Lexmark Optra T620
The Lexmark Optra T620 is a monochrome laser printer suited to the home or small office market and adds a little more variety to Lexmark’s market presence. The company is a powerhouse when it comes to producing good quality printers. Once known almost exclusively for their high quality inkjets, it didn’t take them long to make an impact onto the laser market. Now Lexmark easily competes with the heavyweights like Brother and Xerox for position.
Installing the T620 is as easy as getting it out of the box, installing the toner cartridges and connecting it. Connect to a computer via USB, or network if you have the DN version. It works with all operating systems, including many flavors of Linux, and the driver suite is easy to install too. The web-based control panel makes maintenance simple and allows you to modify many printer settings from the desktop.
Considering the fact this is a laser that prints at 30 pages per minute it offers good value for money. The initial purchase price is reasonable as are the running costs. You can pick up a toner for around $70, which will last up to 30000 pages. The duty cycle is an amazing 100000 pages too, which spans a whole raft of markets. It’s cheap enough for the home user or SOHO market, but capable enough for the office or workgroup market too. This continues Lexmark’s trend of trying to cover as many bases as possible without compromising on any of them.
As for the print quality, text is printed clean and clear, with straight lines and the toner appearing black instead of the dark gray that plagues some lasers. Graphs and images are just as good, with an even spread and accurate grayscale reproduction. Our test document is 24 pages long and includes everything it is likely to meet in daily use. It is a real test of a printers capabilities, and sorts the men from the boys in no time at all.
