Lexmark E240

Though inkjets are much cheaper than laser printers, a slight increase in print jobs can make you replace cartridges every few days and your printing costs creep up in the long run. I felt that after using an inkjet in my little workplace where all I had to do was print a less than a hundred pages in black and white every day. I checked over the internet and came across the Lexmark E240 laser printer which I found is well suited for small office work.

The Lexmark E240 laser printer serves my cause pretty well. The promised speed is 27 pages per minute for Letter size and 26 for A4. The actual speed varies but it is still quite fast and is better than the old printer that I had. The built in memory can be extended from 16 to 80Mb. The resolution is pretty good generally for all types of documents. The toner system works pretty well for me as the toners last longer than the inkjet cartridges and this cuts down the running costs of printing considerably. The printer is compatible with Windows 7 and a host of other operating systems.

Lexmark E240 is a bit of an old model among the huge variety of laser printers available in the market these days. Then again, it is quite cheap too and serves the purpose of black and white printing very well. So why spend more for the newest stuff if you do not require the additional features that are available in the latest models. I feel this model is very much worth the money I paid for it and it comes with a one year warranty. What’s more, most of the printer’s components apart from toners are easily available.

One drawback of the Lexmark E240 is that there is no option of color printing. Although I do not have to print many colored pages, it’s still a shortcoming when you cannot get the odd colored document. However at the same time, the prices jump sharply once you move from black to color laser printers so one is willing to make the sacrifice if he or she does not have to color print all the time. The Lexmark E240 is also a good thing to have at home, when you need to get some printing work done at home, it can serve the purpose well and you do not have to spend much. I recommend you get a Lexmark E240 for your small text printing jobs and save your money.
