Laser 1700N
The Dell 1700N takes the compact 1700 mono laser and adds integrated Ethernet, making its 25-ppm, 1200-dpi output a shared office resource. With paper capacity expandable to 800 sheets and an optional 6,000-page toner cartridge, this small printer can quietly handle genuine workgroup volume.
That optional high-capacity cartridge is the headline for running costs: fewer orders, fewer swaps, and a much lower cost per page. Compatible versions bring those economics to any budget while keeping text sharp and dark.

Frequently Asked Questions
What toner does the 1700N take?
The 1700N uses the same 310-5400, 310-5401 and 310-5402 black toner family as the base Laser 1700, covering standard through higher-capacity options for one slot. The network 'N' variant changes nothing about supplies, so any cartridge listed for the 1700 works in the 1700N.
The 1700N shows as offline on the network, is it a hardware fault?
Usually not: the most common cause is the printer's IP address changing after a router reboot. Print a network configuration page to find its current IP, then update the printer port on your computers or, better, assign the printer a static IP so it stops wandering.
Can I check toner levels on the 1700N remotely?
Yes: type the printer's IP address into a web browser to open its built-in status page, which shows the 310-540x cartridge's remaining life. That is much handier than walking to the printer, especially when you are deciding whether to order a spare.
