Also included is a power cord, phone cord for fax, a large setup poster, a four-page guide, and a CD containing the print and scan drivers for Windows and Mac OS X, and PaperPort 14 from Nuance. The MFP comes preloaded with the four color toner cartridges. There are not a lot of extras included in the packaging – BYO USB cable. Scans and faxes can be accomplished using the glass platen under the flip-up top, or the 15-page ADF built into the cover. The printed output exits via a slot directly under the control panel. Photo paper is not supported, nor is paper designed specifically for inkjet use (read on to find out more about paper). The C1765nf has room at the bottom of the unit to insert up to 150 sheets of letter or legal size paper, and directly above that is a second fixed tray, which Dell calls an “Inserter,” to feed specialty media such as heavier stock, letterhead, envelopes, or sheets of labels. Also on the control panel is a keypad for entering fax numbers or number of copies, a Color Mode button to select color or black and white printing, and a Start button to start copying or dialing a fax. Next to it, between the one-touch buttons and the display, are another four buttons in a vertical stack that select the function you want to use – Copy, Fax, and Scan, with the bottom button bringing up the menu on the display.
The leftmost four-button vertical stack is for using one-touch dialing when faxing. To the left of the LCD there are two sets of buttons – typical for a business-centric MFP. This panel contains a small monochrome LCD that presents toner levels, and using a four-direction set of arrows next to the display lets you scroll through various menus and submenus to set functions such as copy options. The controls are located on a panel that sticks out near the top of the front side. It comes with the starter toner cartridges preinstalled, but changing them is as simple as opening the right side panel, pulling the used cartridge out, and inserting a new one. Weighing a bit over 31 pounds, you’ll probably want to place the C1765nf somewhere other than your desktop and plan on not moving it around much.
#PINGING THE DELL C1765 PDF#
Both models come with Nuance’s PaperPort 14, an entry-level document management utility which provides PDF reader functionality.Īt 16.1 x 14.9 inches, the C1765nf is a bit larger than some of the inkjet all-in-ones (AIO) we’ve tested – it’s the 13.3-inch height that makes it seem much larger and bulkier. The C1765 comes in two models: the C1765nf, the model we tested, provides USB and 100BASE-T Ethernet connectivity, while the C1765nfw adds Wi-Fi connectivity and about $30 to the price tag. It looks pretty much like most office MFPs, though its black case and square lines do make it an attractive addition to a small or home office.įor a reasonably priced MFP, the Dell 1765nf provides a lot of value. Some of the inkjet MFPs we’ve reviewed recently have adopted a sleek, almost high-end audio appliance appearance. There’s no real noticeable difference in the output between a laser printer and an LED printer, but the LED printer is mechanically simpler. But instead of a laser beam directed to a specific spot by a rotating mirror, an LED printer uses a fixed array of LEDs that span the entire width of the print area, which is 8.5 inches in a letter or legal size printer. An LED printer is almost identical to a laser printer in function: It uses light to scan a photoconductor onto which toner is transferred to before being deposited onto a piece of paper. LED printers aren’t new – OKI has been making them for a while.
You won’t find the word “laser” in anything describing the C1765nr because it isn’t one, nor is it an inkjet. Take one look at the unassuming black box design, and you might say, “It’s a laser printer, big deal.” That’s where you’d be wrong. You probably know Dell for its laptops, desktops, and servers, but the company has also been selling printers for years, like the C1765nf Color Multifunction Printer (MFP).
