1815dn -- what is different?

What is different or improved with the 1815dn compared to the 1600?

I am fairly satisfied with my 1600. Was more satified with the original one I had (this one likes to reset itself at the most inopportune times).

Looking at the tech specs, there are no differences, except maybe print speed.

Anyone?

    Faster Printing
    Built in Duplexing
    You can scan from a USB key
    Fax from PC using a USB or Network connection
     
    I believe they tweaked the paper path as well to address the frequent jam issues this printer had.

    Have you been able to receive faxes with your 1815dn? How did you find the web console admin password? Please advise.

    The password is the last 8 characters of the MAC address. There is no username required. They seem to have left out a lot of information in the user guide shipped with the printer. Good luck changing the password, I still haven't been able to do that.
    I also notice when faxing (I realize this is not a color machine) that blues, greens and reds which I can fax (and the appear black to the receiver) on a $50.00 fax machine, I cannot do on 5 of these 1815dn units. I also have noticed on these same units that slight variations (of which ones I am still trying to figure out) in the settings cause the machine to go into an error mode which then requires all settings to be cleared and the machine reprogrammed -- What a headache this is. I hope they come out with some type of firmware update soon to fix all these "little" problems that are right now going to prevent me from buying about 20 more to replace fax machines that are wearing out.

    Username: admin
    Password: 4455

    Mac Address works, but above is a might bit easier.

    And it let's you change the password. I guess even the Dell Techs need some more paperwork on this one!

    Thanks!!

    In researching the 1815dn, did I see it has the ability to forward an inbound fax electronically via e-mail - is so, what format is the attachment
