It's not suitable for anything much more demanding than that, but if a mono printer is what you're looking for, odds are that's good enough for your needs. Photo quality is at the low end of par for a mono MFP, which makes it good enough to print recognisable photos from web pages. Graphics output, similarly, is good enough for almost any business need, including PowerPoint hand-outs and the like. That makes the text a little short of what you would want for serious desktop publishing, but easily good enough for almost any business use. In both cases, the output is at the high end of the range where most mono laser MFPs fall. The B1165nfw's output quality counts as a plus, thanks primarily to its text and graphics. However, it should be enough for most personal use or for light duty use as a shared printer in a micro office. The paper capacity is only 150 pages, which means that if you print more than about 30 pages a day, including copies and incoming faxes, refilling the paper tray can turn into an annoying chore. One of the features that defines the B1165nfw as primarily a personal printer is its limited paper handling (with no upgrades available, either). In addition, it offers Wi-Fi Direct, which lets you connect directly to the printer from a mobile device and print over Wi-Fi even if you don't have an access point on your network. It also supports an assortment of mobile printing features, including Google Cloud Print for printing over the Internet and both AirPrint and Dell's own app for Android devices for printing over a Wi-Fi connection.

It can print and fax from, as well as scan to your PC, including over a network, and it works as a standalone copier and fax machine. The B1165nfw offers most of the MFP features you're likely to need.
