Dell 1700n
When suffering from overcrowded offices, even the addition of a small gadget such as a printer can make the place less spacious. The Dell 1700n’s footprint is designed to take comparatively less desk space than regular inkjets despite its dimensions and weight being those of average desktop laser printers.
The Dell 1700n offers a network connection which allows other users across a local area network (LAN) to share the printer. Setting the network up doesn’t require professionals doing the work for you as the whole process is automated, another advantage which saves more money. The only problem with Dell 1700n’s network is that it isn’t helpful when serving the printing needs of large workgroups and may require certain upgrades, but this is easily remedied.
Aside from that, installing this printer is easy. Different operating systems can interact easily with the printer. Dell systems work best with this printer because of the latter’s pre-loaded drivers, which enable the printer to be detected upon connecting it to the computer, thus starting the printing process quickly. The printer can also work well with other systems, but Apple isn’t one of them.
As for its printing function, the Dell 1700n can print up to 24 pages of A4 size per minute. The quality of the text and images is quite good for monochrome lasers, a fact possible due to the 1200 dpi resolution. An expandable memory which goes up to 160MB helps in printing complex documents like Acrobat more smoothly, yet such files are printed slower than simple text ones.
The Dell 1700n’s driver menus are helpful when reinserting a sheet for manual duplexing, i.e. printing on both sides of a sheet, a feat which can be confusing most of the time. An account-tracking feature helps in recording the number of people using the printer at the same time. Other options include multiple page printing, booklet and poster layouts and draft mode.
Once you‘re close to 3000 printed pages, your toner will start running out. Two mechanisms will alert you about the low levels of the toner: The Dell Toner Management System and the on-printer LED. Purchasing a new toner is easy with the help of the Dell Toner Management System. Plus, the Dell 1700n comes with the Dell Printer Web Tool which allows the printer’s toner level to be checked over the network. The software also emails specific people regarding the printer’s status and its toner levels.
The Dell 1700n is a cost-effective network-enabled printer that not only is good to look at, but is also a fast, budget-friendly solution for cramped areas.

Xerox WorkCentre XE60
The multifunction printing market is one with plenty of competition. It seems there are new ranges being released all the time. A device has to be truly outsatanding in order to dominate this market. The Xerox WorkCentre XE60 is just such a device.
The XE60 is a color multifunction device that offers color printing, copying and scanning in one chassis. Setting it up is easy, merely a matter of unpacking slotting it together. Connections are made by USB or parallel, which offers flexibility, and is easy to install. The paper tray holds up to 250 sheets, which is enough for a smaller office or home worker. The tray, and single feeder can handle media of all sizes from legal sized all the way to A3. It can handle smaller media too like labels, postcards and envelopes without getting jammed.
Toner is easy to insert and remove and is good value for money. The black toner is good for 3000 pages of an average 5% coverage and costs around $50.
Printing and copying is the real strength of the XE60. Image quality is excellent and monochrome text is especially crisp at standard resolution of 600 dpi. There were rough transitions when reproducing photographs, but the overall quality was acceptable for normal use. The print speed averaged 6 pages per minute which is about average for this class of device.
Scanning is a breeze, as the device is simple and effective, and produced excellent results when tested. The copy was just about identical to the original and came out in no time at all. The lid is adjustable, meaning it can cope with thicker media such as books or magazines without any trouble.
Ideally this is a multifunction for the smaller office or home worker who doesn’t print all that much. There are enough features to satisfy most needs, and the print quality is easily good enough for any office but the relatively low duty cycle of 8000 sheets restricts its appeal slightly. Just as well then that this is marketed squarely at the small/home office market, and it fits in with the intended audience.
Overall this is a great little printer for those it is directed towards, i.e. the small business or home worker. Six pages a minute isn’t a blistering pace, and the lack of Ethernet capability limits its appeal. However, for those who want printer that produces great quality prints on any kind of media, the XE60 is ideal.
