DELL 2230D laser printer monochrome 1200 x 1200 dpi automatic duplex 35 ppm 251 sheets 160 MB

What this printer is and who it serves

The Dell 2230D is a monochrome laser printer built for desktop use. It prints at 35 pages per minute with a 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution and includes automatic duplex printing. A 400 MHz processor and 160 MB of memory handle print jobs. The standard paper capacity is 251 sheets, expandable to 501 sheets, and the monthly duty cycle reaches 35000 pages. It suits offices that need fast, double-sided black-and-white output on plain paper.

What to verify before ordering

Confirm that your workstation has a USB port for the connection. The printer requires a 110 V AC power supply. Ensure the desktop footprint fits the unit and that you can load A4, Letter, Legal, A5, B5, Executive, Folio, Statement, Universal, Custom Size, Envelope No. 10, B5 Envelope, C5 Envelope or DL Envelope media. The standard 251-sheet input tray and 251-sheet output tray are included; the optional tray adds capacity up to 501 sheets.

Behaviour under sustained load

The 35000-page monthly duty cycle indicates the engine is rated for continuous high-volume printing. The fixed 160 MB memory and 400 MHz processor manage the print queue without memory expansion. Automatic duplex printing runs at rated speed for double-sided jobs. The 251-sheet standard output capacity means frequent retrieval during long runs unless the optional second tray is fitted to reach the 501-sheet maximum input.
