Overview
A fuser that warms up almost at once lets this Lexmark laser printer start the first page quickly, and a dual-core processor with onboard memory handles graphics-heavy files. It prints black on both sides by default and joins an office network over Ethernet.
Quick first pages and default duplexing make it a good shared printer for text-heavy work. Wireless is listed only as an option, and the listing gives no dimensions to plan desk space.
Who it's for
Offices with a network jack near the printer and steady black and white volume will use it well. Households that print from phones and laptops without cables should look at a wireless model.
Pros and cons
- Quick first page out
- Duplex printing on by default
- Ethernet, USB and parallel ports
- Enterprise network security features
- No color output
- Wireless only as an option
- Dimensions not listed
- Two-line text display only
Performance notes
First page speed comes from the fuser heating almost at once rather than warming a large roller, so short jobs finish without a wait. The dual-core processor and onboard memory decide how fast image-heavy pages rasterize. Lexmark's Unison Toner system is designed to hold blacks and greys even as the cartridge runs down.
