The Lexmark X363dn offers a solution for a small or medium-sized office that needs a faster and network-ready printer for small to mid volume printing. The Lexmark X363dn is a 3-in-1 laser printer which is fairly affordable for its size and features, and is integrated with a copier and scanner to improve productivity in a work group. Some of its features lack speed, though, affecting overall performance.
Design
The Lexmark X363dn is a taller version of the company's line of multifunction devices with a more comprehensive and busier control panel. It is a monochrome laser printer that measures 18.5 inches tall, 16 inches deep, and 16.8 inches wide, and it can accommodate a standard number of 250 sheets at a time. The X636dn boasts intelligent specifications like integrated duplex printing and an automatic document feeder for 50 sheets. The Lexmark X363dn printer runs on a 266MHz processor with 128MB of RAM, making it fairly speedy in printing and copying.
Advantages
The Lexmark X363dn is an all-in-one device that allows a work group to multi-task. It is reasonably-priced and offers essential features like direct USB printing, colour scanning, and copying. It can be shared over a wired or wireless network, and it can be configured to print on 2 sides of one paper to help save resources. The speedy copier of the Lexmark X363dn multifunction printer can produce up to 35cpm. The Energy Star qualified Lexmark X363dn can also operate in 'ECO' mode for lower power consumption or 'Quiet' mode for reduced noise levels.
Disadvantages
Some users complain about the slow scanner of the Lexmark X-363dn multifunction printer; it generally slows down when the network is congested or when it is shared by too many users. The LCD display screen is too small and users may have a hard time determining which files to print directly from their USB flash drive. The Lexmark X363dn is also criticised for its weight, which is heavy and difficult to move at 20kg. Paper handling is limited to a maximum of 550 sheets, but only one paper drawer can be integrated into the machine at a time.
