This program takes ages to load and is not at all user friendly. Secondly the driver CD which came with the printer installed Corel Photo Album 6 onto my system as the default jpg reader. I have to therefore unplug the printer before I can use any other device which uses a USB port. I acquired one for use in my one-man office and since I plugged it into one of my 8 USB ports it has blocked my other 7 USB ports. My own experience of the Dell AIO 926 printer is not very favourable. I can't say that I agree with this article. To give just a printing indication for a 20x25cm image it took 330seconds so not that quick. There is also a box at the top of the sheet where the size of the image is selected 10x15cm on that sized paper or 10x15cm on A4 paper, 13x18cm on A4 paper or 20x25cm on A4 paper. You then fill in certain details in circles under the boxes like if you want 1, 2, 3 or 4 of that image printed.

The two page operation took just over ten minutes, not that quick. It prints a proof sheet with up to 25 images per page.

I gave it a stick drive with 44 images on it. The unit has two card slots one for SD, MS, XD and MMC while the other is for Compact Flash and Micro Drive there is also a Pict Bridge slot and this will also happily accept USB stick drives. Printing images direct from cards is another job that could be easier. The quality was again quite acceptable but as there are only seven buttons and a 5cm long LCD display anything but a like for like copy can take a while to produce.įax software is included but this can only send using Windows software and the unit has no ability to receive faxes so not the greatest feature. The software other holds the hand well giving easy to follow choices and these results are good.Ĭopying is possible from within the Windows software and again holds the hand well for the novice but surely most people copy from outside Windows either with the PC off or not even connected. If you wish to scan an image you get the various items installed by the process but to scan a page of text to Abbey you either need to scan from within it or add it manually to the list, not that user friendly for a company who supply a lot of items to novice users. The OCR software supplied is from Abbyy and is perfectly acceptable however for some reason this is not in the list of items that you can scan to. I tended to allow pages to fall onto the desk. Should you extend the paper output tray this adds another 30cm to the depth.

Lift the paper storage tray and this adds 17cm to the height and 9cm to the depth. I am pleased to say that the photo cartridge comes with a small holder to stop the ink drying out when it is not inserted.
