The device is suitable for someone who mainly wants to print with it. If you scan a lot, you should get a different machine.
The multifunctional device is OK for home use. The printer takes a while to start up, but the time it takes to print is acceptable. The quality of the print result is not bad either. But what really bothers me is the scanning. The user manual (which is only available on the homepage) doesn't mention that a scanner tool has to be downloaded from the Lexmark homepage in order to be able to scan at all. In addition, I have not yet found out how to scan two sheets of paper in succession to form one document. It couldn't be more complicated and it's very badly described. I really don't know what Lexmark was thinking. Otherwise, it would be a good device at a reasonable price. I can't say how long the toners will last.
I am absolutely delighted with this colour laser printer. It's a great device for small offices and home use. I think the price/performance ratio of this device is the best on the market at the moment.
The installation via the Lexmark app is very easy, I connected my device to the wifi network, made the mistake at the beginning to connect it to the 5GHz network, worked great for about 1 hour and then the printer was no longer available. After some research I read that the device is not designed for the 5GHz network, so I connected it to the 2.4GHz network and have had no problems since then.
When I first tried duplex printing, the paper jammed in the printer, it was always fed in at an angle, which could be easily removed by opening the rear flap. When inserting the printer paper into the paper tray, the spacers should be pushed exactly to the paper size, then the duplex printing works great.
The Lexmark app and Mopira Print work very well on my mobile phone and tablet with many additional print settings. I searched for a new printer in the print settings on my Windows 10 laptop and it was immediately found and embedded and works fine here too. All my devices run in the 5GHz network, only the printer via 2.4GHz, the communication is done by the router.
I have my device in constant standby, when I send a print job the device wakes up, carries out its work without any problems and then immediately switches back to standby mode.
I don't have to say much about the copier and scanner function, they do what they are supposed to do.
The print quality and speed are also absolutely satisfactory.Cheap, but no more
Pro
- For printing i.O.
Contra
- Can't do much already. Scanning extremely complicated and limited
Very good
So for the money, nothing to complain about. Except no software for the scanner, which is really stupid.
Contra
- the toners are not full. The same trick as with inkjet printers
