Dell Goes Wireless with Home and Office Printers; New Wireless Printer Adapter and Multifunction Inkjet Product Make Printing Easier

ROUND ROCK, Texas - (Business Wire) - Nov. 18, 2004 - Dell (NASDAQ:DELL) is adding a new level of convenience to home and office printing with today’s introduction of the Dell Wireless Printer Adapter 3300 and the Dell Photo All-In-One Printer 962.

The Dell Wireless Printer Adapter 3300 allows consumer and small business customers to take advantage of the full capabilities of the 962—printing, scanning, copying and faxing—without being connected to the printer(a). Priced at $99, this Wi-Fi(R) (802.11b/g) network adapter also is compatible with the Dell Personal Laser Printers 1700 and 1700n, eliminating the need for these printers to sit next to a computer system, and freeing up desk space without compromising performance or functionality.

Print, copy, scan and fax with the Photo All-In-One Printer 962, priced at $179 and also introduced today. Advanced features such a 50-page automatic document feeder and a built-in fax modem make the 962 an ideal home- or small-office solution. It also makes photo printing easier by incorporating a PictBridge connection that attaches directly to a digital camera. And an optional photo ink cartridge helps create high-resolution, long-lasting pictures.

Technical specifications of the Dell Photo All-In-One Printer 962 include:

—Print Resolution—Up to 4800 x 1200 dots per inch (dpi);

—Interpolated Scan Resolution (Maximum)—19,200 x 19,200 dpi;

—Print Speed—Up to 20 pages per minute (ppm) in black, up to 15 ppm in color (actual print speed will vary with use); and

—Dimensions (HxWxD)—19.6” x 16.5” x 11.9.”

Since entering the market in March 2003, Dell has expanded its printer portfolio and global reach to address the needs of all customers—from consumers to large offices—with a full suite of single- and multi-function inkjet and laser products. All Dell printers come standard with Dell’s award-winning service and support staff, 24x7 toll-free telephone troubleshooting and one year of either Advanced Exchange(b) or Next Business Day On-Site(c) service.

Dell printers also feature a suite of supplies management utilities, including the Dell Ink Management System(TM) and the Dell Toner Management System(TM), designed to make installation, configuration and reordering of ink, toner and paper easy and efficient. The Wireless Printer Adapter 3300 now makes using these tools as simple when connected to a wireless network as when attached to a computer.

Additionally, through the Dell Recycling program, U.S. customers who purchase a Dell printer will receive pick-up and recycling of their old printer, regardless of the manufacturer, at no additional charge.
