But despite its stripped-down appearance, the A940 is extremely functional and, therefore, very easy for beginners to use. The printer's casing is gray and black to match Dell's notebook and desktop line, which makes it look more interesting than your usual beige printer. Like the Lexmark X5150, the A940 doesn't let you fax directly from the machine. In fact, despite this device's hulking size and built-in flatbed scanner, this MFD's rickety-plastic input and output trays just scream budget inkjet. In fact, this multifunction device (MFD) costs less than $140-about the same as an inexpensive standalone printer or scanner. Judging by its large size and multiple uses (scanning, copying, and printing), you might expect Dell's A940 to be expensive.
Given its ease of use, many talents, and low price, the A940 is a solid choice for family and small-office use. For specific details, please see our corrections page. In short, the A940 may seem like a bargain at the outset-especially if you're buying a whole system from Dell-but in the long run, a printer such as the Canon MultiPass F30 offers similar quality and speed without costing you as much in replacement ink.Įditors' note: Since it originally posted, this review and its ratings have been updated to correct facts regarding the A940's ink costs. Other than that, you'll find the same wealth of functions and ease of use, as well as mediocre print quality and high ink consumption.
Also, Dell's new multifunction costs a bit less than Lexmark's, and it comes with Dell's service and support, which is more comprehensive than Lexmark's. Why review it, you ask? Because this printer and its two counterparts, Dell's S2500n and P1500 laser printers, represent the company's first attempts to brand its own peripheral devices. That's because it's the same printer with a Dell logo slapped on. You may recognize the Dell A940 printer as the fraternal twin of another multifunction printer that we reviewed recently: the Lexmark X5150.
