PRODUCT BENEFITS

HIGH-QUALITY COLOUR AND MONOCHROME OUTPUT

The 3130cn combines outstanding colour printing with high-quality
monochrome printing in a single device. Print quality is further enhanced
by advanced technologies: the printer analyses document content to
correct colour space and image balance automatically, whilst advanced
emulsion aggregation toner not only improves the quality but also
accelerates printing and uses less power during the fusing process.

HIGH PERFORMANCE AND IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY

With its high print speed of up to 25 pages per minute (ppm) in colour
and 30 ppm in monochrome, as well as monthly capacity of up to
70 000 prints, the 3130cn will satisfy the printing needs of any small
or mid-sized workgroup. Network connectivity, offered as a standard
feature, allows multiple users to share the printer easily.

INVESTMENT PROTECTION THROUGH EXPANDABILITY

Delivering robust performance in its standard configuration, the
3130cn can meet expanding printing requirements thanks to a broad
range of upgrade options. The optional 550 sheet drawer, duplexer,
network-protocol adapter and wireless printer adapter offer plenty
of headroom to accommodate business growth.

SIMPLE MANAGEMENT
AND EFFORTLESS MAINTENANCE

Using the familiar browser interface, the Dell Printer Configuration
Web Tool makes managing the 3130cn simple and intuitive. The Dell
ColourTrack 2TM tool gives you total control over who can print in
colour, and when. Dell Toner Management System alerts you of low
toner levels. However, if any of the colour toners runs out the 3130cn
offers a unique capability to continue printing in black-and-white.
Reordering toner is as simple as a few clicks at the dedicated Dell

refurbished.
6 Measurements based on ISO 7779
7 Tested in accordance with ISO 7779 and reported in accordance with ISO 9296, Acoustics.
8 The Typical Energy Consumption value is derived from printer energy consumption specifications combined with typical business printing usage for this model.

The midpoint of the Typical Monthly Print Volume is assumed to be printed at 30 minute intervals across a 10 hour business day (0800-1800), 5 days per week

A mixture of 50% mono: colour print is assumed. The printer enters standby mode when the print job is complete, and enters sleep mode after the default period.

The printer is assumed to remain in sleep mode at all other times including two weekend days. Energy consumption will be further reduced if the printer is powered

down when not in use for long periods. Actual energy consumption will vary according to print volume and usage patterns.
