An optional photo cartridge is available separately. The Dell 922 also includes high-yield black and color inkjet cartridges. A single USB 2.0 port (cable not included) is located on the back of the machine along with the power-cord connector, and despite its lack of a network interface, the printer can function as part of a peer-to-peer network. A small control panel with a two-line LCD is on the top right.Īlthough this is a photo-quality multifunction printer, Dell doesn't include media-card slots or direct camera-to-printer ports-a big omission, we think. Since extending the paper trays increases the Dell 922's height and depth by about 5 inches, this is a not a machine made for small spaces. At 9 pounds, the lightweight Dell 922 is nonetheless a bit bulky for a multifunction in its class, measuring 17.2 by 12.7 by 6.6 inches (W, D, H). Carrying Dell's trademark colors, the Dell Photo All-in-One Printer 922 has a wide, silver lid- resembling the hood of a 1960s car, with a black underbelly and paper trays it's utilitarian, not beautiful. However, if you need fast printing and/or advanced fax options, you'll be better off with the Canon MultiPass MP390 flatbed multifunction printer instead. For inexpensive and high-quality flatbed scanning, copying, and image-manipulation tools, the Dell 922 is a good choice. Although the Dell rates the 922's print speed at a fast 19 pages per minute monochrome and a speedy 14 pages per minute color, in CNET Labs, the Dell 922 was one of the slowest-printing, yet fastest-scanning multifunction inkjets we've tested. The Dell Photo All-in-One Printer 922 is an affordable color inkjet multifunction with a flatbed scanner that is based on the Lexmark X5270.
