Multifunction 1135N

For a small office that wants fax capability without a separate machine, the Dell 1135N multifunction delivers: a 4-in-1 mono laser with an automatic document feeder, a 320-page fax memory, and output at up to 22 to 23 pages per minute. It even scans in color, while everything it prints stays black — and everything it prints comes from one cartridge, the 330-9523, a standard cartridge rated at 1,500 pages.

The fax memory is the feature that shapes life with this machine. Incoming faxes are received and held, then printed in bursts — a signed contract at 9 a.m., a stack of orders after lunch. Add walk-up copying and everyday network printing, and the single cartridge serves three masters. Offices that get the most from the 1135N treat toner as part of the fax line itself: never out, never an emergency, always a spare in the drawer.

Which cartridge should you buy?

The family gives you two ratings — standard at 1,500 pages and high yield at 2,500 — and this page sells the standard cartridge in packs from a single to a 10 pack. Fax-heavy offices should think in bursts: the memory can hold 320 pages of incoming faxes, and printing a backlog like that in one morning is a real bite out of a cartridge. A 5 or 10 pack keeps that from ever becoming a problem and brings the per-cartridge cost down; the high-yield rating is the other sensible route for a machine that works this hard. A quiet office that faxes twice a week can stay with a single or a 2 pack and reorder as needed. All of these compatible cartridges are covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Because the cartridge is chipped, the 1135N tracks its level and warns ahead of empty — worth heeding on a machine whose fax queue does not pause for weekends. Ratings are quoted at 5% coverage; incoming faxes and copies of dark originals run heavier and shorten the count, which is normal arithmetic, not a faulty cartridge. If copies come out darker than prints of the same page, adjust the copy density setting rather than blaming the toner — copy exposure is set independently of print quality on this model. When a cartridge fades, rock it gently end to end to level the toner and finish the run. Keep spares sealed, upright and at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions

It scans in color — does it need color toner?

No. The color scanner reads documents in color for your computer, but the print engine is monochrome. Every printed, copied or faxed page uses the black 330-9523 cartridge and nothing else.

Does the 320-page fax memory save toner?

The memory stores incoming fax pages so the machine can receive them even while it is busy or offline for a moment, but printing those pages still uses toner. Memory changes when pages print, not whether they use toner.

Is this the same cartridge the 1130 printers use?

Yes — the whole 1130 family shares the 330-9523, from the desktop 1130 to the networked 1130N and 1133. An office running several family members keeps one toner type for all of them.

Which pack makes sense for a fax-heavy office?

The 5 or 10 pack. Incoming faxes print on their own schedule, including overnight, so the cartridge you can least afford to run dry deserves the deepest stock behind it.
