Brother DCP-8080 Toner Based Printer - Cost Effective Monochrome Laser All-in-One Device

Brother DCP-8080 Laser Printer

Overview

The Brother DCP-8080 functions as both a digital copier and a monochrome digital printer. Perfect for home offices or small business with large paper needs, as well as busier work groups in need of advanced networking capabilities, the DCP-8080 brings a high level of quality and versatility to the modern business setting. The large paper capacity and multiple copy, print, and scan options mean that you can get your work done in-house without worrying about your bottom line.

Features and Functionality

Boasting copy and print speeds of up to 32 pages per minute, the Brother DCP-8080 places speed and efficacy at the top of the list. Pages are output in crisp, clear monochrome ink, with a wide gray scale range for graphics and images. A solid 1200 x 1200 dpi rounds out the abilities of the printer, putting a professional polish on everything you print.

Multiple-page documents are easy to scan and copy thanks to the 50-page automatic document feeder, which allows you to input your pages and walk away to let the machine do the rest of the work. Single copies and scans can be placed on the glass top flatbed feature, which comes standard at legal-size. Although prints and copies are black and white only, the scan feature is offered in 48-bit color, and can be sent as PDF or JPEG files.

When making copies on the Brother DCP-8080, you can make adjustments on the LCD screen to reduce (down to 25 percent size) or enlarge (up to 400 percent size) your documents. Additional options include copy sorting and creating up to 99 copies at a time.

The 250-sheet paper tray makes it easy to keep the Brother DCP-8080 stocked and ready to run. Although the tray is adjustable only for legal and letter paper, other types of media (including envelopes, transparencies, card stock, recycled paper, and letterhead) can be placed in the fully adjustable 50-sheet multipurpose tray.

The DCP-8080 can connect to individual computers by the USB port, which offers instant connections. Larger offices and work groups can connect to an external Ethernet device to make it easier to share the machine. The standard 64MB of memory makes it possible for large, complex jobs and multiple users to make use of the printer, and compatibility with both Mac and Windows operating systems means that different types of users can all tap in.

The Brother DCP-8080 toner comes in two cartridge sizes: the 8,000-page yield (the TN650) and 3,000-page yield (the TN620). Both types of DCP-8080 toner are offered in standard Black only, and can be replaced via the flip-down panel. Your printer will alert you when quantities get low, providing you with enough time to order your replacement parts.

Why Choose the Brother DCP-8080 Printer/Copier?

Like most Brother printers, the DCP-8080 is an Energy Star qualified, cost-effective machine. High-yield DCP-8080 cartridge options and a low cost-per-page print price means that you don't have to worry about the operating costs of this machine. If you're busy home office or small work group needs a printer and a copier that won't let you down, the Brother DCP-8080 could be the perfect fit.

Brother DCP-7040 Toner Based Printer - Reliable Monochrome Laser All-In-One Device

Brother DCP-7040 Laser Printer

Overview

The Brother DCP-7040 is a good choice for the home, home office, or even small business office. It allows for stand-alone copying, either from the flatbed glass or the 35-page auto document feeder. Because it doesn't have to be connected to a computer at all times, you can still run off monochrome copies whenever you happen to need them. That's great not just for business situations, but also for countless tasks around the house: copying a recipe for a neighbor, an article to mail off to a friend, or a craft project for the kids, for example.

Features and Functionality

The Brother DCP-7040 has a very quick print speed for a home machine, with both print jobs and copies coming in as fast as 23 pages per minute. The quality of these documents is high, too, thanks to the clear output of the laser technology. You can expect resolutions of up to 2400 x 600 dpi. The machine comes with 16MB memory standard and is compatible with both Windows and Mac.

In addition to black-and-white printing, the Brother DCP-7040 is an excellent tool for photocopying. Individual pages can be placed directly onto the letter-sized flatbed glass, or they can be loaded into the 35-page auto document feeder. Reductions go as low as 25 percent and as high as 400 percent, allowing you to make adjustments to patterns, hard-to-read text, etc.

Scanning can be done in either color or black-and-white. Optical scan resolution is about 600 x 2400 dpi. Images can be exported to TIFF, BMP, MAX, JPG, PDF, or PNG, and the machine's "scan to" feature allows you to choose email, image, OCR, or file.

The DCP-7040 comes with a standard toner cartridge that yields approximately 1,000 printed pages. This can be replaced with either the TN330 toner cartridge that yields about 1,500 pages or the TN360 toner cartridge that yields approximately 2,600 pages. While the TN360 does cost more initially, it has the ability to lower your overall cost per page. All DCP-7040 cartridges come in Brother and Brother-compatible options, allowing you even more versatility in your purchase.

Why Choose the Brother DCP-7040?

The Brother DCP-7040 full-service office machine is one that should be considered for the home, home office, or even the small office. It is great for those who want to make copies without having a computer plugged into the printer at all times. In addition, it produces nice-quality color scans that can easily be exported to numerous common formats for use and sharing.

Okidata C7350N Toner Based Printer - High Speed, High Volume, and Superior Monochrome Text Printing

Okidata C7350N Color Laser Printer

Overview

The Okidata C7350n is ideal for corporate situations where the emphasis is on printing plain black text. Make no mistake though, because when called upon, the Okidata C7350n cartridges can respond with vivid color. However, the principal strength of this printer is in its ability to handle printing massive amounts of text. High speed and high quality are both characteristics of the Oki C7350n color laser printer.

Features and Functionality

This is a printer that does a very good job of selling itself to those buying it from a corporate position. That is because of several practicalities it presents which other printers may lack. First of all, for a full strength corporate scale color laser printer, it is nice and small. It's 24.4 inches by 16.9" and weighs only 104 lbs. This is much smaller than many of its nearby competitors. Perhaps even more appealing to the IT buying member at your corporation is the fact that it costs much less than those previously mentioned competitors.

The speed at which this printer handles black text jobs is incredible. Most people know that printers, in reality, print slower than the posted PPM that their manufacturers state for them. However, independent testing has shown that the Okidata C7350 cartridges can print at faster than 20 pages per minute. This is incredibly fast and, for the money, makes this a true workhorse printer for a larger office.

The Okidata C7350n cartridges have a lot more to say for themselves than just printing fast text though. Those pages of text have crisp lines that are easy to read, with no evident fuzziness at even the narrowest points of type. The Okidata C7350n cartridges also perform well in a color situation. They have very natural colors and deep blacks and blues, which make for very vivid image printing.

Like many other printers in its class, there are configuration options available so that you can customize this printer to fit your exact needs in your work environment. Perhaps among the most useful of these is the expandable paper tray. By expanding the paper capacity to a very large 1690 pages, you can be sure that your paper will stay stocked for some time. Another expansion involves boosting the internal RAM in the printer from 192MB to 1GB, a considerable amount for a printer.

Conclusion

This printer is for the practical business person. With a small footprint, affordable price, and very fast printing speeds, it practically seems designed to boost productivity and office efficiency through almost every element of its design. For any office that needs to add a high capacity printer, the Okidata C7350n would be a choice that is hard to argue with.

Overview

Combining 4-In-1 functionality with great performance, the Dell 1815dn AIO laser printer is a great choice for home office users and small office environments. Fast print speeds, large paper capacity, and print, copy, scan, and faxing capability make this Dell an attractive device. Anyone who doesn't require color outputs, but is in need of a multifunction laser will be happy with the Dell 1815dn.

Features and Functionality

Speed:

Dell laser printers are known for having fast print speeds and the 1815dn lives up to this reputation. This model can output monochrome laser prints and copies at 27 pages per minute. This type of print speed is more than enough to handle the daily workload in most offices. Documents, presentations, and other print jobs will be available for review in no time when printing with the Dell 1815dn laser printer.

Paper Capacity:

The 1815dn comes standard "out of the box" with a 250 sheet paper tray and a 50 sheet all purpose tray that is part of the ADF or automatic document feeder. Most offices will find this to be enough media capacity for their normal operation. Offices that require more, can add an additional 250 sheet paper tray boosting the paper capacity to 550 pages.

Size:

Multifunction printers typically are larger in size than stand alone printers. The Dell 1815dn laser printer is fairly compact in size considering that it offers full 4-in-1 functionality. This model measures 17.7" wide x 17.2" deep x 18" high and weighs just over 38 pounds. (standard configuration only - no additional paper tray) The 1815dn isn't meant to be moved around on a daily basis, but if the need arises one or two people should be able to do so fairly easily.

Printer Capacity:

The 1815dn ships with 96 MB of memory and can be upgraded to 196 MB if required. Designed to handle the demands of smaller offices, the 1815dn is rated at 25,000 pages of printing per month. (Duty Cycle)

Output Quality:

The Dell 1815dn output quality is slightly above average. This model has a maximum print resolution of 600 x 600 dpi. Copy resolution is the same. The optical scanning resolution is 600 x 1200 dpi. When tested, the monochrome text was legible down to a size 2.5 font. This is better than some of the more expensive black and white laser devices in the same class. Images and text were impressive, clear, and crisp.

Setup:

Physical setup requires the connection of power cable and USB cable. Once connected, users should find it easy to navigate the LCD menu screen that facilitates a new setup. Network setup requires additional hardware, but is easily setup using the LCD screen as well.

Consumables:

The Dell 1815dn toner cartridge is available in a 3,000 page yield standard capacity version (310-7943) as well as a 5,000 page yield high capacity version (310-7945). Use of the high yield 1815dn toner cartridge will lower the printing cost by offering a lower price per print in comparison to the 1815dn standard capacity toner cartridge.

Conclusion

The Dell 1815dn multifunction device is a great machine. Users who don't require color prints and could benefit from a speedy 4-in-1 device are encouraged to check out the 1815dn monochrome laser.
