The P513w uses two separate cartridges for tricolor and black/white inks and ships with standard-capacity cartridges in the box. We always default to a hardwired USB connection for our speed tests so the printer doesn't waste time pinging the router before sending a job through, but we can't imagine the average consumer having an easier time establishing a network connection. We saw on the Amazon product page that users reported similar errors, but Dell's support page doesn't have an answer yet. The error message seemed to resolve itself after we cycled the power on both the printer and the computer, but it still came back intermittently.

The installation disc that comes in the bundle does an adequate job of walking you through the Wi-Fi protected setup (WPS) using your wireless router's SSID and WPA password, but our connection kept giving us an error message that said 'Cannot Print over a Wireless Network,' despite the green notification light that supposedly indicates a solid connection. Like many modern all-in-one printers, the Dell P513w includes 802.11b/g wireless networking, freeing up the USB ports that would otherwise be used for a hardwired connection to the host computer. Regardless, we actually prefer the paper handling on the $200 HP Photosmart c6380, which employs two output trays to keep photos 4-inch-by-6-inch photos separate from 8.5-inch-by-11-inch documents. In comparison, the Epson WorkForce 310 can hold double the amount and it costs the same as the Dell.

The printer has no problem stacking individual print jobs in the output tray at a time, but we experienced multiple paper jams down there once we approached the 25-sheet limit. There, a plastic arm can only corral up to 25 sheets of plain 20-pound paper. The paper path of the P513w starts at the standard 100-sheet paper input tray that folds out of the rear and guides the paper through the printer until it eventually spits out underneath the control panel.

Additionally, be sure to hold onto the driver installation disc, as the ABBY FineReader Sprint software isn't available for download on Dell's Web site. In our testing experience, the software is fairly accurate, although we still suggest you check for inaccuracies after the scan completes. It provides you with basic optical character recognition functionality that will do its best to 'read' a scanned document and import the text into a word processor of your choosing, typically Microsoft Word. On the other hand, Dell deserves recognition for including a copy of the ABBYY FineReader Sprint software on the driver installation disc in the box. We're especially confused by the absence of an ADF in the P513w, since Dell offers one with the V515w that costs $30 less. However, Dell omits an auto document feeder (ADF) from the feature set that would normally prove useful for businesses and anyone else who doesn't care to feed individual documents into the scanner and copier. The top of the printer features a flatbed scanner and can handle up to 1,200x2,400 dpi resolution, a standard feature we expect to see on multifunction devices.

The Dell P513w's measurements (18.8 inches wide, 13.3 inches deep, and 9 inches tall) place it about average in terms of sizing compared with other multifunction printers we've tested, although at 15.3 pounds it weighs slightly above the baseline.
