Lexmark E322n

Description: The Lexmark E322n is a 16 ppm, monochrome workgroup laser printer.Compared to other monochrome workgroup lasers on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $350.This unit has a maximum resolution of 600dpi.

Pros: At the small size of 15" x14" x9", this printer is easy to use in a small office.This product can be plugged directly into a LAN, so it can serve as its own print server.

Cons: Only prints at 16 ppm speed, which is somewhat slower than some similarly priced lasers.For example, the HP LaserJet 4300, at around $320, prints at 45 ppm speed.Also, this laser printer only has a 3000 pages duty cycle, which is shorter than some similarly priced lasers.For example, the HP LaserJet 5000, a 16 ppm laser printer at around $310, has a 10000 pages duty cycle.At 150 sheet, without additional trays, the Lexmark E322n doesn't handle as many printouts between refills than do most of its competitors.This laser printer does not support duplex printing.

Suitability: A monochrome workgroup laser printer, suited for high volume document printing.This printer can handle legal (8.5 in x 14 in) documents.

Value: In general, this laser printer's features seem a bit weak, even for its relatively inexpensive price.
