best sense for groups that do a lot more printing than usual.
Summary. The DellS2500 laser printer is a good-looking printer that’s well-supported by Dell compatible toner’s standard 24/7 warranty. Additionally, that warranty is extendable for another 4 years for a small fee. On-site service is good for the first year at no charge. It also has web-based management software abilities, making it easy for the IT person to quickly integrate the printer into a new or existing workgroup network. It comes with the ability to handle large print jobs and will work well at up to 50,000 pages per month of output production. When everything’s taken into consideration (including that attractive price and the Dell s2500 Toner), there’s not much to dislike about this laser printer.
