Let the Presses Roll!

LEXMARK 2400

Ok, I've seen some yea's and nay's regarding this brand and model. However, these past three months have (for me) proven my little "L24" to be a honey of a worker! Now as to perspective, I am NOT a techie. I'll leave that to those better qualified than I to even pronounce half of the things out there!

That stated...

Fax, Scan, Print, USB ports, software for dummies, it's an all in one for me.

I have nearly exhausted a 500ct. pk. of printer paper, I am into my second color cartridge, for this time period and still going strong. I've had this little workhorse milling out resumes gamillions this winter, re-write after re-write, corrections, tailored targeting, re-formats, etc. Faxing (why are we still using that?!?!?) all over the country.

Scanning specific applications, uploading the same (usb). The "All in One Center" software has been a breeze to operate (remember "dummy"). Recently a friend uncovered a box of old pictures from some long times ago before we had gray hair. Having lost most of my material history some few years ago now, I recognized a replacement opportunity!

Two days, I don't know how many prints, some 5 megs+ of picts. And all manner of file and e-mail shuffling, disc burning and on and on. The Lex has labored through it all. Many of the photos were quite improved by the software!

Roughly 16" X 12" X 5" in dimension, I find it fairly compact as these little critters can go. With a meager amount of desktop real-estate available to begin with, that is a huge plus for me.

Something like $29+ picked this up for me at the local Wally-mart, plus $4 worth of paper, cartridges about $15something (I think!), all in all I'm about $50-$70 in my winter "self-publicizing " odyssey.

I have owned this particular model some two yrs. now, with all manner of occasional use until this recent onslaught of print mayhem I've been putting it through.

I don't know if I would publish a book with it, make coffee or any of the other bells and whistles that seem to find themselves attached to periphs these days, but for a guy that just needs the job done.

The Lex is the one for me.
