The sleek and compact frame of the Lexmark E323 monochrome laser printer makes it a stylish choice for a small or personal office without compromising a minimum budget. It offers 1200 image quality output, promises quiet operation, and versatile paper handling, but the absence of finishing options and built-in network connectivity make the Lexmark E323 desktop laser printer less efficient for a busier and growing business.
Design
The Lexmark E323 is a 9 kg monochrome laser printer with a semi-breadbox-type appearance. The sleek and matte frame allows the device to be placed inconspicuously on a standard office desk, and the compact Lexmark E323 desktop printer won't take up too much space because it measures 14.2 inches deep, 15.4 inches wide, and 8.7 inches tall. There are only two operational buttons along with LED status indicators, while paper handling includes a 150-sheet input tray, a single sheet manual feeder, and a 100-sheet output bin. The E323 printer runs on 16MB of RAM with a 200MHz processor, and the main connectivity ports are type B USB and bidirectional parallel.
Advantages
Users can adjust the print resolution to 1200dpi so graphics can retain their details. The first page is ready in 9.5 seconds. The memory of the Lexmark E323 black and white laser printer is upgradeable to 144MB, while the paper capacity is expandable with a 250-sheet optional cassette. The Lexmark E323 mono laser supports printing on speciality media including envelopes, card stock, and transparencies. For a cheaper cost-per-print, this machine runs with a high capacity black Lexmark E323 laser toner installed which is beneficial in terms of cost-cutting.
Disadvantages
Fast Ethernet is optional for the E323 and there are no finishing options available. Print quality for images and smaller fonts looks poor when printed in default resolutions of 300dpi or 600dpi. The Lexmark E-323 doesn't offer two-sided printing either.
