For speedy output in either monochrome or colour, users can consider the Lexmark C510n printer for their small or medium-sized business. The Lexmark C510n colour laser printer offers versatile connectivity and language simulation features and expandability options to suit the requirements of a growing business, but additional accessories would mean spending more money for this already expensive laser printer.
Design
The C510n Lexmark laser printer looks understated with a boxy appearance that measures 16.5 inches deep, 19.5 inches wide, and 15.2 inches tall, though it manages to be surprisingly compact for the typical desktop and a small office. The entire device runs on 128MB of memory and a 500MHz processor. The 250-sheet output tray occupies most of the topmost space of the Lexmark C510n, which is right behind the small control panel. The middle is home to four toner cartridges. The bottom area houses the standard paper tray.
Advantages
It is reasonably fast at 8ppm as a standard, but users have the option to increase the memory to 320MB for more speed. The Lexmark C510n laser printer is fairly quiet and new toner cartridges last longer at up to 10,000 pages (black) and 6,600 pages (colour). Paper handling is quite versatile for transparencies, glossy paper, and envelopes with the 250-sheet paper tray. Users can increase the paper capacity of the Lexmark C510n to 530 sheets with an extra drawer. Built-in Ethernet, auto-duplexer, and a card reader are also integrated into the device.
Disadvantages
Integrating the duplexer and additional paper trays into the Lexmark C510n is expensive. The starter toner cartridge provided in the package runs out fast and replacement Lexmark C510n toner cartridges don’t come cheap, although cheaper compatible laser toners are available for the C510n. Setting-up the Lexmark C-510n colour printer can be problematic because it is heavy, weighing 30.3Kg. The small display screen could be a problem for some users especially when using the Lexmark C510n network laser printer under poor lighting conditions.
