Design

The duplex feature on this unit is automatic, and the sound level of 48 dBA when the printer is in operation is lower than for many other models. The printer is compatible with several operating systems, including Windows and Linux. The Lexmark XS544dn has an input tray of 250 sheets, and the ADF can handle about 50 sheets of paper.

Advantages

The printer can scan directly to email, and you can also save documents to a flash drive. Copy and print speeds for both monochrome and colour prints are 23 pages a minute. You can enlarge documents up to 400% or reduce them down to 25%. The print resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi applies to both monochrome and colour prints and ensures good quality printing continually. You can print onto transparencies, envelopes and labels as well as standard paper.

Disadvantages

In a very busy office, the maximum recommended monthly print volume of 3,000 pages may not be enough, but this amount is adequate for the average office. It takes up to thirteen seconds to produce the first print for both colour and monochrome documents, which is also considerably slower than other models in the Lexmark range. The maximum paper size is legal. The machine is heavy at slightly more 27kg, so you will need more than one person to lift and move it.
