Lexmark Printer - E352DN review

Lexmark Printer - E352DN review wallpaper and picturesLexmark has always had a reputation as a manufacturer of laser printers, but with a price of £ 240 plus VAT, even in the street prices, Lexmark E352DN only need to have something up its sleeve. That something is print speed, which cites Lexmark 33ppm and 19ppm measured.

This is fast for a desktop laser printer, although it is not easy to see why the high speed is vital in a machine designed for small workgroups and with a standard paper tray holding only 250 sheets. A second optional tray, holding 500 sheets, can be installed underneath the machine.

The printer has a squat, curved design very well and is dark gray and silver. At the top of the curve on the front panel is purely a control panel, consisting of a 16-character LCD screen for two lines, a ring of buttons to navigate through their menus, and buttons to start and stop print jobs.

Pages feed a depression at the top of the printer and if you print two-sided - that is, on both sides of the paper in a single work - each sheet is drawn back into the printer here to print the second side.

The Lexmark E352DN can be connected through its USB or Ethernet 2 sockets, which are standard, and the software supplied with the machine consists of the driver and a network monitoring tool. They are easy to install from the CD and the driver includes useful, such as printing water, posters, multiple pages per sheet and pamphlets, with the team function duplex.

Its toner and drum unit is one of two parts consumables, with the toner cartridge saturation in the tray drum. The full assembly behind slots at the top to bottom, front cover. The drum only needed after the replacement of 30000 percent in five pages of coverage, but the toner cartridge is needed to change, either after 3500 or 9000 pages, depending on the cartridge of your choice.

The cost of printing goes to 1.8p per page, which is not very high, but it is over some of its main competitors. Excellent print quality would mitigate against this, but the machine only has this Lexmark when printing text. Here is strong and well defined with a minimum of toner spatter.

Printing graphics, particularly photographs, is not as good, however, with noticeable banding and some very obvious dither patterns, even if the print quality 2400 dpi mode is established. The Lexmark E352DN has a native resolution of 1,200, but impressions of seeing the machine less than this.
