NEW 3110CN

Question

Got the 3110CN this afternoon.  The huge box seemed to be well packaged, taped and secured.  Opened it up and set it up.  It took a whole of 30 minutes to unpack, install cartridges, plug in to home network, install drivers and print my first test page.  WOW!!!!!  I tested the printer with hi res photos, charts & graphs, stationary, etc.  I am impressed.  The hi res photo was outstanding!  I have an Epson Picture Mate Photo printer that is one of the best photo printers you can buy and comparing a family photo was amazing.  I blew the 3110 photo up to 81/2x11 and it printed it with impressive ability.  The only drawback as I see it is envelopes.  I printed 2 using the multipurpose tray and it has a little wrinkling.  That's OK since I use a monocrome HP laser to print envelopes anyway.  The printer is very quiet.  After it initializes it prints hi res photos with impressive speed.  My earlier HP Color Laser 4500N printed around 4PPM color, so I'm spoiled now with the speed of the the 3110CN.  It is a fast color printer.  Hopefully it will hold up for several years.  So far I feel it was a great bargain, and am glad I went with the 3110CN instead of the 3100CN.  Will see in the coming days, weeks and months.   Will continue to report after some daily use.

Forgot to mention that I also installed 512MB for a total of 640MB.  I think the speed increased dramatically by intalling this additional memory, particularly for large hi res printer files.

I received this printer three days ago and I love it too!  I have two gripes about it:   1. I am not sure if using the power button on the back way is the correct way to turn the printer off. 2. It constantly calibrates while warming up after Standby, anyway to turn this behavior off?   Other then these two small things I am impressed. :)

I looked at the manual that I downloaded from Dell and 2 things seems to stand out. Regarding re-calibrating after every power-save wake-up period - it seems to suggest that you can adjust the time that you printer would be inactive before it goes into 'power-save' mode.  Also turning off the compter via the switch in the back - yes, that is the only way they describe doing it.  There is something about making sure you do not plug your power cord into an extention cord, a battary back-up or power strip that is sensitive to power fluctuations.  Other than that I can't find anything else.

I just received this printer too along with a new M5200N.   The 3110cn has been upgraded with a 1GB RAM upgrade, Multi Protocol Board, Duplex unit and the wireless adapter.   The M5200N has an additional 500 sheet tray and a duplex unit,   The 3110cn looks like a very nice unit for the money.   Both of these units replace an HP LaserJet 2200DTN and a Business InkJet 2250DN   Cheers!
