Design

The Lexmark X364dn is a large office-style printer. It's not a floor model, but it certainly requires its own area, and is far too large for a workstation. The colour scheme is primarily medium grey with some sections of business white, such as the paper trays and the face beneath the control panel keyboard. The interface is robust, and it can be a little overwhelming when you first begin to use it. However, there are programmable keys that can streamline the most-used processes, and everything is available from a computer-accessible interface as well. Access to replace a used Lexmark X364dn toner is very easy. Up top is the paper output, and down below, you have the drawer. By default, this is a 250 sheet drawer plus a 50 sheet multipurpose drawer. You can upgrade this to a 550 sheet drawer by purchasing it separately.

Advantages

The biggest advantages to the Lexmark X364dn are price and speed. This is an extremely fast, high-quality monochrome printer, and Lexmark sells it slightly below market value as they try to increase their presence in this segment. And Lexmark doesn't sacrifice quality to achieve these speeds and prices. This machine scans and copies as well as it prints, and it handles large complex business-oriented print jobs without a hitch. Other advantages include the affordability of Lexmark X364dn toner cartridges and the efficiency with which the printer uses them.

Disadvantages

Some critics have referred to the Lexmark X364dn as a "diamond in the rough." The X364dn delivers the performance and feature set of a much more expensive machine. It does lack some of the refinement that those premium machines offer. However, in light of the considerable savings, most users can accept that shortcoming. Listing any other disadvantages would just be nitpicking. This is a solid machine all around with no major flaws.
