A compact and slick, yet powerful, all in one from the house of Dell, that is what Dell 1235CN is. While there are no wireless options, it scores well on most other parameters.
Dell 1235CN comes with a maximum print resolution of 2400 x 600 dpi which is done at a quiet <48 Db. The scanner is 1200x1200 dpi with a colour fax option. The print speeds are average at 16 ppm for monochrome and 4 ppm for colour prints. The Dell 1235CN Toner Cartridges have a life of up to 1500 black and 1000 colour prints. One of the best parts is the small footprint that Dell 1235CN has, with an internal paper tray that can hold up to 150 pages. This printer is intended for personal use and thus a 150-page tray serves the purpose well, though the lack of an alternate feeder tray for different paper sizes is a bit inconvenient.
The print quality is quite good, with clear bright graphics that come out reasonably detailed. The photocopies come a little blurred, which somehow is not a good sign for a dry ink system. The connectivity options for this printer are through a standard USB 2.0 port, an ethernet, and a USB host port in front of the system. The medium duty Dell 1235CN Toner Cartridges with a higher cost of replacement mean that price per print is high, but market has a lot of compatible cartridges at a lower cost.
Overall, the Dell 1235CN is a good all in one for individual use. Its small footprint and good print and its scan quality works well for it.

The print quality of a printer can be affected by many reasons like clogged printheads, usage of old dried out Dell 1235CN toner cartridges or improper vertical alignment of the printer. Dropouts appear on the printed document, probably due to the low quality paper used for printing, so one should always use good quality paper for printing as recommended. Whatever the cause may be, the issue can be resolved by following some simple steps:
1. Dropouts AppearIf faded areas, generally rounded, occur randomly on the page:
- A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try reprinting the job
- The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has moist spots on its surface. Try a different brand of paper. Select the proper print media from manual
- The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper
- Change the printer option and try again. Go to printer properties, click Paper tab, and set type to Thick Paper. Refer to the Software section for details. If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative
If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page at even intervals:
- The Dell 1235CN Toner Cartridges may be damaged. If a repetitive mark occurs on the page, print a cleaning sheet several times to clean the cartridge. After the printout, if you still have the same problems, remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. Refer manual for replacing the Dell 1235CN Toner Cartridges
- Parts of the printer may have toner on them. If the defects occur on the back of the page, the problem will likely correct itself after a few more pages
