Design
The Lexmark E323tn is designed specifically for space-sensitive areas, weighing just 9kg, and with dimensions of 221 x 391 x 361mm (height x width x depth). Operating systems supported include Apple Mac OS X, Apple Mac OS 8.6-9, plus Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP and Windows 7. It offers two standard paper sources. These are an automatic paper feeder tray, which holds up to 150 sheets of plain paper and is used for most print jobs, and a single-sheet manual feed, which should be utilised for media such as envelopes, labels, index cards and transparencies. The exit output bin on top of the printer holds up to 100 sheets, with the single-sheet front output door providing a straight-through paper path for specialist media. There is an optional 250-sheet tray available to increase the paper capacity if required.
Advantages
The Lexmark E323tn has a fast 20 pages per minute letter and 19 pages per minute A4 printing capacity, producing high-quality output at speed, with a 9.5-second time to first print, so short jobs can be fulfilled very quickly. The 200 MHz processor and 16MB of memory enable users to print complex jobs speedily, for exceptional performance.
Disadvantages
The Lexmark E323tn may not be suitable for organisations that have high-volume printing requirements. The paper feeder tray holds 150 pages which may mean for those who print quite a lot that it will need refilling often.
