BUILD AND DESIGN
The Dell 2150cdn is a single function color laser printer, so as you might expect, there isn't much to the design. The 2150cdn won't be winning any awards for the "world's smallest laser-class printers," especially if you add the optional paper drawer, but the box dimensions (approx. 16 x 16 x 16 inches) were on par with competitors in the same class.

The 2150cdn is done in all black and offers a small back-lit LCD with a four-directional navigation and three quick keys on the top of the printer along with the 150-sheet output bin.

Users can access both the 1-sheet multi-purpose tray (good for envelopes, labels, etc.) and the standard 250-sheet paper tray on the bottom front of the 2150cdn. As mentioned, Dell also offers an optional 250-sheet paper tray taking the total capacity up to 501 pages.

Open the right panel to access the four toner cartridges (CMYK). The Dell 2150cdn offers both standard capacity toner cartridges with expected yield of 1,200 pages a cartridge and high capacity toner cartridges with expected yield of 2,500 pages per color cartridge and 3,000 pages per black cartridge.

On the back of the printer, users will find all the connection ports including a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connection and an Ethernet port for wired networking.
