Buyers Laboratory Inc., 20 Railroad Avenue, Hackensack, NJ 07601, USA.A Comprehensive BLI Laboratory Evaluation FEBRUARY 2009Geared toward small workgroups, the Dell 2335dn Multifunction La-ser Printer proved to be a very good overall performer during its labevaluation. The A4 laser desktop device, which has a rated speed of33 ppm and offers network print and scan, copy and PC and walk-up fax functionality all as standard, demonstrated flawless reliabilitythroughout its 17,500-impression durability test. Easy to set up anduse, the 2335dn Multifunction Laser Printer is also productive, asevidenced by its above average job stream productivity using thePCL driver, as well as the fastest first-print times for several files,compared to competitors.
