The included 96mb of memory is more than enough for all of the included features. The Additional drawer was the only accessory I needed to purchase. The front feed accepts paper as well as envelopes. I have also installed the second paper tray to add another paper type and higher paper capacity.
The Dell 1815 prints to all types of paper sizes and envelopes. USB input on the front of the machine was a total surprise! Print directly from a text file on your USB thumb drive, or scan directly to the thumb drive if you like. No need to have a printed copy to pass through the printer to fax documents to fax numbers or e-mail recipients. Using MS Word, choose print to Fax and create cover sheet, input a phone number and hit send. Dell Techs can be helpful and necessary for the initial set-up of this feature rich machine.įaxing is easy directly from your desktop programs. Unfortunately, the instruction book doesn’t explain all of the necessary settings clearly. You can send scans directly from the printer to others via their email address. Scan through the network to e-mail or other programs on your computer. Just make sure that you inpu t your printers IP address into the front panel on the printer to save the printers IP address when you turn the printer off and on. Yes, I did need to call Dell support for guidance in set-up so that all network functionality was available. Dell support is responsive, and informative. The networking was relatively easy to set-up using a Linksys wireless hub, even my laptop can print wirelessly to the Dell printer. The Dell 1815DN surpassed all expectation. You will not need to purchase any other items to get all advertised functionality.

Most considerations were given to DUPLEX PRINTING (printing on both sides of a printed page automatically), NETWORK CONNECTIVITY, and TONER COSTS plus the other features that are available out-of-the-box with no other hardware required. I did extensive research on the capabilities of all available laser printers. I purchased this printer brand new on Ebay.
