Lexmark Optra R and Makes for An Accomplished Printer

By Ben Pate

You can't go into a printer store without hearing the name Lexmark. This is because Lexmark has been around for a very long time and their line of printers is well renowned. You'll find these printers in stores all over the world and you'll also find that there are many people who happen to own one. If you need a decent monochrome laser printer then feast your eyes on the Lexmark Optra r and Lexmark Optra R toner. One of the best in laser monochrome printing, it is also quite cheap being only about $200. You'll find that you and just about anyone you know will be able to afford a printer such as this.

The tray has a very high capacity and can hold 200-500 sheets without much of a problem. This is great for anyone hat is running a home based business or a small office business. The only issue you'll run into is the fact that this is not multifunction and as such you won't be sending any faxes or scanned documents. This is a basic printer and as such it's just for printing documents. You'll also find that it does not have any support for digital camera.

What it can help with is your connection with other computers. It features networking options like Parallel, Serial, and even Ethernet. Using this you will be able to connect it to as many computers as you need to on your network. The one drawback is that it does not have wireless support, but this generally isn't a problem in an office. Most offices will use wired connection and thus wireless connectivity will not be a problem.

You'll discover sooner rather than later that Lexmark Optra R toner costs about $120, which isn't really good for a home based operation. If you are running a business however this will be fine. Toner cartridges can last for a very long time, and you can always shake them if they start to fade. So essentially, the price of the cartridge makes it great for business applications but not for home use.

The monthly duty cycle of the Lexmark Optra R is approximately 20, 000 to 49, 999 in a small work setting. This makes it perfect for those in an office who need to print fast. It is not recommended that you push it over the duty cycle however.

It has a lovely white exterior and is capable of printing on just about any sort of paper, including A4 and Envelopes. Because it is a monochrome printer you won't have to worry about purchasing and photo paper for it. Standard paper is very cheap these days, being only about $4-8 dollars per pack.

The printer comes standard with the ability to print fast, though it may not be as fast as some other high end printers. Besides that it can print a great 16 ppm, which is very good for a printer of this price. It also does a resolution of 1200x1200 DPI and that is good. When you think about it, there are many printers out there that are either cheaper or more expensive that don't do nearly that speed or resolution. You'll also find that comparable models from other companies may not have network support. - 22787
