Dell Updates Imaging Portfolio with New Color and Monochrome Printers
Round Rock, Texas, – Dell today announced an updated portfolio of new laser printers designed to help businesses maximize workforce productivity and office efficiency. The three new multi function printers and five single function printers will allow customers to manage print reliably, digitize content for sharing and integrate document processes for an efficient work environment.
Wireless setup has never been easier with Dell Printer Easy WiFi Installer. Customers can enjoy a fast and easy printer set up with up to 4 x less number of clicks with the new Dell Printer Easy WiFi installer available on the new entry class WiFi color printers.
Multi-function Printers
The new multifunction printers, the C1765nf, C1765nfw, and B3465dnf are designed to help businesses capitalize on digital document management and productivity solutions and integrate with existing document processes to create an efficient and collaborative work environment. Home offices and small business owners can benefit from affordable color printers with robust connectivity options and efficient document management. Medium businesses and large enterprise workgroups can capitalize on performance, built-in security and management tools, high monthly duty cycles and easy-to-use in-device solution applications for office productivity.
“Dell recognizes the vital role of multi-function printers in today’s evolving workplace, enabling businesses to do more beyond printing with the creation of digital data from scanning hard copy documents to support digital document ecosystems and workflows,” said Lee Hui Li, general manager, Global Imaging, and executive director, Dell Software & Peripherals. “At Dell, we view printers as tools not only for printing, but as part of a broader end point device ecosystem that supports the creation, consumption and integration of digital data and information with electronic workflows and application systems that support an evolving and collaborative workforce.”

Wave Payroll Gives U.S. Small Business Owners the Fastest and Easiest Payroll Solution

TORONTO/PRNewswire/ – Wave Accounting (Wave), the disruptive creators of award-winning free small business accounting and payroll software, today launched the U.S. edition of Wave Payroll. This easy-to-use, cloud-based payroll solution is designed to work the way small business owners do, making it the first truly intuitive payroll application on the market. Business owners can sign up for free at www.wavepayroll.com. Launched in the Canadian market earlier this year, Wave Payroll is now available in all 50 states. Its cost of $5 or less per employee per month* makes it the most affordable payroll solution available for small business owners.
“For most small businesses in the U.S., especially those with fewer than 10 employees, traditional payroll solutions just don’t make sense. They’re too expensive and complicated for a small business owner,” said Kirk Simpson, co-founder and CEO of Wave Accounting. “With Wave Payroll, we essentially reinvented the payroll process by developing a solution that is quick, affordable and easy to use, while helping to avoid costly non-compliance penalties.”
With Wave Payroll, employers can:
- Pay employees via check, or choose direct deposit at no extra charge;
- Confidently manage federal, state and local payroll taxes without ever needing to consult a payroll calculator;
- Easily handle vacation time, including the option to pay vacation hours on each check, or to accrue the vacation hours worked for another date;
- Assign payroll deductions or benefits to each employee on a one-time or recurring basis; and
- Provide employees with a self-serve portal to maintain their contact information, and to retrieve their pay stubs and other documents.
Wave Payroll is available immediately and signing up and looking around is free; no credit card needed. Running payroll is $5 or less per employee per month, with no charge until the first payroll is completed; no charge for employees not paid in a given month. To coincide with the start of the 2013 tax year, Wave will also include an option as of January 2013 to handle tax deposits and tax filings for a flat fee of $25 per employer per month.
